Yokohama-shi Environmental Management System

Yokohama City Hall has established policies for environmental actions that employees should take in daily office work activities and operates an environmental management system.

Yokohama is a big city, but is blessed with natural environments such as water and greenery. It is our duty to protect, nurture, create, and pass it on to the next generation of children.

In cooperation with citizens and businesses, Yokohama City Hall is developing various environmental measures, including measures against global warming, reduction of waste, and green conservation.
