Pioneer products go through various planning, design and manufacturing processes before they are delivered to the customer, used and then disposed of or recycled at the end of their useful life. Various impacts on the environment are unavoidably generated in each process. Pioneer continues to devote every effort to reducing such environmental impacts.
