The main object of this research is to enhance the capability of the integrated chemicals management in society. We developed the evaluation indicators concerning the corporate activities of integrated chemicals management in order to aim the improvement of voluntary management by corporations. These indicators are the matrix of three horizon axes and four vertical axes. The horizon axes are Science axis (enrichment of science basis), Capacity axis (ability of persons and organization), and Performance axis (achievement, situation of cooperation with clients, and/or information disclosure to society). The elements of the vertical axes are hazard assessment, exposure assessment, risk assessment and risk management. We carried out the questionnaire survey by using this evaluation indicator system. This system was very useful to evaluate the slight differences in corporate activities concerning integrated chemical management.
