Individual thoughts on Satisfaction for the Global Environment

Engaging with climate change issues via corporate activities

It is necessary to know the volume of CO2 emissions before reducing them. We first calculated and disclosed the volume of emissions from our plants in 2020. Since then, we continue to expand the scope of our investigations. Henceforward we must enter the reduction phase, so our company has carried out organizational restructuring for that purpose.
Going forward, we are also looking at reductions and disclosure of information on the part of the entire Group. We will work on both product development and sustainability implementation to fulfill our responsibilities as a member of society, and to become a Group of which the next generation of young people will say, "I want to work for a company like that."

Engaging with climate change issues via corporate activities

Recognizing that measures against climate change are an important challenge in the creation of a sustainable society, the entire Group will endeavor to gain a grasp of the volume of greenhouse gas emissions generated through all business activities, including procurement, manufacturing, sales, and delivery, and strive to reduce them.

Developing goods, services and mechanisms to encourage the recycling of resources

In order to make efficient use of limited resources, we promote resource-saving design and reuse waste materials such as offcuts and used products to reduce the amount of raw materials utilized and waste generated, while also promoting the creation of products with a view to recycling. We carry out in-depth research from the perspectives of materials, design and recycling technology, and propose new systems and services.

Investigating and reducing hazardous chemical substances

We will switch from raw materials which contain chemical substances that may cause water, air, or soil contamination, or may have a worrying impact on the human body, to safer raw materials. We strive for appropriate disclosure of information regarding chemical substances to our employees and customers, and provide safe and reliable products that pay due consideration to the global environment.
