Our activities
-
We have installed a solar power generation system on the roof of our main building (generating power equivalent to ten households), achieving a 19,800 kg reduction in yearly CO2 emissions. This is equivalent to the effect of planting 1,000 trees. We will continue to gradually expand the system. -
We have applied a photocatalytic coating to the walls of our plants, which breaks down and eliminates NOx gases, cleaning the air. This coating is also self-cleaning and helps insulate the buildings. -
We are greenifying our walls to improve the local scenery, fight heat island effects, improve soundproofing, and help purify the air. -
With the cooperation of the town of Shirakawa, we are engaged in an environmental conservation initiative to protect forest resources and prevent global warming in a 4.7 ha greenbelt in the town. -
Not only in our business premises, but in the local areas we have been promoting a green environment even around the surrounding city sidewalks. Employees are aware of the importance of environmental beautification, we also conduct regular clean-up activities as well to encourage these voluntary activities. -
We treat all of our plants' waste water ourselves and have passed internal standards that are even stricter than what is required by law.
