Renewal of Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Jul-24
We renewed the wastewater treatment facilities at our Osaka Office, which had been in operation for half a century. Because the previous facilities had an open structure, they occasionally caused inconvenience to nearby residents due to noise and odor. The new facilities have an enclosed structure and are equipped with enhanced noise-control and deodorization systems, and we believe they will help prevent such issues from recurring.
Sustainability Management System
We have established the Sustainability Management Group and the Sustainability Committee to advance sustainability management. Working across departments, these organizations formulate policies, drive initiatives, and monitor progress in areas such as the environment, quality and safety, supply chain management, human capital, governance, and information disclosure. Through these efforts, we aim to enhance sustainable corporate value.
Track Record
We place importance on reducing environmental impact and fulfilling our social responsibilities, and we disclose data related to energy, emissions, and human rights every year. Through transparent information disclosure, we promote sustainable corporate activities.
