Green Procurement
  • Based on our Green Procurement Policy of "Achieving improvement activities aimed at a better global environment through manufacturing," we will work together with our suppliers to realize a low-carbon society and conserve the global environment, including the conservation of biodiversity, with the aim of achieving a society in which sustainable development is possible. We manufacture products using parts that conform to laws, regulations, and other regulations concerning environmental load, and parts that contain no banned substances and can be proven to be non-contained.
Structure for carbon neutrality
  • To date, we have worked to reduce CO2 at our plants by upgrading and consolidating our manufacturing facilities, switching from heavy oil to gas/electricity, and adopting high-efficiency hydraulic units and LEDs.
  • Going forward, we will further strengthen and expand our approach by utilizing renewable energy, innovating production lines, and reorganizing plants.
