Other than human resources, management resources such as product materials, equipment for manufacturing (dies, facilities and tooling & jigs), and energy are invested. We consider reduction (or efficient use) of product materials, which constitutes more than 50% of management resources, as one of the top priority issues of our business.

 We will also focus on environmental aspects related to our business activities (product manufacturing, service businesses, and insurance agency services) to accurately assess their impacts on the environment. Upon this, we will set environmental objectives and conduct environmental conservation within our technological and economical powers based on the following policies/commitments.
  1. We will review environmental goals periodically, and implement continuous improvement on the environmental management system.
  2. In the manufacture of automobile parts, we take into consideration the environmental impact of our products, while working on energy conservation and the prevention of environmental pollution during manufacturing, and review operational aspects (processes) related to plant facilities and the resources and energy used in manufacturing in order to achieve resource and energy conservation and reduce industrial waste.

VOC and Odor Control

Installation of a heat storage type deodorizing device has reduced the amount of VOCs and malodorous components produced during painting processes by 97.0 to 99.9%.
* What is VOC?
VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. Main VOC compounds include toluene, xylene, and ethyl acetate, which are commonly found in paints, inks, glues, detergent, gasoline, thinner, etc. These air pollution substances generate photochemical smog by photochemical reactions in the air.

Noise Control

Covering the pressing machines with noise-preventing covers reduced noise by 15 to 20%.

Energy Saving

Changing lights used in plants from florescent lights to LED reduced energy consumption by approximately 50%.
