Eco-friendly Products
Basic Concept
In addition to reducing the environmental impact of our business activities, we also aim to reduce the environmental impact of our products throughout their entire life cycle, including when they are used and recycled at our customers' sites. By acquiring external environmental certifications such as the "EcoLeaf" and "Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP)", we believe that we can be easily selected by our customers and thus contribute to reducing the environmental impact of society as a whole.

Development of Eco-friendly Products and Services
Although steel is a material that can be recycled semi-permanently, the entire life cycle of steel, including manufacturing, distribution, use, disposal, and recycling, has an environmental impact, such as the generation of CO2. Our group has acquired environmental certification to produce eco-friendly products and services with reduced environmental impact and to allow our customers to make objective judgments. We will continue to maintain reliability and transparency while balancing the environment and management.
