Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainability

So That Society and Moritsune
Will Remain Sustainable
for the Next 1000 Years.

Initiatives toward SDGs

We have made the "SDGs Declaration" to strengthen our efforts towards achieving the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

By sharing a common understanding of issues across the organization and working on specific activities to resolve them, we will put into practice activities aimed at realizing a sustainable society.

Let's Achieve
Gender Equality

We are actively recruiting women, as we believe this will lead to stable employment for the company. We are also reviewing and improving all of our internal systems to make the most of women's abilities.

For example, we are creating a remote work system that utilizes ICT, and a new organizational structure that covers muscle and physical strength. We would like to continue creating opportunities for women to expand their fields of activity.

Specific Initiatives

Creating Opportunities for Women to Thrive
  • Number of female staff: 25 (out of 65)
  • Female executives: 2
  • Female managers: 3 (out of 10)
  • Introduction of maternity leave and childcare systems

*As of November 2024

Actively Employ Young People in the Local Area and Contribute to the Local Economy

Our goal is to promote "decent work," a non-discriminatory way of working, and to achieve essential prosperity while continuing economic growth.

  • Ensure women's full and effective participation and equal leadership opportunities in political, economic and public decision-making at all levels.
  • Strengthen the use of enabling technologies, particularly information and communications technology (ICT), to advance women's empowerment.

Responsible Rroduction
and Consumption

The Earth's resources are not infinite. We use responsible and sustainable production methods that aim to utilize resources efficiently, coexist with nature, and recycle resources. We also work on product development that allows for sustainable consumption and production.

Specific Initiatives

GRS certification (pending)

The Global Recycle Standard (GRS) is an international voluntary standard that covers the social and environmental aspects, quality, and legal compliance of the processing and manufacturing of recycled products. We are currently in the process of obtaining certification.

Certification requires that more than 50% of raw materials are recycled, that chemicals containing hazardous substances are regulated, etc. In addition, company-level energy usage data and reduction plans are submitted, and employee labor and wage systems, the presence or absence of discrimination, and internal controls of companies and unions are also examined.

Use of LPG

Compared to other fuels, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) emits less carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) when burned. Using LPG contributes to reducing environmental problems such as air pollution and global warming.

Promoting Textile Recycling

100% polyester and 100% nylon materials can be recycled if the correct processes are followed, and we are beginning efforts to promote this.

We purchased a bleaching machine in collaboration with Sanyo Trading Co., Ltd., and are now bleaching used fibers and handing them over to our partner companies. We also purchase yarn that has been processed by our partner companies and process it to create new products.

Protect the Abundance
of the Ocean

The ocean is essential to human life and livelihood, and to our company, which uses the Earth's resources. We strive to conserve the oceans and marine resources and use them sustainably for sustainable development. We hope that children will continue to be able to see the beautiful ocean scenery that we have seen, and that it will remain unchanged.

Specific Initiatives

Appropriate Treatment of Dye Wastewater

The facility is equipped with a three-tank activated sludge system. Dyeing wastewater is treated in a raw water pit tank, a pH adjustment tank, and an aeration tank, and the final effluent indicators (BOD, SS, PH) are adjusted to within the standards for discharge into the Sea of Japan.

In addition, a biofilm treatment device is installed between the PH tank and the aeration tank, and specially processed factory wastewater that cannot be treated using the normal activated sludge method is adjusted to meet the discharge standards.

Discharge water management

Toyo Saver Co., Ltd. prepares a daily report on the management of the wastewater treatment facility every two weeks. It reports on the transparency of the discharged water and takes appropriate measures.

Observation of Indicator Microorganisms

We have begun observing the following indicator microorganisms using the new equipment.

  • Non-activated sludge organisms
  • Intermediate sludge organisms
  • Activated sludge organisms
  • Testate Amoeba, Metazoa
  • Filamentous bacteria

Health and Productivity
Management Initiatives

In order to become a "1001 (Sen'i = Textile) Company" that will continue to exist for 1000 years, we believe that our employees must first be healthy both physically and mentally. We are promoting the health of our employees throughout the company so that each employee can work energetically and maximize their individuality and capabilities.

  • 01

    Promoting Work-life Balance

    We are working to improve work efficiency to prevent long working hours. We also set recommended days for taking paid leave and collect and manage the rate of leave taken in order to increase the rate of paid leave taken.

  • 02

    Disease Prevention and Early Detection

    We implement regular health checkups for 100% of our employees, and after the checkups, we provide appropriate health guidance and recommend secondary checkups. We also subsidize the cost of influenza vaccinations to prevent infectious diseases.

  • 03

    Preventing Passive Smoking

    With the exception of designated smoking areas, smoking is prohibited anywhere on the premises. We are also currently discussing the possibility of abolishing smoking areas.
