Energy Efficiency Initiatives

CLIMATE ACTION

Our Research Center uses windows high up on the central atrium stairwell walls to provide natural lighting, and uses a system designed to bring that natural light to every room on every floor, to help reduce energy used on artificial lighting. We also make a point of choosing energy-efficient options when replacing or installing new equipment, such as LED lighting.

Water Resource Conservation Initiatives

CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES LIFE BELOW WATER

As a step toward conservation of our nearby water resources, we have installed a wastewater treatment facility at the plant where we make our tape products. This facility evaporates the water used during production, enabling us to dispose of the solid residues.


Regional Development Initiatives

SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES

We are patrons of the Shusui Museum of Art, as our way of contributing to the cultural enrichment of the region. We are also enthusiastic supporters of our local sports teams here in Toyama, among our various efforts to support regional development.
