Environment
Environmental load lowering initiatives
We strive to continuously enhance environment control under ISO 14001 management systems.
In addition to installation of solar power generation facilities on building rooftops, we work to lower daily power consumption through heightened productivity, support resource recycling and reduced waste with comprehensive sorting of trash, and advance other spirited measures.
We are working to reduce CO2 emissions all over the world.
We are proud to contribute to the spread of solar cells and the reduction of CO2 emissions worldwide through the manufacture and sale of conductive pastes for high-efficiency solar cells.
While silver, a precious metal, is also a material with a relatively high CO2 emission coefficient in the manufacturing process, we are committed to developing new products that reduce the use of environmentally hazardous precious metals.
This is how we contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions and environmental protection worldwide.
