1) Stance on CO2 reduction based on Company policy
Based on the Company motto of “Creativity, Integrity, and Cooperation,” Nippon Stud Welding Co., Ltd. positions “tackling environmental issues as an essential requirement for the survival of a company” as one of its management issues. All employees are committed to proactive and continuous efforts to enhance global environmental preservation.
2) Plans
- Promoting activities to reduce CO2, led by the Environment Committee
- Consideration of introducing a photovoltaic power generation system (PPA)
- Converting lighting at all locations to LED
- Converting business vehicles to HVs and EVs
- Strengthening power-saving activities
- Using public transportation
-
Examination of hazardous substance included in products and measures
We stopped using hazardous substance such as hexavalent chromium etc. We work on correspondence to RoHS DIRECTIVE.
-
Environmental preservation by applying stud welding construction method to plant machinery such as boiler
-
Examination of waste volume of packing materials and reduction of them
We stopped using plastics for packing parts used in-house.
We use natural-derived packing materials for shipment which do not discharge hazardous substance. -
Reduction of wooden crate waste
We changed wooden crate packing to tri-wall packing. It led to weight reduction and packing work reduction.
-
Saving photocopying and papers
(We introduced CD-ROM for operation manuals)We reduced photocopies for distributing materials such as operation manuals by asking CD-ROM distribution.
-
Promotion of green purchase of office supplies
-
Classification waste dumping and Recycling
We classify waste dumping such as metal scraps, papers, cardboards, plastics etc. in accordance with established rules.
After classifying waste dumping, we ask each disposal company to recycling or final disposal. -
Reduction of power consumption by demand control
Demand control monitors power consumption amount in real time.
If it may exceed set-up consumption amount, it will automatically adjust output of air conditioners and controls so as not to exceed fixed power consumption amount all the time. -
Tree-planting activity
We work on tree-planting activity. We plant cherry trees, gardenia trees and fragrant orange-colored olives etc. and grow ornamental plants in a pot in the office too.
-
Effective use of work flow by groupware
By using work flow, we reduce papers, share information and speed up process.
-
Cloud-based payroll and withholding tax statements / Cloud-based expense reimbursement processing
Significant reduction to writing paper usage, business efficiency realized
