SDG Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

6. Clean Water and Sanitation

“Water-Related Business”: Groundwater, when properly managed and conserved, is recognized as a stable and sustainable water source. Our “Water Intake Screens” are used for efficient groundwater intake. For water treatment, we support a circular economy through the promotion of our “Chemiles” water treatment system. Chemiles minimizes waste using chemical-free water treatment technology with extremely low environmental impact.

Our Activities in Water-Related Business are

SDG Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

7. Affordable and Clean Energy

“Energy-Related Business”: We continue to supply products called “Screen Internal“, which are used in the production process of chemical raw materials (propylene) processed from “propane gas,” a clean energy source, instead of crude oil. Recently, our other products have delivered to waste oil refining plants for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production. Furthermore, we will contribute through modernization projects to upgrade existing petroleum refining and chemical plants with more energy-efficient equipment.

Our Activities in Energy-Related Business are

  • Supplying “Screen Internal” for Oleflex™, enabling the production of low-environmental-impact propylene (polypropylene)
  • Supplying Internals for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) processes, and
  • Supplying Internals to plant modernization projects for existing petroleum refining and petrochemical plant facilities.

Furthermore, we will contribute to a sustainable society through our support with partner companies and our value chain network regarding the following SDGs.

4.Our CSR Procurement Policy

Based on our Sustainability Policy, we aim to fulfill our social responsibilities as a company, respect the principles of the United Nation Global Compact, promote initiatives toward achieving the SDGs, and pursue sustainable material procurement.

We require our major suppliers involved in our supply chain to establish a Corporate Code of Conduct and management system similar to ours, based on our CSR Procurement Guidelines, and request self-assessments regarding CSR procurement.
The Corporate Code of Conduct covers: Information Security (Protection of Personal and Confidential Information), Business Continuity Planning (BCP Development), etc.
In terms of management systems, we will promote the establishment of management systems on the part of our business partners, supplier management, import/export management, the development of complaint handling mechanisms and the monitoring of progress.

Through these actions above, we aim to realize our sustainable supply chain management.
