The Earth, where we have lived so far, is at risk of an ecosystem collapse that threatens all of humanity. The word “climate change” is used because this crisis is right around the corner. In 2019, the United Nations announced that we only have 11 years left to save the Earth. In other words, it is necessary to curb carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and keep the rise in global average temperature to less than 1.5 degrees from pre-industrial levels. If we do not achieve this, the rise in temperature could reach 3 to 4 degrees by 2100, threatening the functioning of ecosystems and human society.
As a company that exists on Earth, the Suzutake Group is working to achieve the goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030.

Recently, we have been increasingly using materials made from biomass PET and recycled PET when procuring film for sample pouches.
In addition, we would like to further promote activities to reduce our environmental impact, such as adopting N6-Plus for the stretch film we use to secure products during delivery, which can reduce waste by approximately 50% compared to regular film.

Starting in 2021, B-TEC Co., Ltd. is conscious of energy conservation and has changed all lighting in its offices and factories to LED lighting, monitored demand, and made it the factory’s responsibility to monitor to ensure that the amount of electricity does not increase excessively.

Qingdao Lingcheng Cosmetics Co., Ltd. controls emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) generated when burning fuel, as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated during the painting process, in accordance with Chinese national standards.

The Suzutake Group has set up an in-house harassment consultation desk to provide an environment where employees can feel free to discuss their concerns.
We also actively hire female employees and have set up a shortened working hours system to make it easier for parents with small children to work, allowing them to work according to their lifestyle. We also have a track record of male employees taking parental leave, and we aim to increase this rate in the future.

The Suzutake Group is proactive in hiring people with disabilities.
We work with public employment security, support organizations, special needs schools, and experts to accept people with disabilities for on-the-job training, and after they join the company, we also take steps to help them settle into the workplace, such as holding regular meetings with supporters both inside and outside the company.

The quality of the Suzutake Group is based on the high awareness and sense of responsibility of each employee. For this reason, we have implemented a wide range of educational systems, including external training and e-learning.

In recent years, as social and environmental issues have become more serious, it has become important for each employee to comply with laws and regulations, respect social norms, and work toward realizing a sustainable society.
At the Suzutake Group, each employee strives to incorporate sincerity into everything they do as members of society. We also work together with our suppliers to work toward realizing a sustainable society.
