Our Group's
Sustainability Policy
Guided by the ideas of "Joint" (to connect) and
"Happytize" (to bring happiness), our group works through its business activities to help realize
a sustainable society.
Connecting things, connecting people,
connecting society.
We believe that each of these, accumulated one by one, leads to security and trust,
and to the creation of value for the future.
By layering the value each business generates, we will remain a group that society continues to need.
ENVIRONMENT
Working toward a sustainable society, we draw on the particular character of each business to reduce environmental impact. Raising the safety and durability of infrastructure leads to the effective use of resources and to curbing environmental burden.
Improving operational efficiency and advancing the use of digital tools also contribute to reducing energy consumption and paper use. Not only through special initiatives but through our everyday business activities themselves, we contribute to building a sustainable environment.
SOCIAL
Connecting people to people and spreading happiness.
That is the value shared across all of our group's businesses.
Manufacturing that supports infrastructure, services that preserve family moments for the future, initiatives that support diverse ways of working, and technical support that drives corporate evolution.
Each business sits in a different field, yet all are bound together by the idea of "connecting." We believe that our business activities themselves are a force that creates new value for society.
GOVERNANCE
To achieve sustainable growth across the group, we have built a management structure that places a premium on transparency and integrity.
As a holding company overseeing each operating company, we share our philosophy and carry out appropriate risk management, underpinning a stable management foundation.
Beyond legal compliance, we work to strengthen sound and sustainable governance so that we remain a company society can trust.

We will continue to aim to be a company where everyone can find their work rewarding and excel.

While valuing relationships of trust with our partner companies and suppliers, we are working to build a sustainable supply chain. By collaborating with one another and pursuing manufacturing that draws on our respective strengths, we contribute to a stable supply of products and the creation of social value.
