Environmental Policy

Guided by its fundamental principles, the SATAKE Group is committed to providing high-quality products and services while conducting its business in an environmentally responsible manner and contributing to the well-being of all those connected with the Group.

View the Environmental Policy

The SATAKE Group operates an environmental management system based on ISO 14001 to support the implementation of its Environmental Policy. We systematically identify environmental risks and opportunities associated with our business activities, products, and services and work to reduce our environmental impact while developing environmentally responsible products and technologies.
We establish environmental targets, implement initiatives, and monitor our progress to continually improve our environmental performance. Regular management reviews and internal audits help us evaluate the effectiveness of these initiatives and make improvements in response to changes in our business environment and evolving societal expectations.
We also value ongoing dialogue with our stakeholders and seek to build trust through our approach to environmental issues while contributing to a more sustainable society.

Currently, SATAKE and four other Group companies in Japan have obtained ISO 14001 certification.

Climate change is contributing to an increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events in Japan and around the world. International initiatives such as the Paris Agreement have reinforced the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition toward a low-carbon society. Businesses also have an important role to play in addressing climate change from a long-term perspective.

The SATAKE Group has identified Addressing Climate Change as one of its key material sustainability issues. Across our business activities—from product design and development to manufacturing, logistics, and services—we work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy efficiency. We also contribute through the development of products and technologies designed to help customers reduce their environmental impact.

Reducing Environmental Impact Throughout the Product Lifecycle

The SATAKE Group works to reduce environmental impact throughout the entire product lifecycle—from design and development through manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life disposal or recycling.
During product development, we consider not only customer requirements and regulatory standards but also the environmental impact at each stage of the product lifecycle. These assessments are incorporated into the design process as we continue to develop environmentally responsible products and systems.
Environmental performance is also evaluated through our design review, verification, and validation processes to ensure that established requirements are met.
Through these efforts, we seek to reduce environmental impacts across our value chain and contribute to a more sustainable society.

The SATAKE Group works continuously to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its operations. Across our business sites and Group companies, we are introducing energy-efficient equipment, improving the efficiency of existing equipment, and reducing energy consumption in our daily operations through measures such as the use of LED lighting.
When replacing or upgrading equipment, we prioritize high-efficiency machinery and review operating practices to optimize energy consumption. We also monitor and analyze electricity and fuel use to identify opportunities for continuous improvement. Employee awareness and participation are an important part of establishing effective energy-saving practices throughout the Group.
