SDGs
Striving for Sustainable Development through Exceeding Expectations
At Shinmei Industries, we believe that simply "doing something to achieve SDGs" is not enough. Our focus is on providing value that exceeds our customers' expectations through high-quality, low-cost manufacturing. We believe that providing an environment where our employees can devote themselves to manufacturing is the essence of achieving SDGs. We strive to establish ourselves as a manufacturer of the new era by continuing to take on new challenges while embracing the spirit passed down to us by our predecessors during this time of great transformation, which is referred to as a once-in-a-century change.
SDGs, or Sustainable Development Goals, are goals set by 193 member countries of the United Nations to be achieved between 2016 and 2030. The term SDGs stands for "Sustainable Development Goals." To achieve these goals, 17 elements have been established as requirements for success.
SUSTAINABLE ACTION
Initiatives Leading to the Achievement of SDGs
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
In order to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated by production activities.
we are striving to improve production efficiency and reduce operating hours in factories and offices. This includes shortening lead times and minimizing the number of parts used.
We are also aiming to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated during the production of parts and products by minimizing
the number of parts used and reducing the power consumption of production equipment. This helps us reduce production costs while achieving our goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Creating a Supportive Workplace for Employees
Providing Support for Physical Health
We have introduced numerous programs to support the physical health of our employees, such as providing nutritionally balanced meals in our cafeteria, conducting in-house training, and subsidizing cancer screenings. In the near future, cancer screening will be mandatory.
Providing Support for Mental Health
We have established a system that allows employees to easily consult with occupational physicians and public health nurses when they experience physical or mental discomfort or anxiety. In addition, we offer strong support for disease prevention, such as fully subsidizing the secondary examination costs of health checkups.
