We have created and operated a database called "ECOLOG" that aggregates environmental information on our intracompany network..Through "ECOLOG", we share and utilize various environmental information.
Environmental Communication
Mabuchi provides wide - ranging information on its environmental policy and environmental management activities to parties both inside and outside the company.
We hope our customers and people at large in addition to our employees will have a deeper understanding of our approach to environmental conservation and related activities through our environmental communication.
Environmental Communication with Employees
Communication via Intranet
Communication by Company Newsletters
We are using company newsletters to communicate environmental information to our employees and raise their environmental awareness.
Mabuchi Group Environmental Activities
"Mabuchi Group Environmental Activities" is an initiative in which activity measures and achievements that contribute to the reduction of environmental impact are solicited from all Mabuchi Group sites, and outstanding activities are awarded after review by the Environmental Management Committee at the Headquarters.
In 2022, a total of 89 applications were received from 15 sites under the activity theme of "CO2 emissions reduction," and various measures were implemented. We will continue to expand our contribution to the global environment through Mabuchi Group environmental activities by promoting the proposal and implementation of measures to reduce environmental impact at each Mabuchi Group site.
Examples of Poland Mabuchi's activities
In order to reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling by efficiently using outside air temperatures in the ventilation units that supply air to the main production area, Poland Mabuchi has introduced a circulating-type ventilation system that operates according to the outside air temperature and the temperature inside the production area, thereby reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 414 tons per year.
Initiatives to Preserve Biodiversity
Environmental symbiosis in the community
A “bio-garden” has been established in the front of the Headquarters site based on the concept of environmental symbiosis in the community. It is designed to restore the natural environment of Matsudo-city, where the Headquarters is located, to the Matsuhidai Industrial Park. Considering the impact of non-native species on the local ecosystem, the goal of the biogarden is to restore the original ecosystem by planting wildflowers that have traditionally grown around Matsudo-city.
Moreover, we have implemented rooftop greening, which is said to effectively help mitigate urban heat island effects, and have created a garden on the roof of our headquarters. It is also a place for employees to communicate with each other during breaks.
From 2024, we will collaborate with the Nature Conservation Society of Japan, of which we are now a member, to further promote biodiversityrelated activities.
TOPICS
- Growing Himekomatsu, an endangered species designated by Chiba Prefecture.
- Exterminated a non-native species (tall goldenrod) to maintain the bio-garden.
- Biodiversity Chiba Network’s activities: Satellite for Biodiversity remodeled.
The Satellite for Biodiversity is placed in the Headquarters cafeteria for displaying posters and newsletters to enable employees and visitors to deepen their understanding about the importance of biodiversity.
