Through Disclosure and Two-way Communication, We Strive to Cooperate with Society and Its Citizens.
|
| To promote activities appropriate for the era, and listening to the voice of society, Takara Shuzo is working to establish two-way communication through the Green-ink Corporate Report, our website and exhibitions. Furthermore, we are pursuing a dialog with society and the public through collaboration with environmental NPOs and cooperation with industry, government and academia. |
| Publishing Social and Environmental Reports |
Takara Shuzo began using its independent Green-Ink indicator in 1998 and has been providing a balance sheet for the global environment under the title of “TaKaRa Green-ink Accounting Report.” Since 2005, the title has been changed to “TaKaRa Green-ink Corporate Report.” The report includes a questionnaire that allows customers to make their voices heard. We use the feedback to guide our environmental activities and in creating our report for the following year. We distributed 12,952 reports in fiscal 2004 and received more than 100 questionnaires in response.
The report was given a score of 82 points by readers. We will make our utmost efforts to come close to the maximum points. |
| Environmental Information Disclosure over the Internet |
The Takara Shuzo environmental website titled “Takara Environmental Activities” was renewed in April 2005 and always discloses information on the latest state of our activities. The environmental education material corner for children and adults include “mori no recycle kobo”(a Forest Recycling Workshop), “yoki recycle no tabi”(a Container Recycling Trip) and “wakariyasui yoki recycle”(Easy Container Recycling For Everyone). The page for the TaKaRa Rice and Sake School is designed to provide comprehensive information to include The Wonders of Rice Paddies, Processes for Producing Sake and a Proper Drinking Habits corners.
Furthermore, we can receive feedback from our customers directly through the customer service page. In fiscal 2004, we received 180 email messages regarding our environmental activities. |
| Participation in the Eco-Products Exhibition |
Since 2002, we have exhibited at Eco Products Expo, Japan’s largest exhibition for introducing environmentally-friendly products. We have provided information on our environmental efforts and extended environmental education programs using an environmental quiz on container recycling. In 2004 as was done in 2003, we implemented a quiz program to introduce Takara Shuzo’s eco products. The program attracted 2,790 participants, more than twice as many participants as the previous year. |
