What is “Green-Ink”?
As the results of economic activities are expressed in black ink or red ink, we decided, in 1998, to express the results of environmental activities in “green-ink,” a term that conveys an image of green, representing the environment. In the years to come we will make this accounting serve as an indicator not only of our environmental activities, but also of our efforts to be a good company for all stakeholders including customers, business partners, employees, society, and also for the Earth.
What is “Green-Ink” Accounting?
In “Green-Ink” Accounting, important categories that indicate Takara Shuzo’s environmental impact and efforts and social activities are included. The degree of improvement in these categories is expressed as an integrated indicator called ECO. The reason why we express the results of our activities with this single indicator is to show whether the results of individual activities with different degrees of importance, and expressed in different units, were beneficial or detrimental to the environment, in an easy-to-understand manner. |
