Initiatives for SDGs

SDGs

What are Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

As a successor to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) established in 2001,
It is an international goal aiming for a sustainable and better world by 2015, which is stated in the “9 Agenda for Sustainable Development” adopted by the United Nations Summit in September 2030.

Composed of 17 goals and 169 targets, we vow to "leave no one behind" on the planet.

A blueprint for a better and more sustainable future for all.
We aim to solve global issues we face, such as poverty and inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, prosperity, peace and justice.

The goals of the SDGs are interrelated.It is important to achieve each goal / target by 2030 so that no one is left behind.

 

Our company has been reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the details of our SDGs initiatives.

Initiatives for support activities

Co-sponsoring activities for events hosted by the United Nations WFP Association

At Daio Seisakusho WFP World Food Program Of School lunch supportIn order to promote this, we are carrying out support activities by providing goods and co-sponsoring events hosted by the United Nations WFP Association, which is the official support window in Japan.

The World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations' only food aid agency with the mission of eliminating hunger. It provides school meals to children around the world who are unable to eat nutritious meals and are suffering from stunted growth, as well as the many children who cannot attend school due to poverty.

We will continue to cooperate with charity events that lead to support sponsored by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), and contribute to activities to eradicate hunger under Target 2.1.


Sponsoring the FIT Charity Run

FIT Charity Run (Financial Industry in Tokyo For Charity Run)is an organization that contributes to society through donations to organizations that are rooted in the community and have socially meaningful activities, but have not secured sufficient funds for their activities due to problems such as recognition.

We also strive to contribute to society by providing more people in the industry with opportunities to support local action groups and by encouraging them to participate in charity events and community action groups.

The collected donations are donated to non-profit organizations that support learning environments for children with difficulties and support children's homes.

Daio Seisakusho also aims to cooperate with local organizations and grow together in order to build a better society.

Initiatives for career learning support activities

At Daio Seisakusho, in order to promote the career education of students, by actually visiting the workplace and getting in touch with our knowledge, techniques and skills, we will utilize a wide range of information such as the significance and role of working, and self I am working with the hope that it will give me an opportunity to choose my career path and way of life.

Specifically, you can explain what kind of activities you are doing with the efforts of the SDGs of Daio Seisakusho, and see and experience the actual manufacturing site to see how the product will be completed.

In addition, regarding quality control, which is one of our strengths, you can learn about environmental problems and responsibilities to create from the explanation of substances that affect the human body and the environment, which are called harmful substances, from the analysis results by actually operating the inspection equipment. ..

I feel that conducting career learning support activities will lead to awareness and new discoveries by communicating with students who have a wide range of values.

Working on ISO14001

We aim to provide environmentally friendly products that are mindful of the global environment, not only through the 3R activities of (1) reduce, (2) reuse, and (3) recycle, based on the Fundamental Law for Promoting the Creation of a Recycling-Based Society, but also through proactively using environmentally friendly materials and creating a system that prevents the production of defective products to avoid wasting resources.

Daioh Seisakusho's Environmental Management System (Thinking about the environment means thinking about quality) When we think of the environment, what generally comes to mind is familiar things like reducing resources (such as copy paper) and saving energy, but Daioh Seisakusho is most focused on creating a system that prevents the production of defective products.

Disposing of defective products wastes the resources of the defective products themselves, and doubles the environmental burden of recreating them.

In other words, environmentally conscious activities also lead to quality.We want to reduce the environmental load by improving quality.

what we can do

If we can always have the sense of "Mottainai" (not to waste), we can carry out activities that lead to environmental conservation. In the end, it's all about people. The feeling of "Mottainai" leads to cost reduction, which can ultimately be passed on to customers.

At Daioh Manufacturing, we pay attention to raising awareness on a daily basis, clean up every day as a team with all employees to discover small instances of "waste," get together to take in-house training, and discuss environmental issues in a bright and fun way.

Aiming to be an eco-style company

Familiar activity "recycling" that everyone is doing. However, I think that there are things we can do closer to when we consider the energy that goes into "recycling." That is to continue to use it for a long time.

Daioh Manufacturing is developing eco-designs that are conscious of extending product life, and is focusing on parts, which are one of the main products. In addition to the traditional 3Rs, we would like to introduce and promote "still usable" repair methods and support users who practice eco-style.

In response to Target 12.5, "We will significantly reduce waste generation by preventing, reducing, recycling and reusing waste.", We will reduce waste by implementing ISO9001 quality control and ISO14001 environmental goals. To proceed.

Environmental safety

Our approach to harmful substances

Friendly to people and nature-Lead-free/CPSC/EN71 compliant/RoHS
Information such as MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) related to the products we handle and inspection results of hazardous substances that comply with regulations such as RoHS, CPSC, and EN71 are released at any time.

Daioh Seisakusho is actively promoting the shift to lead-free products, but in 2006, we experienced an incident in which lead was found in parts imported from a factory in China as lead-free products (although the parts had passed the preliminary inspection at the time the imports began). As a result, in order to strengthen the acceptance inspections at the time of each import and pre-shipment inspection, we purchased and installed our own fluorescent X-ray analyzer and conduct sampling inspections as necessary to ensure quality assurance.

In addition, we have a system in place to report the content inspection results using an X-ray fluorescence analyzer for the six RoHS regulated substances including lead on the same day in response to customer requests.

In our activities to minimize the adverse effects on human health and the environment of Target 12.4, we will promote the following lead-free and nickel-free specifications with the goal of changing the specifications by XNUMX% per year.

Regarding the problem of lead contained in our metal accessories

A series of reports about the problem of high levels of lead in metal accessories give the impression that lead is mostly found in imported products, especially those made in China, and cheap products for children, but in reality it depends on how they are made.

However, due to revisions to the Food Sanitation Act, only "toys used as accessories by infants" that may be harmful to the health of infants and young children if they come into contact with them are now subject to regulation for items manufactured or imported after October 20, 10.Unfortunately, awareness of lead is still lacking among manufacturers, sellers, and consumers, and even in Japan, metal products that use materials and manufacturing methods that contain a lot of lead are still widely manufactured and distributed, and this is not limited to metal accessories for children.

We will take this opportunity to change our perception of lead, strive to understand the lead content of products, and raise awareness of the lead content of these products and how to handle them. At the same time, we will continue to develop manufacturing methods and products aimed at lead-free products, regardless of whether they are subject to regulation or not.

Measures against nickel allergy

In recent years, the number of people complaining of metal allergy symptoms has been increasing, so we have listed countermeasures and warnings for nickel, which is the leading cause of metal allergies. Daioh Seisakusho has traditionally handled many metal products, but in recent years, the number of people complaining of metal allergy symptoms has been increasing, so we would like to create products that are as kind to people as possible by actively promoting nickel-free products, which is one of the causes of metal allergies.

What kind of metal can cause metal allergy (allergic contact dermatitis)?

It depends on whether the metal is weak against sweat = acid and easily dissolved. Nickel is generally said to be the number one cause of metal allergies (allergic contact dermatitis). One reason is that nickel is weak against acid, and the chloride ions in sweat have a strong effect of dissolving nickel. Another reason is that nickel itself is often included in the base (material itself) of industrial products or used on the surface (plating, etc.). Our products also have nickel plating on shiny silver key chains and mobile phone strap parts. There are often people who say they are allergic to gold (K18) or silver (SV925), but in that case, it is rare for them to be allergic to gold or silver, and it is highly likely that the secondary materials added for industrial reasons, such as to increase workability and hardness, contain metals that may cause metal allergies. Of course, there are also people who have a constitution that causes metal allergies even to gold and silver, so please be careful.

Responding to the marine plastic problem 

We would like to actively switch from conventional petroleum-derived plastic products to plant-derived plastics made from natural materials such as corn.

Biodegradable plastics are environmentally friendly materials that are broken down into water and CO2 by microorganisms in soil and water. Even if they end up in the ocean, they will not remain in the water.

Currently, using PLA (polylactic acid), which is a biomass (plant-derived) plastic,Netsuke stringWe have already commercialized the above. We are currently working on prototypes of shoe horns, security whistles, business card cases, plastic bottle openers, paperclips, and more.

We are also promoting commercialization by adopting various environment-friendly biomass materials such as MAPKA and cellulose nanofibers.

Replacing conventional petroleum-based plastics with biodegradable plastics will help solve the marine plastic problem.

At Ishikawa Prefectural Noto High School, students who focused on the problem of marine debris during the "Comprehensive Exploration Time" created fish-shaped accessories to raise awareness of the existence of bioplastics.
It seems that this accessory, which was involved from ideation to completion, was molded with a XNUMXD printer using bioplastic filament.
In order to use the biomass fish as a key chain, we have provided a netsuke string made of polylactic acid.

Carbon neutral

In order to mitigate the effects of climate change and as an activity to contribute to carbon neutrality in 2050, we will change the resin-based products that we produce and sell as our standard products to biomass materials that emit less CO2. ..

We will continue to use MAPKA and thinned wood as alternative materials.

First of all, we will use our popular products for acrylic smartphone stands, coasters, and polystyrene multi-tray materials.MAPWe will commercialize it with the changed product and proceed with proposals to customers.

MAP TheEnvironmental Management Research Institute Co., Ltd.It is a material developed by the company, and it is a biomass material that contains 50% or more of paper powder, and the biomass [50] mark can be displayed.It is also a material that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 35% compared to plastic made from petroleum.

In response to the climate change countermeasures of Target 13.2, we will promote the sale of the above three products by changing 10% annually to COXNUMX reduction materials.

In addition, we will cooperate in the prevention of global warming by providing environmentally friendly alternative products.

In addition, we are managing demand by visualizing the amount of electricity used every day and setting the upper limit of the amount used.Initially, we were engaged in energy-saving activities with the aim of reducing electricity costs, but we have also set targets from the perspective of reducing COXNUMX, and are managing demand with the goal of reducing usage by XNUMX% or less in the previous year.

As a paperless activity, we are promoting the digitization of quotations and invoices to customers and switching to email delivery.

Animal protection/protection

The production of fur involves the sacrifice of animal life.
Fur products are produced by peeling off the skin, rather than cutting only the hair like wool.

These animals are sourced by capture and rearing, but by any means their cruelty has led to widespread movement against fur in the world.

However, recently, the epidemics of genuine animal fur have been expanding once again due to improvements in some breeding conditions.

Although we are not a company that strictly advocates for animal welfare and protection, we believe that it should not be an excessive supply in terms of the value of life and protection of the natural environment.

For example, for one-season fashion and small accessories such as bonbons, the fake fur "=Faux FurWe will cooperate by providing alternative products so that you can choose "

We do not currently handle real fur.Made of polyesterFaux fur (eco fur)Is in stock and sold.

Daio Seisakusho will continue to promote fur-free initiatives with an awareness of ethical consumption without using real fur.

New ways of working and risk management

Diverse working styles

In order to feel "motivated to work" and to achieve economic growth, we are currently promoting work style reforms using the Tokyo Metropolitan Government TOKYO Work Style Reform Declaration Incentive.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Olympic and Paralympic Preparation Bureau's aim is to provide safe and smooth transportation services during the Tokyo Olympic Games while also ensuring the stability of urban and economic activities.2020 TDM promotion projectIn addition to participating in the initiative, we have promoted staggered work hours and working from home as a COVID-19 infection prevention measure, and have divided the working hours into four stages.
As for working from home, we are systematically working from home about two days a week.

While what makes a job rewarding varies from person to person, we hope that by proactively adopting diverse working styles, including staggered work hours, working from home, and promoting paid vacation and childcare leave, we can create an environment that suits each individual's work style and ultimately lead to increased productivity.

Risk management

We recognize the importance of risk management in order to achieve sustainable growth and fulfill our social responsibilities, and have implemented a business continuity plan (BCP).
In particular, we have developed business continuity plans to prepare for unforeseen circumstances such as earthquakes and infectious diseases.

We will also continue to consider anticipated risks and make ongoing reviews and improvements.
This will minimize the risk of business interruptions and put in place a system that will enable businesses to resume operations quickly.
