Environmental Initiatives

E-01

Environmental Management

Kataken Seiko has established an environmental policy and operates an environmental management system based on ISO 14001. We comply with laws and regulations and continuously improve the environmental performance of our business activities. The full text of our environmental policy is available on the Operating Policy page.

E-02

Resource- and Energy-Saving Manufacturing

What sets Kataken Seiko apart is that environmental considerations are built into our production technology itself.

In high-volume stamping, the portion of material that does not become product is discarded. Kataken Seiko has worked to develop production systems that improve material yield (the proportion of material that becomes product). Less material waste means lower resource consumption and less scrap to dispose of. At the same time, it lowers our customers' material costs.

Reducing environmental impact and improving competitiveness can be pursued as one and the same effort. This is the foundation of sustainability at Kataken Seiko.

E-03

Chemical Substance Management

Kataken Seiko properly manages the chemical substances contained in its products. For new and modified parts, we check in advance that they contain no prohibited chemical substances. We are also working to comply with environmental regulations in each country.
