바카라 추천 (Key Sustainability Issues)
Improving Efficiency 바카라 추천 Water Resource Use

Policy and Basic Approach

Water risks can be broadly divided into two categories: the physical risks constituted by the effects 바카라 추천 drought, flooding and pollution, and the regulatory risks stemming from tougher water quality standards, revisions to water and sewage rates, and cessation 바카라 추천 industrial water supplies necessitating switchovers to potable water. As water is a precious resource in limited supply, its conservation is a key global sustainability issue.
The Nippon Kayaku Group manufactures products in 12 countries and regions across the globe, with water resources especially indispensable to business operations in the making 바카라 추천 chemical products. We therefore pay heed to water conservation at all locations 바카라 추천 Group activity, and try to make sure that no water we use is wasted.

Responding to Environmental Regulations

We have tied up various agreements between our business bases and relevant local authorities and regions. While observing our multiple environmental agreements and working on reducing environmental burdens, we also contribute to the safety and security 바카라 추천 the local community. FY2023 saw zero violations or fines issued with respect to water quality or excessive use.

Grasping Locations 바카라 추천 Water-stressed Regions

In order to grasp the risks involved with the use 바카라 추천 water resources and respond to these risks more effectively, the Nippon Kayaku Group has used the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas to investigate the water stress conditions 바카라 추천 its plant locations. As 바카라 추천 end-March 2024, we were able to confirm that no plant using water for manufacturing operations is located in a high water-stress area (which, in Aqueduct terms, is the level above medium-high). For Kayaku Safety Systems (Huzhou), located in a comparatively highly-stressed area (medium-high), we have drawn up plans for periodical Core Environment, Safety and Health Checks, and are currently confirming whether water resources are being appropriately managed. From now, we will roll out such confirmatory checks to all plants in high water-stress areas, and proceed with the finalizing 바카라 추천 our future water reduction plan.

Fukuyama Plant
Initiatives Aimed at Reducing Water Use

At the Fukuyama Plant, wastewater emanating from the dye production process is treated onsite, then released into the Seto Inland Sea. The plant has been producing inkjet printer dyes since the year 2000, and has consequently invested effort into improving wastewater treatment methods, looking into individual processes tailored to production type and examining numerous ways 바카라 추천 altering production processes to lower environmental burdens.
The fruits 바카라 추천 such activities can be seen in the form 바카라 추천 phased reductions in contracted industrial water amounts, which fell from 24,000m³ to 23,000m³ per day in FY2015, and to 22,000 m³ per day in FY2018. Thanks to further polishing 바카라 추천 its wastewater treatment methods, the plant is now able to produce more on the same amounts 바카라 추천 industrial water. It is also working on reducing the amounts 바카라 추천 regular water used both production and equipment cleaning.

Kayaku Safety Systems Europe
Introduction 바카라 추천 Rainwater-utilizing Equipment

Kayaku Safety Systems Europe (KSE)’s capital investment activities aimed at promoting environmental protection include a water storage tank system to make effective use 바카라 추천 rainwater. The system was introduced in 2017, and had a tank capacity 바카라 추천 750.5m³ by FY2020. By using both rainwater and the water released by the shop floor air conditioning system for purposes other than drinking, the plant has not only achieved more efficient use 바카라 추천 water resources but also lowered its costs.
Water reuse is currently 바카라 추천 pivotal importance to the Czech Republic, which has seen rainfall decrease under the impact 바카라 추천 climate change. The amount 바카라 추천 water that KSE has stored up post-FY2020 exceeds the annual drinking amounts 바카라 추천 all KSE employees and their families (around 4000 people). This particular project therefore marks a contribution towards a sustainable society.

Kayaku Safety Systems Mexico
Initiatives Aimed at Reducing Water Use

As part 바카라 추천 its commitment to environmental conservation, Kayaku Safety Systems Mexico (KSM) has embarked upon improving its use 바카라 추천 water resources to help resolve issues concerning limited usable water in the surrounding region. KSM mainly uses water for cleaning equipment and containers, and for manufacturing processes.
Improvement activities have involved raising standards for the production process and water treatment, and providing education to make employees more water-resource conscious. KSM’s activities throughout FY2023 resulted in a 27% (2970-liter) reduction in use 바카라 추천 water resources.
