In this era efforts must be made across industries and positions to achieve humanity’s common goal of carbon neutrality. As a leader in the resource recycling business, the ENVIPRO Group aims to contribute to create a sustainable society. In
doing so, we strive to evolve beyond conventional boundaries. The collection and resource recovery of waste materials go beyond just reducing environmental impact. By circulating recycled resources, we aim to generate new manufacturing and revitalize local communities, ultimately
bringing joy to all stakeholders. The ENVIPRO Group is committed to being a driving force that drives this cycle of joy in the circular economy, looking
into
the future as we take on new challenges. In the interest of “Make a circle of joy,” we aim to bring smiles to the faces of all as we work together toward a
society of
sustainability and abundance.
The Value Creation Process
Based on the corporate philosophy and mission of the Group, the ENVIPRO Group organizes the relationship
between business activities and social issues, and identifies materialities as a leading company in the
circular economy. Through the Group's value creation process, we will continue to provide sustainable value
to our stakeholders and achieve our mission statement and sustainable growth.
Based on the strategic concept to "Lead a circular economy", we have classified our strategies into two categories: CE
supporting
manufacturing and CE supporting local communities. We are promoting our business with the aim of realizing many concrete
examples of CE ahead of other companies. CE aims to provide another value for materials that were once discarded. Our
group’s Resource Circulation Business offers social value to consumers by giving them the opportunity to choose
eco-friendly products. It creates new resource value for disused primary materials. Therefore, our group believes that
we can play a crucial role in CE, performing the function of an engine for resource circulation. Focusing on the reuse, recycling and remanufacturing of materials, we will promote the finest technologies for resource
circulation across supply chains, and the development of collaboration systems of forward and reverse logistics through
partnerships with manufacturers.
In order to promote the circular economy, the Envipro Group has set a target to improve the resource recovery rate. As a company responsible for resource recycling, we recognize all waste as unused resources and aim to achieve the
ultimate zero waste society. We will pursue “mottainai” to achieve our goal.
Our group have established the environmental policy and will act accordingly,
placing importance on harmony with the natural environment and coexistence with the local community, with the mission of
“Contribute to create a sustainable society”, and under the concept of “Lead a circular economy”.
We aim to achieve effectively zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from all its businesses
by 2050, including the processing and recycling of scrap and waste handled by the Group.
In July 2018, we became the first company in the world from the recycling industry to join RE100, and we have set a goal
of 100% renewable energy by 2030 for the electricity consumed in our operations.
In May 2019, the Group announced its endorsement of the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD). Please refer to the PDF file for the disclosure of information in line with the TCFD recommendations for our group.
