(Environmentally Friendly Products)
Basic ApproachBack to Top
In order to increase corporate value and realize a sustainable society, the TOPPAN Group is promoting sustainability management to realize its vision of becoming “A leading provider of solutions for social issues worldwide through DX and SX.”
The TOPPAN Group Declaration on the Global Environment, the basic philosophy of the TOPPAN Group for global environmental conservation, stipulates that "3. With foresight, we promote the development and widespread use of products that show consideration for the environment, and contribute to the environmental activities of customers." Based on this declaration, we are working on environmentally friendly product design.
Standards for Environmentally Friendly ProductsBack to Top
The TOPPAN Group has established standards based on two points: “Environmentally Friendly Throughout the Product Life Cycle (material procurement, production, transportation, use, disposal and recycling)" and “Certification of Environmental Friendliness."
The following points are taken into consideration in the standard for Environmentally Friendly Throughout the Product Life Cycle:
- ・
- Reduction of hazardous substances
- ・
- Procurement of raw materials leading to sustainable use of resources
- ・
- Reduction of energy consumption in production
- ・
- Use of renewable energy
- ・
- Water consumption
- ・
- Reduction of waste emissions
- ・
- Improvement of transport efficiency
- ・
- Reducing environmental impact and extending product life during use
- ・
- Consideration of reusability and recyclability at the disposal and recycling stages
In the area of Certification of Environmental Friendliness, we are also working to appeal to consumers through our products by using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and labeling based on third party certification.
