Heisei Hitec Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Osaka; President: Hirao), which comprehensively handles chemical sales, transportation, and industrial waste treatment consulting, announces the acquisition and renewal of certification under the 'Eco Action 21' environmental management system established by Japan's Ministry of the Environment, further enhancing its efforts to reduce environmental impact.
The company will continue to promote environmental management across the entire organization, focusing on the proper treatment of 'chemical industrial waste' that supports the backbone of manufacturing, aiming to achieve the 2030 SDGs and realize a carbon-neutral society.
Background and Purpose of Eco Action 21 Certification
Eco Action 21 is a certification and registration system based on guidelines established by the Ministry of the Environment, enabling small and medium-sized enterprises to voluntarily and proactively engage in environmental conservation. Since obtaining initial certification in 2020, Heisei Hitec has continuously worked on reducing CO2 emissions, minimizing waste discharge, water conservation, and proper chemical management, fulfilling its social responsibility as a chemical-handling company. This continued certification demonstrates that the company's environmental management system is operating at an exceptionally high standard.
Heisei Hitec's Major Environmental and Social Contribution Activities
In addition to business operations directly reducing environmental impact, the company pursues sustainability through the following multifaceted approaches:
- Renewable Energy Generation (Solar Power)
The company operates a solar power generation business utilizing rooftop space at the Sumiyoshi Vehicle Center. Revenue generated is reinvested into internal energy-saving initiatives, such as switching to LED lighting.
- Urban Heat Island Mitigation and Community Engagement (Rooftop Farm)
The company has greened its headquarters rooftop, cultivating sweet potatoes and other crops. This improves building insulation and reduces energy consumption, while harvest experience events are held during harvest season, inviting local children and serving as an environmental education platform.
- Recycling and International Support (Plastic Bottle Cap Collection)
The company conducts thorough in-house sorting to promote cap recycling. Proceeds from sales are donated to vaccine support organizations, continuing efforts to save children's lives worldwide.
Future Outlook: Advancing ESG Management
Heisei Hitec has received high evaluations not only in environmental (E) aspects but also in social (S) and governance (G) areas, including aiming for 'ESG Mark Certification' by 2025. Moving forward, the company will further advance digital transformation (DX) to achieve paperless operations and build efficient transportation systems, positioning itself as a partner that provides customers with 'the lowest environmental impact treatment solutions,' contributing to a sustainable future.
