TBK Co., Ltd.

In recent years, environmental concerns have mounted, in line with ongoing global warming, unseasonable weather throughout the world, rising sea levels and various other negative indicators.

The TBK Group is committed to preserving the environment in its manufacturing and related activities and is constructing production systems with global environmental concerns in mind. For this reason, the TBK Group and its factories are expanding their activities through the application of the ISO14001 environmental management system.

Under the TBK Group Environmental Policy, we are working to reduce our impact on the environment, improve our energy consumption efficiency and dramatically decrease our final waste ratio.

The TBK Group aims to achieve socially sustainable development. While continuing to expand our operations, we recognize our responsibility to preserve the environment.

While providing our customers with products they require, we will strive for harmony with the environment by focusing on environmental activities as we maintain the high level of public regard that we enjoy as a corporate group.
