Environmental Efforts

Suncall strives for harmony with people, the environment, and the community
As a member of the global community, Suncall is dedicated to the creation of technology-intensive precision products, within a framework of esteem for humanity and priority given to the public good. Throughout, we stress the protection of nature and environment, while treasuring valuable resources and contributing to the global environment. With our roots set firmly in this fundamental concept, we promote corporate activities in harmony with the people, the environment, and the community. We are promoting green planting on factory premises.

We are promoting green planting on factory premises.

As a part of taking care of the environment, green spaces are made on the roof and the surrounding area of NTC to control the urban heat island phenomenon. We also hope these spaces will make not only our employees, but also our customers and the local residents aware of environmental issues by feeling close to nature through contact with these green spaces.

Environmental management measures

In recent years, businesses have been increasingly required to adapt to not only improvements and increased complexity of technology, products and services, but also environment considerations, through the adoption of business practices that include sustainable resources conservation and recycling. Suncall is moving ahead with environmental activities that target independent objectives. These are, “ongoing improvement of the environment and prevention of pollution by implementing an environmental management system,” “ensuring strict adherence to environmental laws, regulations and agreements,” “setting and working towards goals and targets for reduction of waste, conservation of energy and resources,” and more. Accordingly, the main Suncall plant, in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City, acquired ISO 14001 certification on August 1999. Furthermore, all other Suncall establishments received the same certification in Novenber 2000. The entire corporation is involved in environmental measures.
* Kyoto City recognizes and certifies large-scale offices that proactively work on recycling and reducing business waste as “Excellent offices that reduce waste and follow 3R activities.”

Suncall adopts the world’s first lead-free heat treatment line

Considering the operators’ health and the environment, Suncall pioneered the development of a lead-free heat treatment line that uses sand instead of lead to manufacture materials for automotive valve springs. This both eliminated contamination and reduced waste.

Suncall introduced a solar power generation system (40 kW)

As part of our efforts to control power peaks and combat global warming, we have introduced a solar power generation system (40 kW) at our subsidiary, Suncall Engineering Corporation.

Our ISO 14001 Certification

To implement organizational efforts for environmental conservation, Suncall has earned ISO 14001 certification, an international standard for environmental management systems.
