The Powdertech Group is committed to ESG-oriented management in our business practices in pursuit of societal sustainability.

Regarding the environment (E), we pursue sustainability through practices grounded in ISO 14001 certification and guided by our Environmental Policy. Our Energy Conservation Promotion Committee, chaired by the Representative Director and President, reviews our energy-saving measures and decarbonization efforts monthly and reports the results at meetings.

With respect to social (S) and governance (G) aspects, we focus on human rights, health and safety, and human resource development through ISO 45001 and ISO 9001 certifications, guided by our Code of Conduct, CSR Policy, Occupational Health and Safety Policy, and Quality Policy.

In April 2022, for internal structure, we established the ESG Sustainability Office to oversee risk management. Our Medium-Term Business Plan, a three-year plan that went into effect in FY2022, outlines key strategies and provides metrics and targets, enhanced by regular progress updates.
