SustainabilityEnvironmental Conservation Efforts
Minimization of the environmental impact of waste
In addition to reusing the heat produced when industrial waste generated in the manufacturing process is burned in an incinerator for power generation and hot water heating, we are working to reduce the amount of industrial waste that we generate.
We promote paperless operations, including the digitization of internal documents and the abolition of meeting materials, in order to reduce paper waste.
Promotion of the efficient use of natural resources
To reduce our global environmental load, we promote the introduction of solar power generation at our factories as part of our energy conservation measures.
At Nipro (Thailand) Corporation Limited, we introduced a solar power generation system in 2018 and use the generated power for medical device manufacturing.
Environmental conservation activities with local communities
NIPRO runs the water quality and biological survey of the Okami River along with companies based in the Konan region of Shiga Prefecture.
We participate in clean-up campaigns held around our offices and factories, to help keep local communities clean.
Prevention of water pollution/Conservation of water resources
We have installed dykes to prevent leakage of chemical materials and oils, as well as equipment that shuts drains to prevent such leakage from spreading outside of company facilities.
We conserve water resources by reusing some of the water used in manufacturing processes.
NIPRO runs the water quality and biological survey of the Okami River along with companies based in the Konan region of Shiga Prefecture. With the goal of enlivening the community, we actively interact with people from other companies and industries, as well as local children. We will continue to contribute to the environmental conservation of Biwako, the birthplace of NIPRO.
