Involvement in New Energy
We consider our commitment to new energy solutions a core element of our
corporate social responsibility to creating a sustainable society. One
of these efforts involves the use of fuel cells that produce hydrogen from
LP gas and kerosene. In looking to bring this product to market, we hold
regular research seminars and collect the latest information from this
sector. |
 |
| We are also examining the use of plastic - in the form of discarded plastic
containers that make up regular urban waste - to transform this into a
source of oil. This involves a joint operation with a large scale recycling
plant in Sapporo - operated by Sapporo Plastic Recycle Corporation - and
we are currently selling the resultant oil to paper manufacturing companies
etc. |

Nursing Services
As Japan continues its transition to an increasingly aging society we are engaged in providing a range of rehabilitation services, such as preventative care and self-support for the elderly. Part of this involves collaborating with an elderly-care rehabilitation research center that is producing excellent work in the three areas of implementation, education, and research in this field. |
 |
| In addition to the commencement of leasing operations of a rehabilitation facility in Yamagata Prefecture, we are also involved in providing a range of nursing equipment and healthcare products. |
