Humans must not forget that as long as companies on Earth are engaged in business activities, they always have some impact on the global environment. Takuwa recognizes that efforts to protect the global environment are one of the most important matter in its business management.
In November 2016, the Company acquired the 2015 revised version of ISO 14001 certification, and established an efficient environmental management system in accordance with its regulations, and the system is used for business.
Under the system, the Company has established an “Environmental Policy” in which our environmental declaration, basic philosophy and action guidelines are set out, and the Company is using the PDCA cycle to promote its environmental conservation activities and continuously improve them.
As long as water is abundant and distributed fairly to everyone, there will be no conflicts over water, and people living on earth will be able to have more peace of mind. When people have more peace of mind, they will be considerate and respectful of one another, which will naturally create a society where human rights are respected and people can thrive. That is, a society where people can live in peace is possible with water. A society with an abundance of water will last forever. It is a sustainable world.
In order to create a sustainable world, Takuwa promotes sustainability management, placing the concept of ESG at the heart of its management.
Takuwa wants to know about water. The reason is that all people want to continue living on this beautiful earth.
Currently, there are social problems occurring on a global scale, such as energy shortages due to population explosion, food shortages, and competition for water, minerals, and other resources.
Former Vice President of the World Bank Dr Ismail Serageldin said that
Many of the wars of the 20th century were about oil but wars of the 21st century will be about water.
With global droughts caused by climate change, the world is facing a chronic crisis of “conflicts over water.”
Takuwa is determined to provide solutions to the world that help solve the critical problem of water shortages around the world.
Takuwa has grown, helping solve social issues, based on its philosophy of knowing water and returning to an altruistic relationship with water. The desire to “solve social issues” has remained unchanged since Takwa was founded.
With an abundance of water, a fair society without conflict can be created. It leads to a society where people can live in peace, where nature and human rights are respected, where diverse people can live and work together, and where people can live in peace.
In order to achieve the virtuous sequence, Takuwa is striving to create value through its contribution to a sustainable society, engage in responsible business activities, and promote the success of its employees, based on the philosophy of “knowing water and living in harmony with water”.
The mission of Takuwa is to continue to actively contribute to the world as a leader in solving social issues, carrying on the spirit of our founding.
By implementing products and systems developed based on knowledge of water into society, Takuwa conserves the global environment, solves social problems, returns positive results to society, runs business properly and demonstrates its maximum performance to make water constantly circulate water and ultimately create a sustainable world where people can live their lives with peace of mind and coexist with water.
Just as the four great civilizations were born near great rivers, water provides people with the basic necessities of life - food, clothing and shelter - and keeps them stable. As stable lives continue, civilizations are born and cultures flourish.
Takuwa believes that the theory of the Greek philosopher Thales, who rationally asserted from a scientific approach that “the origin of all things is water,” is reasonable.
The source of the richness of all things is “water”. Without water, there would be no world for humanity to live in, and no way for humanity to develop. That is why, in order to protect water and make it available, Takuwa first protects the environment.
Communities in which people live, regardless of their size, are societies, and water creates societies. Water is naturally essential for people's lives. Therefore, when a problem occurs in a society, and if the problem is not solved, water will disappear from the society and the society itself will disappear. So what is the entity that solves social problems? One of fundamental entities for human activity in society is companies. Without water, companies cannot keep on doing business activities, no matter how grand their goals may be, and naturally they will not be able to work towards their goals. Think back to the Industrial Revolution. Water is the source of business activities that support society.
That is why, in order to survive, companies continue to engage in activities that have social value, solve social problems, and strive to maintain and develop the society that is the foundation on which they can exist. Takuwa is dedicated to the development of society and enriching people's lives, thereby growing itself and maintaining the sustainability of its business.
In order for a company to be recognized for its significance in the world, it should not take a self-righteous stance of setting and judging its own indicators and evaluations, but should humbly and actively accept opinions of external and third parties.
At Takuwa, which does not accept a selfish mindset like “I'm fine as long as I'm fine” or “I don't care about other people,” the altruistic mindset is fundamental. Aiming to create a sustainable world, Takuwa's Board of Directors, which is made up of directors from inside and outside the company, oversees the Company's business from a variety of perspectives and is involved in the decision-making process to ensure that the Company is tackling environmental and social issues with a "spirit of altruism," a key aspect of our approach.
With the goal of “creating a sustainable world”, the Company has shifted focus to ESG-oriented management. In line with the shift, the Company established the ESG Committee in 2024, chaired by the President, to strengthen efforts for the materialities.
The Committee determines the basic policy for Takuwa's ESG management, examines gaps between business plans and management policies and it, and promotes next actions and efforts for the materialities and other social issues, and makes reports and recommendations to the Board of Directors.
In order to promote Takuwa's ESG management across the Company, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, the chairman (President) works with the three departments placed under the President's Office (Business Promotion Center, Technology Information Management Office, and Safety and Health Promotion Office), the Marketing Control Center, Technology Administration Center, New Technology Development Center, ISO Secretariat, and General Affairs Department to set ESG-related goals and objectives, create a scheme for monitoring the progress to the goals and objectives, and make reports and evaluations regularly for ESG management.
