ROKI Co., Ltd.: Together with Nature.

Our Global Headquarters was designed in harmony with Nature. Its simple form and positioning were created to blend with the spirited Tenryu River below and the surrounding rolling mountains. We feel this is the perfect symbol of our policy toward preserving the environment.

01Environmental Initiatives

Environmental Declaration  At ROKI Co., Ltd., all employees shall actively promote the effective use of resources, energy, and products to protect the global environment and shall work towards environmental conservation.

Head Office

ROKI Co., Ltd. issued its environmental declaration in 1998. We have established a basic environmental policy and are actively pursuing environmental conservation activities. As a filter specialist, our work in developing eco-friendly automotive parts has been accompanied by a commitment to environmental initiatives that has included countermeasures for pollution control, tighter management of chemical substances, energy conservation, zero emissions, and the conversion to lead- and chrome-free products. We acquired ISO14001 Environmental Management System Certification in March, 2004, and are committed to making further improvements that will involve additional energy savings in plants and sales offices, resource saving measures, reductions in waste and additional pollution controls.

As an example of our efforts, as a corporation, to preserve the environment, we are pursuing an initiative to establish a uniform recycling system. The old uniforms we collect are shredded and can be used as acoustic or heat insulation materials by automobile parts makers or construction companies.

Towands a sustainable society

To grow in the twenty-first century, a company needs to actively tackle environmental issues, to direct its managerial forces towards the environment, society and the economy, and to achieve outstanding results. With this in mind, ROKI Co., Ltd. is pursuing the following initiatives:

1.Energy conservation
  • Increased capacity utilization
  • Management of air-conditioning, lighting and office equipment
  • No vehicle idling
2.Waste reduction
  • 10% reductions in waste annually
  • Increased resin reuse rates
  • Increased waste plastic thermal recycling rates
3.Pollution controls
  • Switch from organic to water-based coating compounds

We consistently aspire for harmony between people and the environment and we will contribute to the creation of an affluent and untroubled society.

03Leading Edge Facilities Help Boost Creativity

In the same way that we strive to be a company which is continually admired for contributing to society, we also endeavor to expand and strengthen both our overseas locations and our domestic facilities.

In 2004, the leading force behind both domestic and overseas production, Hamamatsu Plant, was completed.

Our Global Headquarters, which was designed to inspire intellectual creativity, was completed in 2006; overall management of ROKI Group Companies, both domestic and overseas, is centralized here. In the 19th Nikkei New Office Awards, our Global Headquarters won the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award as the best office in Japan.

As well, in our quest for next-generation engineering, we will build a new Research and Development Center (Completion is scheduled.) which will encompass all the latest technology. With these strong pillars of management, sales and purchasing, research and development, and production, the infrastructure will be in place to satisfy even further all the needs of customers around the world.
