ITOKI Ecosystem Initiative toward 2050

Contributing to a society
with zero negative impact
on ecosystems

We have adopted the vision statement "Vibrant People, Vibrant Planet" in order to become a company that contributes to a sustainable society.
Based on this vision statement, we have formulated the ITOKI Ecosystem Initiative toward 2050: Coexistence with Nature to help realize a society with zero negative impact on ecosystems.

3 Linked
Focus Areas

We believe that the three themes of the initiative, climate change response, resource circulation, and sustainable material utilization, are inherently interconnected. Focusing on these as our key areas, we will promote a wide range of business activities that contribute to protecting the global environment.

Eco Level

Environmentally Conscious Standard "Eco Level"

At ITOKI, we have long maintained our own standards to develop products that are kind to both people and the global environment.
As environmental challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and the depletion of natural resources grow more serious every year, we recognize the need to further advance and evolve our approach in order to continue reducing our impact on the global environment.

To support this effort, we have developed a new environmental standard unique to ITOKI called "Eco Level."

"Eco Level" establishes five guidelines that ITOKI upholds for environmental responsibility, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and using fewer materials and promoting recycling.
