Reduction of energy consumption

Reduction of energy consumption

Our Yokohama Plant has acquired environmental ISO 14001 certification and is promoting energy-saving as part of our environmental considerations.
This plant is saving electricity by switching to LED lighting that consumes less power for lighting used in the plant, and by installing motion sensors.
The plant is also striving to save energy by introducing energy-efficient equipment at production sites.

Utilization of clean energy

Introduction of renewable energy

Solar panels are installed on the roof of South Building No. 3 of the Yokohama Factory, and approximately 4.5 MWh of electricity is used annually for plant operation.

Disaster countermeasure equipment by TATSUNO

Disaster-response service station and
disaster prevention equipment

The fuel supply facilities are designed to be earthquake-proof and fire-resistant and play an important role in supporting lifelines even in the event of an earthquake.
Tatsuno not only undertakes the construction and maintenance of robust and safe fuel supply facilities, but also provides equipment such as emergency generators and battery dispensing pumps to continuously supply fuel in the event of a disaster, thereby contributing to the creation of fueling stations that will serve as disaster response bases in the region.

Many disaster preventing devices, such as our emergency battery “Rescue Charger” and portable kerosene-fueled cooking unit “Rescue Kitchen”, are installed in places other than gas stations, such as schools and office buildings, contributing to the development of disaster-resistant communities.

Reduction of environmental load by IT

Utilization of digital technology

Tatsuno is promoting paperless operations through digitalization as part of our efforts to improve operational efficiency and environmental conservation.
We have reduced our paper consumption by switching from paper media to e-commerce for contracts and other transactions.
At our manufacturing sites, we are also working to reduce the amount of paper resources by changing checklists and other documents to data entry on tablets.

In addition, we are building a comfortable work environment that allows employees to telework by promoting data sharing in our daily operations and by going paperless with our circular notices and materials.

In the future, we will develop data sharing systems to further improve operational efficiency.
Tatsuno strives to create a company that is environmentally friendly and easy to work at by actively incorporating digital technology.

Promotion of diverse work styles

Creating comfortable workplace

[Encouragement to take
consecutive days off]
Our employees are granted 12 days of annual paid leave from the time they join the company.
In addition, Tatsuno has an annual paid vacation system that encourages employees to take three consecutive days off every six months.
This system is used for self-development activities such as travel and qualification acquisition as taking a long vacation combined with holidays is easy.

[Encouragement to take parental leave
and nursing care leave]
Under the normal parental leave and nursing care leave systems, there is no pay during the leave period (benefits are paid by employment insurance), but Tatsuno provides a salary for the 31 days off.
We encourage all of our male and female employees to take parental leave and nursing care leave by supporting their income.

[Recruitment of foreigners]
Having a global recruitment policy regardless of gender or nationality, Tatsuno currently has many employees of different nationalities working at the company.
As part of our consideration for diverse cultures and customs, the Yokohama Factory has a prayer room, which is freely available for everyone to use.
