Preventing damage to neighbors
In order to investigate the impact of our plants’ production activities on the neighboring environment, we conduct various environmental measurements, including water quality, report measurement data, receive inspections by administrative bodies, and store management data under the Basic Environmental Law, striving to comply with the standard values. Outside professional organizations regularly measure the items below, among others.
Odor (odor index) measurements
Noise measurements
Boiler smoke measurements
Analysis of effluent quality
These are measured by using sampling from discharge points and at the plant site boundaries.
Measurements are also taken at night to meet different regulatory standards during the day and night. We also conduct annual fire drills at our plants to ensure that we are prepared to respond in an emergency. Further, we maintain connections with government agencies, such as by collaborating with each jurisdiction's fire department to promote information about drill plans.
Social actions
Our corporate social responsibility is to communicate with local communities and support their development under our management philosophy, "We value technological expertise, creativity, and proactive communication to enhance the quality of life and foster a sense of safety for everyone in society." Our policy is to contribute to regional revitalization through local job creation and procurement and to support an environment where local people can live with a sense of security. We promote activities based on the three themes that support “nurturing the next generation,” “the coexistence with environment,” and “safety and security.”
Management structure
The Human Resources & General Affairs Department of each business site of our corporate group leads communication with the communities surrounding the plant. The department organizes regular school visits, plant tours, and other activities.
Participation in Sainokuni Open Factory
We participate in the "Sainokuni Open Factory," an event held in Saitama City, which aims to develop various industries and revitalize businesses. We gave a "Real Factory Tour" to show our plant manufacturing process and service mechanism to the local community and neighboring companies. Visitors observed the manufacturing process of our composite products, which combined rubber with various materials.
Blood donation activities
Each year, Red Cross blood centers visit our plants to encourage employee participation in blood donation. In addition to contributing to society, this activity increases employees' awareness that their cooperation can save someone's life.
Tohoku Junior Cup
Since 2023, we have been holding the Fujikura Tohoku Junior Cup, a golf tournament for junior players living in Hokkaido and the Tohoku region, at Kashima Country Club in Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture, where our golf shaft production plant is located.
The first tournament in 2023 was organized as a commemorative project marking the 50th anniversary of our shaft business, to revitalize the Tohoku region and foster the next generation of golfers.
We will continue our community-based activities in the future.
Beautification activities around our plants
We are actively engaged in beautification activities around our plants. These activities can raise our employees’ awareness of environmental conservation and contribute to the local community.

Participation in MORINO PROJECT’s Minamisoma Repose and Restoration Civic Tree-Planting Festival
We support and participate in the "MORINO PROJECT" activities as part of our commitment to disaster prevention, disaster mitigation, and environmental preservation. The project aims to "build disaster-resistant forests" in the Tohoku region damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and we are participating in one of its activities, the "Minamisoma Repose and Restoration Civic Tree-Planting Festival". In FY2023, 59 of our employees, mainly from the Haramachi Plant, participated in the event.
