In response to climate change, our Environmental Policy included "Developing technology that contributes to prevention of global warming" and we develop our business activities based on that policy. We are contributing to the reduction of energy loss in all industries, including automotive business, by developing and providing products that improve energy conservation by reducing friction of bearings and driveshafts that are our core products. We also contribute to grow and develop the renewable energy markets by developing and providing products for wind turbines and products that utilize natural energy, such as the transportable independent power supply "N3 N-CUBE". We are also working to reduce CO2 emissions and hazardous wastes throughout our entire business activities, including logistics, as well as manufacturing. In addition, we are also actively taking initiatives to reduce environmental impact not only in-house but also in the entire supply chain by conducting green purchasing.

In the future, we will analyze the risks and opportunities caused by climate change in our business and put them into our management strategies. We will also actively disclose the information based on the recommendations of TCFD.
