Sustainability
For a lifestyle that is friendly
to the Earth and people.
Our mission is to contribute to society from familiar places, both within and outside of our business activities, in line with our management philosophy of "proposing lifestyles that are friendly to the Earth and people."
Earth-friendly
We plan and develop environmentally-friendly products for "lifestyles that are friendly to the Earth and people." We have declared the KOIZUMI GREEN POLICY (KGP) toward 2030 in order to realize a decarbonized society and improve environmental issues such as marine plastic waste through our businesses.
What we will work towards by 2030
KOIZUMI GREEN POLICY
(KGP)
- We will review the materials and usage of plastic raw materials for the products we handle.
- We will consider the use of environmentally-friendly raw materials and promote the planning and development of products that are plastic-free and plastic-reduced.
- We will promote the establishment and utilization of a recycling system for our products.
- We will challenge new business areas.
- We will think about electric power and energy for the future.
Our action

01
Adoption of environmentally friendly film
Adoption of environmentally friendly film
The small-volume liquid container "spout bag" is made of film and is thin and flat before filling, contributing to reduced use of resin and reduced carbon dioxide emissions related to transportation compared to plastic containers and PET bottles of the same capacity.
To make such spout bags more sustainable, we have newly developed "Spout Bag + Plus," which uses an environmentally friendly film. The film used for the "Spout Bag+" is made of approximately 50% recycled materials. The amount of greenhouse gases generated during production is further reduced by approximately 40% compared to standard spout bags.

Product development using biomass plastic
Product development using biomass plastic
Launched in 1982, the Baron box "Clean" is an eco-friendly container that contains less resin than hard bottles. In addition, in 2022, to protect the earth's richness and contribute to a sustainable society, we developed the new "Clean+Plus" that uses biomass plastic.
The "Clean + Biomass Plastic Type" consists of a multi-layered structure, with more than 30% biomass plastic used except for the wetted layer that comes in contact with the content liquid. The wetted layer is made of the same resin as "Clean," which has a proven track record in the production of sake and soy sauce, so it can be used safely for food products.

Reduction of paper resources through digitalization
Reduction of paper resources through digitalization
We have introduced an electronic fax system and a web-based invoicing system, and are promoting the digitalization of internal operations. We have worked to reduce the amount of printed paper within the company and have reduced paper use by more than 120,000 sheets per year since 2017, when the initiative was launched.
People-friendly
Think globally, act locally
We are engaged in daily activities that contribute to the local environment.
In addition to providing "eco-friendly products," we will start by doing what we can to address global-scale problems in our everyday lives.
Through sports
We have been running the "Kobe Rokko Bowl" since 1972 as a sports and leisure business.
Through the promotion of sports, we hope to share the "excitement" with all people involved in this community and bowling, and to lead everyone to a healthy and affluent life in mind and body.
