Creation of Sustainable Products (CSV)

Contributing to Social Challenges

The Tsubaki Group has set out “What we want to be in FY 2030” in our Long-Term Vision, and we are carrying out business activities that will contribute to three social concerns.
So as to widely promote these initiatives, we have certified our products that contribute to these matters as “Sustainable Products,” and we are strengthening the development and sale of those products.

The Group has been creating many unique products that are environmentally-friendly, such as those offering an extended service life, energy-efficient features, and compact designs. The process includes starting the SDG-Oriented Products System in 2020, when we expanded the range of the Eco-Products Certification System to include SDGs. This system was launched in 2010, with the aim of achieving environmental features and cost benefits for customers.
Our current Sustainable Products have a wider focus on community issues and are divided into two categories: environmentally-friendly Eco-products and community contribution-type Social Products. We are moving forward with our efforts to resolve these issues from the perspectives of both new product development and marketing activities.
The Tsubaki Group is actively co-creating with our business partners and customers that use Tsubaki products. We will continue to contribute to the resolution of community issues through the creation, promotion, and sale of Sustainable Products.
