Circular business guidelines: SUTENAI CIRCLE

One of our material issues is to contribute toward a circular economy with the ideal outcome being a scenario in which our collaboration with partners and customers leads to a zero-waste society. To achieve this outcome, we developed SUTENAI CIRCLE, a set of circular business guidelines, in 2023.Of the processes labeled A to G, this policy emphasizes strengthening efforts in use (D), collection (E), and recycling (F) most of all, in order to close the recycling loop and slow down the cycle. Through communication with users and the venous industry, we will shift to truly circular products and roll out services for circulation.
