Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Since its establishment, EBC Corporation has been dedicated to importing and selling non-ferrous metals, purchasing and recycling unwanted plastics such as molding defects, and selling reusable factory materials. These business activities align with the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Based on our belief that business expansion can be achieved through consideration for the global environment, we are committed to advancing towards the realization of a sustainable world as envisioned by the SDGs.

EBC’S ACTION

Striving to create a workplace that prioritizes both mental and physical health.

At EBC Corporation, we prioritize the mental and physical health of our employees and strive to create a conducive work environment. For instance, we have implemented flexible working arrangements such as shortened working hours and telecommuting for employees who require childcare or family caregiving. We also have a proven track record of maternity and childcare leave, with a 100% return rate for those who take leave.

Furthermore, to encourage active use of paid leave, we allow employees to take leave on an hourly basis. For those who haven’t used their paid leave, managers consistently encourage them to do so.

We believe that our employees, who share our mission and work together, are our greatest asset. Moving forward, we will continue to collaborate with employees to create a healthier and more conducive work environment, ensuring that their voices are heard and considered.

Active promotion of senior employees, foreign talent, and women in managerial positions.

At EBC Corporation, we actively employ individuals from diverse backgrounds, regardless of age, nationality, or gender, and they play active roles in our frontline operations.

As part of our efforts to promote employment for senior generations and address an aging society, we have extended the retirement age to 65 years and provide opportunities for re-employment beyond this age. We also encourage the hiring of veteran professionals who have retired from other companies, leveraging their experience, skills, and networks, and offer various employment options such as full-time positions and outsourcing arrangements to accommodate their preferred work styles.

Additionally, we foster an environment where individuals, regardless of gender, can thrive and engage in mutual growth. We actively promote women into managerial positions and facilitate transitions from non-regular to regular employment. Our focus remains on fostering an environment where a spirit of challenge and growth is valued, independent of factors such as age or nationality.

The dual operations of reuse and recycling businesses

EBC Corporation purchases and collects recycled plastics domestically, processes them at our own facilities or domestic cooperative factories, and sells them both domestically and internationally. Even plastics that are no longer needed can be transformed into raw materials for new products through processing. By promoting the reuse of recycled plastics, we contribute to reducing waste and strive for waste reduction.

In our business of selling reusable factory materials, we handle a variety of reusable materials, expanding the circle of reuse and contributing to a circular economy. This also leads to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of new products and disposal.

Promotion of Plastic Material Recycling

Since its inception, EBC Corporation has been committed to expanding and establishing sales channels both domestically and internationally. Through the sale of recycled plastics, we actively promote plastic material recycling. Moving forward, we plan to further develop capabilities to handle plastics derived from factory emissions and waste. Through our corporate activities, we aim to contribute to the preservation of the natural environment, resource conservation, and reduction of waste.

Efforts Toward Reducing CO2 Emissions

At EBC Corporation’s own factories, we have transitioned from using gasoline forklifts to utilizing LPG gas and battery-powered forklifts.
