Addressing environmental issues through business End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture We contribute to sustainable food production by providing agricultural pumps and building stable and efficient irrigation systems.
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all We contribute to forming a sustainable water cycle through the supply of pumps for water infrastructure.
  • Water purification plants (intake water from rivers, lakes, groundwater, etc., and treat it to drinking water levels)
  • Water pumping stations (pump clean water to municipalities and households)
  • Sewage treatment plants (treat sewage from households, factories, etc., to a safe state and discharge into rivers and the ocean)
  • Seawater desalination plants (intake seawater and pass it through reverse osmosis (RO) membranes using high-pressure pumps to produce fresh water)
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
  • Our high technological capability allows us to offer a full lineup of pumps for thermal power plants and pumps for renewable energy (geothermal, biomass). In addition, we develop pumps for ammonia and hydrogen, which are expected to be next-generation energy sources, and enhancing the functionality of our products to contribute to a stable supply of power plants.
  • For all pumps, the latest CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis is applied to improve pump efficiency, thereby reducing power consumption and CO2 emissions.
  • Pumps for boiler feed, boiler circulation, condensate, cooling water etc.（power plants）
  • Go Green with Pumps Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) Prize in the Energy Conservation Grand Prize for Go Green with Pumps
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
  • We contribute to infrastructure building by providing EPC and pumps for water and wastewater facilities, as well as pumps for power plants and seawater desalination.
  • Using proprietary technologies, we have developed pumps to combat climate change and contribute to building cities more resilient to flood damage.
  • We provide IoT and AI-based smart maintenance services to address the issues of population decline and technology succession at pump facility sites.
  • METI Recommended TR-COM: Rotating Equipment Monitoring SystemTR-COM
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
  • Through energy efficiency measures and the use of green power in our factories and offices, we aim to achieve carbon neutrality by FY2029.
  • We will strive to reduce the carbon footprint of our entire supply chain by calculating and reducing supply chain emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3). We will also concurrently informing suppliers of our environmental policy and seeking their understanding and support.
  • Our manufacturing operations strive to conserve resources, minimize waste, recycle, and properly manage chemical substances.
  • We comply with environmental laws, regulations, and other requirements to which we agree, as well as establish and follow internal rules and regulations.
  • We constantly seek to improve our environmental management system to enhance our environmental performance.
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
  • We contribute to measures against climate change through our Go Green with Pumps activity, informing people that they can significantly reduce power consumption and CO2 emissions by reviewing the specifications of their pumps.
  • We are developing new pumps for clean energy sources that do not emit CO2, such as ammonia and hydrogen.
  • We contribute to disaster prevention and mitigation by offering pumps for climate change countermeasures to protect stormwater drainage pumping stations from flooding.
