Kao’s Conservation Approach
For everything from selecting materials to waste disposal, Kao strives for eco-friendly Yoki-Monozukuri.
We make a point of sourcing responsibly managed eco-friendly raw materials.
We are aiming for efficient energy usage and zero waste production in our plants.
We are reducing our CO2 emissions during delivery by downsizing packaging, as well as by using ship and rail transport.
We are developing new products while considering how we can reduce our environmental impact.
We are promoting not only household products but also industrial products that are gentle on the environment.
To reduce waste, we are introducing refillable and replaceable packaging.
We are working together with consumers and partners to encourage eco-sensitive lifestyles.
Introducing Kao’s conservation approach in a way that’s easy to understand.
