The Message from the President
In the 20th century, the global environment was badly affected by mass production, mass consumption and mass disposal resulting from high-speed industrialization.
Experts say that the 21st century is an extremely important period in which to conserve an environment allowing all the live forms on the Earth to survive into the future. Futaku has set as its highest management priority to operate and make efforts each day so as to minimize effects on the environment and conserve the life-supporting global environment to thereby pass it on to future generations.
This document introduces Futaku’s conservation activities and their results for fiscal 2010. Thank you very much in advance for your understanding, and for your critical advice and guidance.
Ryozo Futaku
The President of FUTA・Q, Ltd.

Description of specific activities (examples)
- Promote the reuse of newspaper used in product packaging. Dispose of quality record sheets after collecting them in a designated box. Place vendors’ collection box to collect used paper cups of automatic vending machines.
- To reduce the occurrence of defective products in manufacturing processes, we specifically totaled the numbers of the causes of failures in each section, to promote awareness of workers. As for the products whose processing is difficult, we reviewed processing conditions to reduce the occurrence of failures.
- To reduce the use of a chemical substance (dichloromethane), we discontinued the re-washing of products already washed in a partner factory, and made efforts to reduce the use of chemical substances by setting targets.
- We performed cleaning in the plants and surrounding areas according to monthly plans.
- We organized an environmental conservation event in which we collected trash surrounding the plant, promoted a conservation month, and promoted increased energy efficiency with the participation of employees, to improve the awareness of conservation.
