Environment

Environmental Action Policy

As part of its corporate activities, the SANKYO Group is committed to continuously contributing to a better global environment by working to reduce its environmental impact.

Initiatives toward Climate Change

Based on the TCFD recommendations, our policy on the risks and opportunities posed by climate change to our business describes our initiatives and structures in terms of governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets.

Promotion of reuse and recycling

The Group is dedicated to promoting the recycling of pachinko and pachislot machines to make effective use of resources and reduce environmental impact. We have achieved a high recycling rate of over 90% for pachinko machines and over 80% for pachislot machines.

From the design stage, we work to increase the use of recyclable parts and the percentage of common components to reduce the loss of components, so that the specifications are easier to recycle. We make active use of low-priced reuse models that are expected to be as effective as new models. These measures not only promote recycling but also benefit from cost reduction. SANKYO Group will further deepen its efforts to reduce environmental impact and improve management efficiency.

Efforts to Utilize Renewable Energy

At SANKYO, as part of our initiative to utilize renewable energy, we installed a PPA-based photovoltaic system on the roof of our subsidiary SANKYO EXCEL’s plant. We aim to reduce CO2 emissions by using the electricity generated there. From November 2023 to March 2024, we reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 117 tons.
