Environmental Initiatives

At ULVAC Coating Corporation, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions—recognized as a key factor in global warming—has been established as a core component of our environmental policy. We are committed to conducting our business activities with full consideration for the global environment. As part of this commitment, we have been proactively installing solar power generation systems on our factories’ rooftops and carports, positioning renewable and clean energy as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. As a result, our total solar power generation capacity now exceeds 1 megawatt, reaching the scale of a mega-solar facility.
In terms of CO₂ reduction, this initiative contributes to an annual reduction of approximately 174.4 metric tons of CO₂. This achievement has enabled us to meet the Saitama prefecture’s global warming mitigation target of a 20% reduction (compared to 2005 levels). Furthermore, we are currently working toward achieving a 30% reduction by 2024.

Additional efforts include optimizing facility operations by switching cleanroom air conditioning systems to energy-saving modes during consecutive holidays or production line shutdowns, as well as seasonally adjusting chiller temperature settings. These measures promote more efficient energy use and contribute to further reductions in CO₂ emissions.

ULVAC Coating Corporation remains fully committed to the utilization of renewable energy and the reduction of energy consumption, as part of our broader mission to fulfill our environmental and social responsibilities.

At ULVAC Coating Corporation, we are committed—through a labor agreement with the labor union—to respect the dignity and individuality of each employee, with the aim of fostering mutual trust between management and employees through sincere engagement in their respective roles.
We recognize the importance of creating a diverse workplace environment, especially considering an increasingly diverse and changing society, as it enables each employee to fully demonstrate their abilities and engage in highly productive activities.

We comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding working hours, rest periods, holidays, and absence, and strive to ensure an appropriate work-life balance for our employees.

At our company, we are dedicated to fostering a workplace environment where every employee can work with vitality while maintaining both physical and mental well-being. In support of this commitment, we hereby make the following declaration:

• Senior management will take the initiative in promoting health and wellness throughout the organization.

On May 30, 2007, our company was officially registered under 'Registration under the Saitama Prefecture Childcare Support Declaration Program for General Employers'. This program recognizes and registers companies and workplaces that are actively engaged in supporting employees in balancing work and childcare, as well as contributing to childcare support within the local community.

Our company’s Childcare Support Declaration includes the following two key commitments:

• We will ensure substitute personnel for employees taking childcare leave, and work to create a workplace environment that can make it easier for taking such leave.
• We will actively welcome school children for social studies field trips to support their learning and development.

At ULVAC Coating Corporation, the safety and health of all employees are our highest priorities in every aspect of our operations. We rigorously comply with all applicable laws and regulations related to occupational safety and health, as well as with internal company policies. With a strong commitment to accident prevention, we proactively implement continuous initiatives aimed at identifying and eliminating potential risks before they materialize.

Furthermore, through the Safety and Health Committee, as well as education and emergency response training, we strive to ensure every employee maintains a high level of safety awareness. These efforts are aimed at not only securing workplace safety and health as well as creating a comfortable and productive working environment.

In July 2007, under the guidance of the 21st Century Occupational Foundation, we were designated as an Employer Implementing the Workplace Culture Reform Promotion Program. Moving forward, we will continue to plan and implement initiatives aimed at creating an environment that enables employees to achieve a balance between work and family life, as well as between work and childcare responsibilities.
