REJ is proactively committed to apply sound and sustainable management of chemicals in each stage of the design, development, procurement and production of our products, thus ensure product safety and minimize the environmental impact.
For human and planetary health, we strive to review our current efforts and strategies including RoHS implementation, environmental conservation and preservation.

Contribution to Regional Development

Local Beautification Project

The Beautification Committee was established over 10 years ago and during that period has improved our community environment. The committee consists of members and volunteers. The purpose of the committee is to implement actions that beautify and enhance the overall appearance of our Yokohama office, community and the quality of work life of employees by picking up litter and garbage. Further, the committee organizes a cleanup event twice a year to assist in changing the surroundings of the Umi-no-koen Park and Nojima Park in Kanazawa, Yokohama.

Conservation Fund

REJ annually raises funds for saving the atmosphere and the earth. Through the independent administrative entity, the raised money is contributed to NGO and NPO that promote environmental protection plans to provide information on education, volunteerism, increase the effectiveness of local and regional communities working on environmental issues and offer a variety of training opportunities.


Donation box for saving earth

REJ has been engaged in the donation of vaccines to children in developing countries by proactively collecting caps separately from the plastic bottle and bringing them to the Eco Movement, a nonprofit organization in Yokohama, so the plastic bottle caps are sold to plastic companies and reused.

REJ has been engaged in the donation of used and old books to the local public library.

REJ’s engagement with the SDGs
