Our never-ending endeavors include providing raw food ingredient processing technologies that we’ve been developing since our inception as products and services that have even higher added values; promoting manufacturing that considers the environment and natural resources; and working with local communities to materialize sustainable agriculture. We promote SDGs under the following five themes. Initiatives for environmental conservation and against limate change To conserve the earth’s environment, which can be said to be the greatest challenge of our society, Meiji Machine takes climate change initiatives related to CO2 emissions reduction and resource recycling. In addition to reducing environmental load through these measures, we also contribute to environmental conservation through our business such as the expansion of sales of thermal insulation paint products that contribute to energy-saving. Our main initiatives CO2 emissions reduction Ownership of solar power plants Promotion of waste recycling Our annual CO2 emissions trend (graph) Promotes the electrification of our company vehicles Owns solar power generation equipment that can generate 592 kW in total Contribution to food, agriculture, and livestock Meiji Machine has been manufacturing food processing machines and engineering plants for 120 years since its inception and has been deepening trust relationship with not only the food industry but also with its producers (i.e., agriculture and livestock industries). Japan faces a wide range of issues related to food, agriculture, and livestock, such as need for increasing in food self-sufficiency rate; worker shortage; aging workers; food safety, and hygiene. To solve these challenges, Meiji Machine provides technologies and contributes to the development of sustainable agriculture and food industries. Our main initiatives Development of automation technology Ensuring safety and hygiene through photocatalysts Automatic bag-opener (exhibited at FOOMA 2023) We were entrusted with the application of photocatalysts Technological innovations that resolve social issues Attention is gathering on smart plants built using digital technologies such as IoT and AI as a model for sustainable industrial growth through ICT in an era of declining population. Meiji Machine develops smart technologies that improve food plant productivity, such as a system that captures data in real time through IoT sensors and sends them to the cloud to be analyzed by AI so that the findings are reflected back to the manufacturing site. Our main initiatives Development of IoT predictive maintenance technology Research using the automatic bag-opener Small sensor used in our IoT Monitoring screen sample Fostering next-generation manufacturing talents The manufacturing sites of manufacturing companies face certain challenges related to lack of successors and mentors, succession of technology, etc. To resolve these issues, Meiji Machine contributes to the fostering of next-generation talents and succession of technology, such as by launching a test center equipped with actual machines at our Ashikaga Office and creating opportunities for local residents to experience the manufacturing process. Our main initiatives Our internships Milling process tour Udon-making workshop Our work environment and employee health To materialize a sustainable society and continue business, it is indispensable to maximize and leverage the capacities of a wide range of talents. To encourage our employees to work proactively with high motivation, we establish a pleasant work environment, foster talents, cultivate a culture of taking on challenges, promote diversity and inclusion, establish an employee safety and health management system, etc. Our main initiatives Establish education suited to different managerial levels, revise HR system Hire more women, appoint female managers, proactively cultivate a diverse workforce Manage work hours, check stress levels Our new employee training Return to Sustainability
