The Basics of SDGs You Can't Ask Now【Environmental Measures VOL.11】

This explains the overview and key points of initiatives related to Goals 13 to 15, which are directly connected to environmental issues of the SDGs.

Environmental issues around the world are diverse. In the previous white paper, we touched on climate change, but there have been recent examples of environmental issues related to Japan, such as the following: - July 2023: Heavy Rain Disaster in Akita Prefecture [Overview] Location: Akita Prefecture Summary: The stationary rainy season front that became active caused heavy rainfall, particularly in the northern part of the Tohoku region. Damage: One fatality, four injuries, as well as flooding in homes and basements due to river overflow and landslides. - July 2020: Oil Spill Incident off the Southeast Coast of Mauritius [Overview] Location: Shallow waters off the southeast coast of Mauritius Summary: A Japanese cargo ship ran aground in shallow waters off the southeast coast of Mauritius, causing fuel oil to leak due to hull buckling and other issues. Damage: No human casualties reported. It is estimated that up to 2,000 tons of fuel oil leaked. The SDGs are goals established to address not only these environmental issues but also various problems such as poverty and inequality, with the aim of uniting the world in tackling them. This white paper will primarily focus on the efforts and key points of the SDGs related to environmental issues.

[Part 2 of the two-part structure] We will introduce actual cases of soil contamination and effective soil contamination countermeasures that we can tackle immediately.

In "Soil Contamination Measures Part 1," we provided basic knowledge about soil contamination and details of the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. In the second part of this white paper, "Soil Contamination Measures Part 2," we will introduce actual cases of health damage caused by soil contamination and effective soil contamination measures that we can take action on immediately. Soil contamination is recognized as part of environmental issues, but its impacts are diverse and can pose significant risks to people's health. Based on past cases, we will examine what kinds of health damage have occurred and what measures have been effective, while exploring specific guidelines for action to reduce the risks we face.

We will explain the importance of soil contamination measures and appropriate countermeasures in two parts.

Modern companies are increasingly required to fulfill stricter regulations and social responsibilities from the perspective of environmental protection. Among these, "soil contamination measures" are particularly noteworthy. Soil contamination is often caused by corporate activities and not only leads to health hazards and environmental destruction but also poses a significant risk to the company's credibility. This document will explain the importance of soil contamination measures and appropriate responses in two parts. In Part 1, we will provide basic knowledge about soil contamination and details of the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. By responding swiftly to soil contamination issues, it is possible to mitigate environmental risks and achieve sustainable management. We sincerely hope that you will contribute to environmental protection while fulfilling your social responsibilities as a company.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Seven Corporation has begun research and development related to rust prevention, aiming to expand the functionality of the natural multifunctional aqueous solution "SEA'S 7." This research is being promoted as a collaborative study with the Industrial Technology Research Institute. In recent years, the manufacturing industry has been seeking technologies that balance environmental impact reduction and improved work safety, making rust prevention measures after cleaning a critical issue. This research includes corrosion evaluation using metal test pieces, measurement of weight changes, and durability tests in a circulating water environment, advancing the understanding of rust prevention mechanisms and performance evaluation. In the future, we aim to develop a next-generation SEA'S 7 that incorporates rust prevention functionality in addition to cleaning, disinfection, and deodorization, contributing to the efficiency of manufacturing processes and the reduction of environmental impact.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the "Vertical Aluminum Step Type F." The "Vertical Aluminum Step Type F" is a new type of aluminum ladder specifically designed for excavation sites, based on the existing "Vertical Aluminum Step." The vertical aluminum step is lightweight due to its aluminum construction, making it easy to transport and set up. Additionally, its modular design allows for flexible height combinations (with connecting parts of 0.7m, 1.0m, and 2.0m). The newly launched Type F retains the features of the previous model while providing even greater convenience. <Features of Type F> ■ The hook adjustment range of the fixed part has been expanded. It can be attached to structures ranging from 20mm to 200mm. ■ The length of the stand pipe can be adjusted. The stand pipe can be stored, making transportation and storage easier. <Release Date> January 5, 2026 <Specifications> - Standard set for Type F: 2.4m *Individual sales of the hanging fixed part and connecting parts are available. *Sales of the previous model (stand pipe fixed type) will also continue.

This time, we will explain the differences in roles between the "accounting system" and the "document management system," which are surprisingly not well known, as well as points that are often overlooked in legal compliance. ■ The difference between accounting systems and document management systems is their "scope of coverage." - Accounting System = Management of "money (numbers)" - Document Management System = Management of "evidence (documents)" ■ Documents that are often overlooked in accounting systems The accounting system primarily focuses on "accounting processes." - "Estimates" where no money movement occurs - "Delivery notes" and "purchase orders," which are intermediate points in transactions ⇒ There are cases where these are not saved or managed in the accounting system. This could be considered a deficiency under the Electronic Bookkeeping Act. ■ Supplementing the missing parts with an "independent system" While there are high-function ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems that can manage everything from estimates to invoicing seamlessly, the reality is that the cost can be a significant barrier to implementation. Therefore, there is also the option of managing documents with an independent document management system like paperlogic. Paperlogic is currently offering a free trial. Please feel free to contact us.
