environmental initiatives
environmental approach through our businesses
Across our businesses in garments, real estate, and materials, we are taking steps to reduce environmental impact, keep resources in circulation, and expand the use of renewable energy.
We believe environmental care begins with the choices we make every day.
This includes the materials we select, the energy we use, the way we manage our buildings, and how we improve our operations.
Each of our businesses faces different environmental challenges and opportunities.
We look closely at what we can change today and continue taking practical steps, one by one.
garment
create, deliver, and circulate
Uniform collection and recycling, lower-impact materials, and improved logistics and operations, each is a step toward using resources more thoughtfully.
uniform collection
& recycling
Collected uniforms are recycled into products such as T-shirts and reusable bags. In June 2025, approximately 2 tonnes of uniforms were collected for recycling and reuse. Together with our customers, we are working to extend the life of uniforms and keep resources in circulation.
lower-impact materials
The static-control ESD Guardian Uniform uses recycled PET. Compared with fabric made from virgin PET, the recycled PET fabric reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 46.6%.
Other lower-impact options include recycled PET, plant-based synthetic fibers, recycled polyester, and waterless dyeing.
digital ordering system
The proprietary online ordering system “Good Wear Good Job” enables customers to manage their uniforms in one place while reducing paper use.
smarter logistics
At the Hiraoka Logistics Center, cardboard boxes are reused to reduce waste.
Small improvements on site include eliminating PP bands and reducing the amount of packing tape used.
real estate
giving buildings new life, growing with communities
Existing buildings, renewable energy, and thoughtful property management all play a part in reducing environmental impact and creating lasting value for communities.
ReTerra Shin-Osaka
An existing building was given new life as ReTerra Shin-Osaka, incorporating regenerative ideas into its renewal.
In June 2026, the building received a Green Building Certification from the Development Bank of Japan (DBJ).
coton nakasemba
In March 2025, coton nakasemba opened in Semba, Osaka.
Created and nurtured with the local community, the urban garden brings nature and the changing seasons into the city, creating opportunities for people to meet and connect with one another and with nature.
solar power generation
The Tatsuno head offices in Osaka and Tokyo also use 100% renewable electricity, reducing CO₂ emissions by approximately 322 tonnes annually.
greening & energy efficiency
The rooftop of the Tatsuno Osaka Headquarters has been transformed into a green space where people can relax and experience nature in the city.
LED lighting is also being introduced in common areas across our properties to reduce energy consumption.
material
supporting the infrastructure of tomorrow
Tatsuno provides materials for renewable energy systems and offers lower-impact alternatives for infrastructure and industry.
renewable energy infrastructure
Materials for dedicated power lines connecting renewable energy generation sites with substations and grid connection points support the expansion of renewable energy.
lower-impact materials
The range includes protection boards made from waste plastic, eco-plastic lumber as an alternative to wood, and recyclable aluminium composite panels, offering lower-impact options across the product lifecycle.
moving forward, one step at a time
Our approach to the environment continues to evolve.
We keep learning, making thoughtful choices, and taking practical steps through our businesses, one at a time.
