SDGs at NBK

Based on our philosophy of Good Products from a Good Environment, we have created an environment based on the concept of a "garden factory" or factory in a park.

We have also landscaped the environment around the factory, such as improving the water quality in the area inhabited by spot-billed ducks, a rare regional species, to enhance biological diversity and create a forest where humanity can coexist with other living things.

While casting works are generally considered harsh environments, we have switched to the use of remote operation for the pouring line, which uses high-temperature molten metal, to ensure both safety and productivity.

We have also taken various measures such as dust-proofing, high-powered HVAC, automation of plant processes, and so on, to create a good working environment with our workers' safety and comfort in mind.

The Gifu Collection of Modern Arts is located within our headquarters. Here we create what cultural life we may by hosting regular concerts, art exhibitions, and so on, hoping to contribute to the local community.

We plan to take active steps to conserve the natural environment and contribute to culture as a good corporate citizen, rather than stopping at manufacturing alone.

We want to support the urge to learn. Based on this philosophy, we provide financial support for employees studying for qualifications and bonuses for those acquiring them, calling this our "meister system."
Over 20 years, this system has realized a positive corporate atmosphere in which half our employees take up study.

Believing that the conservation of the global environment is an important aspect of manufacturing, we take part in various improvement activities on a daily basis, such as the following examples.
Through eco-friendly, energy efficient, safe, high-quality manufacturing, we provide our customers with better products. We engage in open, highly transparent business with consideration for society and the environment.
