Maintaining our global environment.
Using the power of technology to build a sustainable society.
Since our founding in 1915, we have refined our information communications technologies, bringing a wide range of products to the world. We are doing our business operations to proactively contribute to social development as well as conservation of the global environment. JRC’s radio and communications technologies are serving a wide range of fields from regional disaster prevention to ship navigation at seas and oceans, bringing safety and security to the people in the world.
Environmental involvement.
JRC adheres to the principles of ISO 14001 and has built an environmental management system based on its basic philosophy and basic policy of management. We have set environmental goals and targets for the impacts we have on the environment, in order to improve those impacts. We are coping with development of clean products, green procurement, and greenhouse gas reduction in order to realize a sustainable low-carbon society.
JRC eco symbol
JRC places its eco symbol on products that comply with the in-house evaluation criteria established by it. This mark is placed on products that satisfy the clean criteria, and a four-digit number in the mark indicates the registered number of the Statement of Criteria. This symbol is a representation of the Himalayan cedars standing at the entrance of JRC Mitaka Plant.
Social involvement
During its history of nearly 100 years, JRC has responded to the hopes of its stakeholders and built strong relationships with them. We manufacture products with technology that interconnects people at home and abroad, and on land and at sea, contributing to making all of them safer and more secure. We are making efforts to help solving diverse social issues such as low birthrates and aging populations, disaster and crisis management, and local revitalization, aiming at a society of sustainable growth.
Lending radios to support disaster hit areas
We lent out radio equipment to areas hit by the Chu-etsu offshore earthquake and the Great East Japan Earthquake. By lending radio equipment and transportable satellite earth stations to the local governments, we are contributing to securing routes of communications.
Evaluation and commendation for production and quality
We received the 2011 Samsung-Q Gold Mark (radio & marine equipment division) from the Korean shipbuilder. The products we provided were
evaluated to have superior performance and quality. This is a prestigious award given to only a few suppliers who were judged to be of the highest standards.
Radio technology for children
At JRC, we think it is important to focus on teaching science to the next generation of children, so we hold classes on assembling radios for local elementary school children. This imparts the joy of making things and the appeal of radios to children.
Communication with local residents
Every year at JRC Mitaka Plant, we invite senior citizens from nearby old age homes to join us in our summer-evening party. In the future, we will continue to keep our good relationship with local citizens.
Navigating greener
Environmental protection is a priority for the conservation of precious natural resources and the continued health of our planet. JRC recognizes its responsibility as a global citizen and is continually striving to reduce the environmental impact of the work we do and the products we create.
We acquired ISO14001 environmental management system certification in 1998, and since the very beginning of our ISO environmental activities, JRC has been working to conserve the environment with 5 areas of particular attention to keep our activities and products environmentally sound.

Design
From designing for energy reduction to improve the recycling rate, JRC’s design philosophy focuses on the future of our products. JRC strongly believes that reducing the environmental impact of our business starts with the design of products. We set the bar exceptionally high – continually improving the application rate of echo friendly products – in an effort to create products that offer excellent environmental performance throughout their life cycle.
Reducing harmful substances
JRC recognizes the need for environmentally responsible production. In the building process of our technologically advanced products JRC extensively considers the materials being used, focusing on reducing or excluding environmentally harmful substances from our products and processes.
Our goal is to adapt all shipping products with the European Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electronic equipment, also known as RoHS directive.

Green purchasing
At JRC we know that materials can harm the environment. Consequently, JRC created a green database of materials and components that have an environmental impact, used in products, packaging and manufacturing process. This concept will facilitate a great range of aspects of our environmental performance, allowing us to manufacture technologically and innovative products and services while conserving and enhancing resources for future generations.
Preventing global warming
Global warming refers to the earth’s air and oceans gradually heating up to a point that disrupts balance, a problem that is continually getting worse. At JRC we not only design our products to be efficient on the seas, but also to be energy efficient. Energy consumption is one of the most significant environmental impacts an electronic device produces over time.
That is why one of our key goals in product design is to create products that are energy efficient, which help to reduce the environmental impacts associated with Carbon Dioxide CO2, saving us all from using more of our valuable natural resources.
JRC has taken steps against to combat of global warning, and JRC teamed up with “Team Minus 6%”, and took actively part in the governmental campaign Cool Biz to promote power savings.

Recycling
JRC strives to minimize the amount of waste generated by our company, plants and operations, and we believe this concept extends to the proper disposal of used electronic equipment. The recycling starts with the product design, as it inflicts the quantity of raw materials, type and recylability of materials that will help implementing effective and easier recycling circle.
In September 2005, the Mitaka and Saitama plants launched a paper recycling program, covering cardboard packaging, notepads, paper from manuals and other printed materials for use of recycled toilet paper. Over a period of 6 months, 15 tons of paper trash was recycled as raw material.
