MARK THERTAPY Laboratory has the mission of offering answers to the body’s issues, and through our three businesses of bodywork/care salon treatments, product development, and training sessions, we operate under the vision of being a "partner that supports your body in all aspects.

Considering our Carbon Footprint: Developing Products that Enhance Quality of Life We have developed products aimed at improving health and comfort, including those designed to give full-on care to the neck, in addition to water pillows designed for pressure dispersion and an ideal fit. In addition to striving for safety and peace of mind, going forward we will continue to work on environmental efforts like calculating CO2 emissions at the material processing stage.

Guidelines and clinical practice for basic health maintenance Many factors play a role in maintaining good health, but posture and the skeletal structure play a particularly important one. Accurate alignment of the spine, from the pelvis to the spinal column, including the lower back, neck, and shoulders, often eliminates physical discomfort. We have focused on this correlation and has developed a three-pronged business of clinical outpatient services, research papers, and the development and marketing of products that take the skeletal structure into consideration, using our high level of expertise and experience in this field. In particular, in the clinical field, we have studied the human skeleton’s shape formation process, taking into consideration the fact that humans are organisms living under gravitational and atmospheric pressures on the ground and have bone shapes that adapt to dynamic factors like impact loading. We are presently studying the correlation between stress transfer point discontinuity at each joint in musculoskeletal injuries and associated symptoms. Our aim is to utilize these findings in treatment approaches, particularly considering the skeletal shape formation process in the affected symptomatic area.

Positioning on proceeding with product development In developing and selling products that take the human skeleton into account, we specialize in items used in daily life including chairs, pillows, and support clothing. These products are designed to assist the correct positioning of the pelvis and spine and to reduce the strain on the body caused by prolonged use. They contribute significantly to improving people’s daily quality of life, especially in today's society where many people work at desks.
In addition, since many of our products are in direct contact with the human body, we have developed them with consideration given to the safety and security of the materials. In addition, we strive to provide products that are also valuable from the perspective of sustainability, by carrying out product development that takes the global environment into consideration in ways like carbon footprint efforts. By using renewable materials, reducing energy consumption in the manufacturing process, and designing products with long service life, we can aim for consumer health and comfort while minimizing our impact on the environment.

What our laboratory aims to achieve through awareness-raising activities We offer educational programs for the general public based on the knowledge and experience we have gained in our business. In this way, we help achieve a healthier society by spreading information and techniques useful for maintaining and improving health on an individual level.
At the same time, the knowledge we gain through writing research papers enhances the development of methodologies based on scientific evidence. When we can share this research at academic conferences, in journals, etc., and have it widely accepted in the industry, that will raise the overall standard of treatment techniques. It may also lead to the discovery of new treatments and prevention methods through academic research, which can contribute to the advancement of medicine over the long term.
In this way, our activities aim to contribute to society not only in terms of direct treatment and product development, but also in terms of research and education. Our goal is to improve people's quality of life through skeletal and postural health.

MARUWA Co., Ltd. is a company that works together with the local community and is engaged in problem-solving related to information distribution, that can "also" print. We handle a wide range of services, not just with printed materials but also with digital media and event planning. Because we are a compactly-sized company, our strength lies in our ability to respond quickly and flexibly. Moreover, we support our clients on how to effectively introduce and promote SDGs, leveraging our experience in obtaining multiple third-party certifications for environmental activities. The expertise we provide enhances customers’ corporate value.


Environmentally Friendly Printing and Paper We have received several environmental certifications, including a Green Printing certification. As we have introduced CO2 offset non-carbon printing for ourselves, which reduces CO2 emissions to virtually zero, and we are working to reduce our environmental impact further by offering ethical paper made from renewable resources.

What does it mean that we “also” print? We are a company that goes beyond printing, from proposal to formulation. We do not only handle printed materials. We also offer a full range of services from planning to production, printing, and delivery, including digital areas like videos and websites, and events like workshops and forums. At a small-sized company, our mobility and flexibility allow us to support our clients in driving projects forward more efficiently, eliminating the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors from our coustomers.

Environmentally friendly printing We have obtained various third-party certifications including an SBT certification for small and medium-sized enterprises and Nagoya SDGs Green Partners, as well as ISO certifications. All those form the basis of our environmental activities. In order to contribute to achieving a carbon-neutral society, we are taking the following concrete steps.

Ethical Paper
We promote the use of sustainable papers that include banana paper, which is made from banana stem fibers that would otherwise be discarded, and circular cotton paper, which is made from clothing waste fibers.

Carbon Offsetting
We offset the greenhouse gas emissions generated by our corporate activities that we are unable to reduce by contributing to efforts toward lower emissions and absorption in other businesses, thereby effectively reducing our CO2 emissions to zero.

Green Printing
Our factory is a Green Printing Certified Factory that meets the printing industry's environmentally friendly standards. We print using 100% vegetable oil ink, which contains more than the required amount of renewable plant-derived oil.

Renewable Energy
Converting 30% of our electricity to Aichi Green Electricty, we are working to reduce our environmental impact by using CO2-free and locally produced energy.

Making use of our SDGs expertise We have been committed to SDGs for a long time, through our environmental considerations and CSR activities. We actively work for our customers' SDGs promotion by generously providing our expertise, which is backed by our third-party certifications. Specifically, we are involved in the following efforts.

SDGs action book
We produce a visualized action book that clarifies the relationship between customers’ businesses and SDGs. This brings awareness that will lead to not only shared goals, but also to increased corporate value and better results in recruiting activities.

SDGsSDGs workshop
We support the introduction and spread of SDGs through hands-on workshops, including backgammon games that allow participants to learn while playing. This can create opportunities for companies to think independently about their own unique values, especially in corporate branding.

NODAKI is a trading company founded in 1907 specializing in machine tools. In the 110 years we have been active, we have contributed to the growth of many of the world's leading manufacturers. With each one, we have walked alongside them since their founding, responding to their needs and sharing in times of both difficulty and joy. That is why we make recommendations by considering each manufacturer’s unique characteristics, regulations, accumulated knowledge, and improvement processes, among other factors. NODAKI's history is a history of challenges, and we are what we are today because we have changed with the times. With an eye on the next 100 years, NODAKI will continue to progress forward, inheriting the spirit of challenge that we have cultivated over the years.


Reliability and integrity underpinning the company contributes to economic and cultural development One of NODAKI's strengths is the know-how and connections we have developed over the years. Our robust network with over 700 suppliers gives us confidence that we can always provide the products our customers need. What's more, the Nodaki Group has acquired ISO14001 certification and maintains high standards for environmental management.

A specialized trading company providing the manufacturing industry with comprehensive support As a specialized trading company, NODAKI handles a huge range of products, including cutting tools, grinding tools, tool holders, inspecting and measuring tools, molds and jigs, workpieces, machinery and equipment, environmentally friendly products, and more.
Our ability to adapt solutions to any particular need allows our sales personnel to provide optimal proposals to customers having a hard time selecting a grinding tool for cemented carbide, cermet, and other materials that are difficult to cut. In addition, we offer our customers comprehensive support for their manufacturing processes, with solutions including technical support, consulting, suggestions for special-order items, and construction services. We aim to be a partner in helping our customers achieve sustainable growth through our "Challenge for the NEXT 100" corporate vision.

Our commitment to achieving SDGs and formulating our BCP Since the 1980s, NODAKI has been involved in a carbide tool recycling program in an effort to eliminate the risks to domestic supplies of tungsten and other rare metals resulting from a dependence on imports.
With a deeply rooted awareness about solving social and environmental issues through our business activities, the company established an SDGs Promotion Committee and is engaged in collecting plastic bottle caps, going paperless, and other daily efforts.
In addition, understanding how essential the power of workers is to our customers' sustainable manufacturing processes, we have collaborated with a sweet manufacturer in joint development of the Salty Vitamin Jelly Work Partner that is effective in preventing heatstroke by replenishing electrolytes at the same concentrations recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. This demonstrates our customer commitment not only in providing machinery tools and solutions, but also in health management. Furthermore, prompted by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, we have been developing our business continuity plan (BCP) that incorporates measures to ensure the safety of employees and the local community and to maintain and quickly restore operations. The procedures include distribution of portable disaster prevention cards and creation of hazard maps for each site. Our BCP has been certified by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry as a "Business Continuity Enhancement Plan." We will regularly review, improve, and promote our BCP both within and outside the company.

What a specialized trading company can do to achieve carbon neutrality NODAKI supports the Aichi Global Warming Prevention Strategy 2030.
We are further intensifying efforts to reduce environmental impacts as required by ISO 14001 and actively working to achieve our targeted 26% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030. There are, however, limitations to what a specialized trading company can do to become carbon neutral via the “sale of products." NODAKI has taken a new approach to contribute to carbon neutrality through the following "sales of services."
• Proposals to extend the life of carbide tools through regrinding and coating
• Proposals for recycling carbide waste
• Proposals for visualizing electric power consumption (demand monitoring systems, energy monitors, etc.)
• Proposals for extending coolant service life and sludge recovery
• Proposals for renewable energy and energy savings (non-fossil certificates, solar power, conversion to LEDs, heat-resistant coatings, etc.)
This specialized trading company's functions include leveraging our industry-leading network to create a catalog of Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP) and use that in suggesting environmentally friendly products. Low-carbon efforts within the company include switching vehicles in the company fleet to EVs and PHEVs, reducing power consumption by installing solar panels and storage batteries, and using non-fossil certified renewable energy.

TOKAI ECOBOARD Co., Ltd. began focusing on environmental issues about 30 years ago. Through our technological development aimed at helping to bring about a recycling-oriented society, we developed a material called ECO BOARD. We succeeded in mass-producing Ecoboard, and with a passion for solving issues in various manufacturing industries—especially for logistics-related companies—we have been promoting its use for around 20 years. One of the founding principles of our company is having a fair, unbiased spirit. We are achieving open-minded impartiality by being environmentally conscious across the board through the manufacture, processing, and sale of ECO BOARD and ECO BOARD-related products.


Patented technology results in the strongest eco-materials. The structure of ECO BOARD and other Tokai Ecoboard products are based on the company's own original patents. Unlike ordinary cardboard, the corrugated sheets are arranged perpendicularly and securely bonded to the top and bottom of the board surface, ensuring unmatched strength and sturdiness.

Specific applications for ECO BOARD Our ECO BOARD is the result of over 25 years of research and development.
The board's special structure gives it the ability to withstand a compression load 700 kg per 10 square centimeters while retaining cardboard's original characteristics of lighter weight, ease of processing, and thermal insulation.
This gives it to applications in a variety of fields, including transport pallets, cushioning materials, partitions, and flooring, while also providing freedom in design. In addition, the boards can be used during disasters as partitions for private spaces, changing rooms, nursing rooms, and other spaces, and can be used for sleeping areas in evacuation shelters as well.

Contributing to a recycling-oriented society with ECO BOARD ECO BOARD's greatest advantage for the oncoming recycling-oriented society is the fact it is 100% recyclable. ECO BOARD's usage cycle is described below.
Design and Production
• Uses recycled paper waste
• Manufactured with minimal raw material waste
Distribution and Retail Sales
• Lightweight, which reduces fuel consumption during transportation
Use
• Enables freedom in design
• Safe due to nonuse of polluting substances; requires no fumigation
Recovery
• Ensures a stable recovery path for waste paper
Recycling
• Initiatives to improve the quality of recycled materials and to review and reduce the amount of energy resources used in the recycling process.
The cardboard recycling system relies on the close relationship between the wastepaper, paper manufacturing, and cardboard industries.
As a member of this system, we continue striving to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions and help achieve a low-carbon society.

SDGs and SBT initiatives also involving logistics As one aspect of our efforts to promote the SDGs, Tokai Ecoboard holds lectures and other events for employees, providing each employee with opportunities to consider how we can meet each of the SDG targets. We also strive to make our customers know that using our paper pallets contributes to carbon neutrality. Our sales promotion aims to support the development of a circular economy, helping achieve multiple SDG goals.
Additionally, there is an estimated difference of over 200 kg between wooden pallets and ECO BOARD pallets when used in one oversized hauling truck. Reducing fuel consumption during transport simultaneously reduces greenhouse gas emissions from ICE vehicles. We have partnered with logistics companies to create a group offering comprehensive support from packaging to storage and delivery, while raising environmental awareness across the group.

MIZUNO KAGU Co., Ltd. operates the CONNECT showroom and store, where we offer original custom-made furniture based on the concept of "a place where people can connect with each other". We also offer various brands including one for imported Scandinavian furniture and one for original custom-made furniture designed with professional storage techniques.
Furthermore, we have been working on the "Kodama Project" to connect people in the mountains upstream and the towns downstream. In this project, we conduct hands-on programs in the form of experiential parent-children tours in upstream mountains where the cedar lumber used for our desks is sourced. Participants were encouraged to consider their connection with local resources.


High-quality, fully custom-made furniture that radiates craftsmanship Mizuno Kagu has been dealing with furniture, primarily through woodworking, since the company's establishment as a woodworking factory over 70 years ago.
We offer fully made-to-order furniture that combines design and functionality with unstinting attention to detail to suit the customer's lifestyle and preferences.
Whether it's a table made from a single slab of solid natural wood, or perhaps a set of chairs that perfectly matches our lifestyle, Mizuno Kagu craftsmen put all of their heart into the furniture they create.

Creating special places with attractive furniture Mizuno Kagu comprises a number of different brands. Our fragship brand, CONNECT, is based on the concept of "a place where people connect," connecting customers with materials (valuable techniques and materials), tools (tools imbued the maker's feelings), and time (irreplaceable moments of richness).
Our NORTE line presents imported Scandinavian-designed furniture featuring the warmth of wood. The simple yet sophisticated designs blend into the surrounding space to produce a comfortable atmosphere.

Creating a 3R cycle with single-ply, solid wood Established to connect people in the upstream mountains with those in towns downstream, the Kodama Project involves development of furniture and structures made with wild cedar that has never been processed since being planted in the forest area of Higashi-Shirakawa Village, Kamo-gun, Gifu Prefecture. The project also includes sales of foods made using tomatoes and other local ingredients, while plans include lodging field trips for children to experience the mountain environment and the warmth of wood.
The project, where people share roles and thoughts becomes the catalyst for new ideas and work. Not simply about bringing effective use of local resources, but also conveying the feelings to the next generation, it fosters an environment in which innovation begets further innovation. In addition, producing furniture from domestic wood also reduces CO2 and other emissions from transporting imported wood.
Recycling single-ply, solid wood creates a brighter future for the Earth. With the "Rewood" brand, we are developing a business that purchases disused low, single slab tables from all over Japan and reprocesses them to provide new value. Since the launch in 2016, we have been aimed to prevent excessive deforestation by reusing rare wood.
A single slab of natural wood, a blessing from nature, changes in character and gains more depth and charm as it ages with use. This initiative is an opportunity to ponder the importance of continuing to use things for long periods and passing them on to the next user, rather than consuming them. It truly contributes to meeting SDG Goal 12, "Responsible Consumption and Production" and Goal 15, "Life on Land."

Since our founding in 1968, AIWA KOGEI Co., Ltd. has been dedicated to creating the "face" of stores and businesses, specializing in production of indoor and outdoor signs and exterior renovation.
Our strength lies in making strategic signs and external renovations with many years of accumulated knowhow, which helps clients increase sales. We propose designs for strategic signs that enhance brand value and business strategies, not just mere nameplates.


Proven expressiveness shaped by expertise throughout our history Aiwa Kogei has been in business for over fifty years and completed over 30,000 projects. Maximizing our expertise and design capabilities, we can suggest strategic proposals that enhance customer attraction to the next level, especially for storefront businesses such as restaurants, bonesetters, acupuncturists, beauty salons, clinics, athletic gyms, and real estate agency offices.

Our "super sign expert" concept At Aiwa Kogei, we see our role as that of bridging businesses and customers, facilitating the ideal mutual encounter. Realizing that ideal absolutely requires a strategic approach, one in which managers clearly visualize their business's appeal and values and conducts market and competitive analyses.
We use comprehensive interviews and business frameworks to help our clients maximize and visualize their potential value. In addition, we evaluate customer behavior with onsite surveys and detailed market analysis, integrating the relevant data into the design at every stage to optimize its effectiveness in attracting customers.
Signs are powerful promotional tools for acquiring new customers and retaining existing customers. A sign acting like a master sales associate and winning the customer's hearts becomes a key asset in a business's sales strategy. Our mission as a "super sign expert" is to ensure comprehensive support for the client's success and maximizing their brand value through sign production.

Polished craftsmanship While ready-made signs are highly convenient, providing even greater added value requires the appeal of an original hand-painted sign. With craftsmen who are highly skilled in handwriting techniques, Aiwa Kogei specializes in producing hand-painted signs with superior design and impact.
We also handle exterior renovations, including exterior walls using corrugated materials and other uneven surfaces. Our sign artists' exceptional craftsmanship makes the building itself unique and original, maximizing advertising effectiveness to support medium- to long-term business. We also provide post-construction repairs and other after-sales support and maintenance.

Consistent support for advertising strategies Aiwa Kogei not only offers signs and exterior renovation, but also provides total support in setting up venues and event booths at exhibitions, producing flyers and banners, vehicle advertising ("car marking"), website production, and other tools for enhancing customer awareness.
In attracting customers, it is important to develop strategies from all angles and to sustain appeal through branding. Businesses also need to pay attention to other companies' successes and new trends, always adopting approaches based on the latest information. We support both aspects, fully committing to differentiating the customer's advertising strategies and achieve outstanding results.

In business for eight generations since our founding in 1824, KASHIWAYA Co., Ltd. has focused on sales of washi traditional Japanese paper as a decorative interior material for living spaces and architecture while cherishing Japan's ancient paper culture.
We believe that washi’s functionality and its connection to nature hold the key to sustaining modern prosperity and carrying it forward into the future. We are also actively striving to combine tradition with new technology and enhance our contribution to the environment.


Offering high added value through traditional and innovative craftsmanship Kashiwaya has a network of exceptionally skilled mounting artists who continue refining their skills while conveying washi culture. Our carefully selected washi is finished by master craftsmen into stunningly beautiful and superb mounting.

Our role as washi experts Since the Edo period, Kashiwaya has valued our relationships with papermakers throughout Japan, taking on the role of a wholesaler. This allows us to effectively capture customer needs and timely offer proposals for high-quality products at competitive prices.
At our karakami paper showroom, customers can view washi paper for fusuma sliding doors and a variety of decorative washi paper reflecting cultural diversity in regions. We also create original product such as floor lamps that maximize washi's characteristic, enabling light to gently diffuse into the surrounding space.

Advanced capability to work with even national assets Just as we have with papermakers, Kashiwaya has strengthened partnerships with a variety of interior decoration contractors, specialists for fusuma sliding doors, shoji paper screens, wallpaper, and other materials. In collaboration, we offer a comprehensive one-stop service that includes proposals, installation, delivery, and after-sales support, extending beyond typical wholesale operations. We also undertake specialized and challenging projects such as spatial design for shrines and temples as well as restoration of traditional stage sets and important cultural properties including Buddhist paintings.
Maintaining pride in our involvement with Japanese culture for many years, we aim to enrich people's lives in any way possible as a go-to place for all things related to Japanese-style spaces.

Considering SDGs from the perspective of housing Washi has been the principal interior material in traditional Japanese houses. It is timeless and can be revived again and again, even as its texture beautifully changes over time.
We consider such Japanese houses sustain the foundation of industry and urban development, and directly contribute to SDG Goal 11, "Sustainable Cities and Communities." Utilizing washi, a recyclable resource, enables waste reductions and supports the creation of a low-carbon society.
Moreover, the use of natural materials, including those produced and consumed locally, can revitalize local economies and align with SDG Goal 8, "Decent Work and Economic Growth," and Goal 9, "Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure." Moving forward, Kashiwaya continues to promote the use of washi and advance our efforts toward a circular economy.

We implement a production approach focused on sustainability and efficiency and help customers respond flexibly and swiftly to market fluctuations.

Striving for quality that ensures safety and security in the community Recognized for the quality and environmental management systems we have established, First is certified in both the ISO 9001 international quality management system and ISO140001 environmental management system. Panel stands and other outdoor signs in particular must be designed not only for appearance but also durability to ensure safety. To check the risk of signs' falling or breakage, we have an independent third-party architectural organization conduct durability tests (wind tunnel tests), testing against maximum instantaneous wind speeds to establish clear standards for safe use.
At First, we also hold internal company competitions, primarily among production group employees. We evaluate entries and make suggestions on practical structural aspects such as ease of assembly and resistance to breakage; this has even resulted in developing patents and utility models. Through such programs, we are making steady, rapid improvements in quality and durability.

Efforts towards SDG-focused products and community engagement First conforms with all SDG targets and promotes them with the following initiatives.

8. Decent work and economic growth
First's system integrates all processes, from product development to procurement, production, and sales.
