Achieving the SDGs
Iwate-machi, where the Joewell factory is located, was selected by the Japanese government as the "2020 SDGs Future City". Our company is working on achievement of the SDGs through the following efforts.
-
We have discontinued the plastic package and switched to the paper package.
In order to make effective use of resources, we also provide after-sales service (sharpening) to our customers so that they can use our products as long as possible. - Through collaboration products with a local product "urushi (lacquer)", we will contribute to the revival of the local urushi industry. Urushi is an excellent material since it is renewable, safe, and secure. Urushi does not pollute the environment. Urushi is also attracting attention from the perspective of SDGs as a material that solves the problem of sustainability.
- We will pass on the tradition, culture and skills of scissors making to future generations. We actively accept factory tours as desired and convey the appeal of craftsmanship.
- We will provide a comfortable workplace for everyone. Men can also take and have taken childcare leave. One in four employees is a woman, and women can play an active role.
