Commentary by the Japanese Cutting Tools and Anti-Wear Tools Association

120.7 points out of 140 points high, score index of 86.2%, was an extremely good assessment among other companies struggling to score in the face of global economic stagnation due to the spread of the new coronavirus. We recognize its high driving capacity for improvement through its high organizational level based on the environmental management system, acting proactively on environmental issues, such as preventing global warming, reducing waste items, among others.

These activities to the environment become an example for other companies and we decided as the most suitable for the 2021 Environment Grand Prix.
