As an enterprise that is involved in research and development of rechargeable batteries that can be used repeatedly, we actively promote the installation of solar panels and introduction of eco cars under the motto of, “Do not waste energy”. Based on the belief that the accumulation of small activities is the first step towards creating a better global environment, we make a company-wide effort to tackle such activities. We have exploited the advantage of our head office’s location in Iwaki City, which has relatively long sunshine hours compared to other locations in Japan, to install solar panels on the roofs of buildings in the head office grounds.

Solar Panels

In order to fully utilize the natural resource of sunlight, we have adopted panels that can generate power even on cloudy days, in an effort to increase the power generating efficiency. The generated energy is utilized without waste to power our assessment activities for the development of rechargeable batteries.

Hybrid Cars

TOYO SYSTEM promotes introduction of environmentally friendly eco cars. We actively utilize HEV and EV cars as company vehicles, and we have also adopted a system for subsidizing purchase of hybrid cars by employees, thereby encouraging them to switch to eco cars.
