Efforts to Achieve
the SDGs

Because the ports where ships load and unload are often different, aquatic organisms contained in ballast water are transported between countries, causing such problems as disturbance to the global ecosystem.
Ships with a gross tonnage of 400 tons or more engaged in international navigation are required to carry a type-approved ballast water treatment system and possess an International Ballast Water Management Certificate (in Japan, an International Marine Pollution Prevention Certificate issued by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism).
※ All applicable vessels are required to have the system installed by September 8, 2024.
The "ballast water treatment system" device is designed to biodegrade the stored water in the ballast. And allow the water to be treated without causing changes in the water quality, regardless of where the water is discharged.
From the total of five ships what we own, the foreign-going vessel "BBC Rainbow" installed the system in October 2020, and "Ultra Galaxy" installed the system in February 2023.

For over 20 years, people living near the Yoshino River have been participating in the "Yoshino River Adopt Progam," a volunteer activity to "protect the irreplaceable Yoshino River". On their days off, many or our employees, including their children, participate in beautification activities on the north bank of the Yoshino River at Anabukibashi, and around the 600m to 1400m section upstream of the Yoshino River.

The Fujita Group received certification as a "Tokushima Childcare Support Company" in 2020, and is actively taking measures to enable employees to continue working while having and raising children. This includes providing an on-site childcare facility, childcare leave, flexible work hours that accommodate individual lifestyles, and the Fujita Scholarship program to support your children's higher education. We also share our parenting activities with the world on Instagram.

We have established a business system for the Post-COVID era that can be operated under the current With-COVID situation.
We are also committed to ensure early vaccination for all employees and their families, prioritizing the safety of our customers and the health of our employees.

The company implemented measures such as health checkups for all employees, installing an in-house gym, and workplace smoking regulations to prevent serious illness. Additionally, as part of the efforts to address metabolic syndrome, a record of a member's weight loss journey (from 130kg at joining) was posted on Instagram, as well as issuing the "Declaration of Healthy Workplace" to promote health management both inside and outside of the company . And this March, we were certified as a "Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization".

With the support of the Japanese Red Cross volunteer team, we have been continuing annual blood donation drives for over 25 years. Our employees, as well as our customers, are encouraged to participate in blood donations as well as conduct emergency disaster drills during the campaign.

Annually, we conduct disaster prevention performances and drills to raise awareness. And at our Trendy Wakimachi, Trendy Plaza Kitajima, and Matsushige Oil Terminal, which are certified safety bases, we have equipped facilities that can prioritize refueling of necessary vehicles during a disaster event. In April of this year, the Wakimachi Filling Station became the core filling station, and we are now ready to contribute to the local community in disaster event, not only in personnel but also in terms of physical (equipment) resources as well.
