Eastman considers the necessity of sustainability not only in the products, but also in the production sites (plants) and the manufacturing processes. We are moving ahead with the challenge of making the entire manufacturing process sustainable. The first step is expanding the number of sustainable plants. We are manufacturing forged fittings, truck and trailer parts.

Under the concept of creating plants that both make use of nature, while existing in harmony with the natural environment, production plants are being made sustainable by employing natural energy sources such as solar and wind power, and through environmental preservation by planting greenery around production sites. Energy conservation and resource saving activities are also being implemented, so that the plants can continue sustainable operation for at least 100 years. Furthermore, our logistic system and resource-recycling practices have an environmental focus.
