Waste Management

Effective Use of Resources

Initiatives:Paper Reduction and Recycling

Orico is working to reduce the amount of paper used by promoting paperless meetings and digitizing documents. We are striving to improve the recycling rate by thoroughly sorting paper by type, such as office paper, magazines, newspapers, and cardboard boxes.

We reduce waste through internal reuse of reusable office supplies and the use of recycled toner for printers.

Conservation of Biodiversity and Water

Orico Forest Project

Through forest maintenance activities (e.g.; planting, undercutting, thinning) in forests owned by Chichibu City, we work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption.
Through this project, we aim to contribute to environmental conservation in Saitama Prefecture over the long term, while fostering environmental awareness among employees.

Social Contribution Cards

We issue various types of social contribution cards that support environmental conservation activities. These cards allow cardholders to donate a portion of their spending to affiliated organizations without incurring any additional cost. By using the card, we aim to solve social challenges such as environmental issues and work towards realizing a sustainable society.
