Our corporate vision is “To creatively use the latest technology to manufacture and deliver the most advanced rolling stock vehicles for safe, comfortable and reliable transportation”
Environmental responsibility is a constant consideration in the design and manufacture our Rolling Stock Vehicles. In addition, for our broader corporate activities, we place importance on creating company systems that are environmentally friendly. Our entire company, including our group partners, have consistently been awarded the ISO14001 certification.
We have established and maintained an environmental management system, and we keep promoting new initiatives that improve upon existing measures. We enacted our own environmental policy to serve as the framework for these initiatives.
Moving forward, we will raise the level of environmental awareness among each employee. We will unite efforts to eliminate waste and reduce energy consumption. All of this as part of our corporate efforts to eliminate unnecessary costs and conserve energy and resources.
In all corporate activities related to the design, planning, and production of rolling stock, we will establish specific environmental objectives and goals. We will promote concrete plans of action, review these as necessary, and carry out ongoing improvement efforts, for the conservation of the environment.
01
Our employees and partner companies promise to supply the world with environmentally-friendly rolling stock vehicles and to contribute to improving the environment.
02

Designing and Manufacturing Rolling Stock with Limited Environmental Impact
Major Environmentally-focused Initiatives based on Our Environmental Policy
There has been increased concern regarding environmental issues, and various measures in far-reaching industries and fields have been adopted in an effort to conserve energy and reduce greenhouse-causing CO2 emissions as we work to stop global warming.
Our key product, rolling stock, has a dramatically lower output of CO2 emissions when compared to other means of transport in the transportation sector and is recognized as an incredibly energy efficient vehicle. For example, the amount of CO2 emitted in transporting a single person one kilometer is one-seventh that of an automobile, one-fifth that of an airplane, and one-third that of a bus. The energy consumed is also one-eleventh that of an automobile, one-tenth that of an airplane, and one-fourth that of a bus*1 leading many to revisit the use of railways as an important measure in reducing our environmental impact.
At Kinki Sharyo, we promise to continue employing the rolling car technology we have acquired over the years as we move forward. We will also launch new R&D efforts as we work to produce a more environmentally-friendly lineup of rolling stock.
