イホシロ窯では、企業活動を通じて社会課題の解決に積極的に取り組んで参ります。
Ihoshiro Kiln will actively work to solve social issues through our corporate activities.
陶磁器産業は、土を千数百度で焼くためにエネルギーを多く使う産業です。イホシロ窯では太陽光発電設備を設置しております。
The ceramics industry is an energy-intensive industry, as clay is fired at more than 1,000 degrees Celsius. Ihoshiro Kiln has installed a solar power generation system.
一般的に焼成のためのエネルギーはガスですが、電気を使用することで二酸化炭素の排出量の抑制につとめています。
Generally, gas is used for firing, but by using electricity, we are trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
土や釉薬などの原材料のほぼ100%を産地内で調達するなど地産地消を心掛けております。原材料の運搬時にかかる二酸化炭素排出量の抑制に寄与しております。
We are committed to local production for local consumption, procuring almost 100% of our clay, glaze, and other raw materials from within the production area. This contributes to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation of raw materials.
現在、従業員のほとんどが女性です。子育てと仕事を両立できる働きやすい会社を目指しており、労働環境の整備に取り組んでおります。
Currently, most of our employees are women. We aim to be a company that is easy to work for, where employees can both raise children and work, and we are working to improve the working environment.
「健康で仲良く」働ける職場を実現するため、「残業時間ゼロ」、「有休消化率100％」を目標に取り組んでおります。また冷暖房完備で快適な環境のもと、心地よい音楽を聴きながら集中して仕事に取り組める環境作りをしております。妊婦さんが出産間近でも働けるように配慮したり、子育て中も子供や家庭の事情に合わせた柔軟な出勤時間を設定したりすることで、長く働き続けることができるような環境づくりに努めております。
In order to realize a “healthy and friendly” workplace, we are striving for “zero overtime” and a “100% paid leave utilization rate”. In addition, we are creating an environment where employees can concentrate on their work while listening to pleasant music in an air-conditioned and comfortable environment. We strive to create an environment that allows pregnant women to work even when they are about to give birth, and also allows employees to work flexible hours to meet the needs of their children and families while they are raising them.
