Brother Earth
Brother Earth describes the company's positive attitude and commitment to communities and the planet. Brother's goal is to help build a society where sustainable development can be achieved. Brother will always take responsibility, act respectfully and try to make a positive difference.
Brother's environmental philosophy is simple:
* Constantly strive to reduce our environmental impact and help increase our efficiency.
* From design, development, manufacturing, usage and disposal, to reuse and recycling.
* The company carefully considers ways to help reduce the impact on the environment in each phase of the product life cycle.
* Brother aims at constructing a business structure which conforms to a recycling-oriented society, with the motto “Tomoiki (co-existence)”, the spirit of thinking that our lives are dependent on each other and nature's bounty.
The basic idea of environmental activities is represented by five keywords:
* Refuse - Avoid purchase of environmentally burdensome materials whenever possible
* Reduce - Reduce waste material
* Re-use - Re-use waste material without processing
* Reform - Re-use materials in a different form
* Recycle - Re-use materials as resources.
The 5R logo symbolises the environmental activities based on this concept.
