We’re building
a more sustainable world
with these three key concepts of

choose,use, andcirculate.

Why? We want to bring
comfort to
the earth and everyone on it.

For the world of menstruation, childcare, nursing care,
and living with pets that we have faced so far.
We’ve always eagerly listened to our customers,
striving to bring more comfort and ease to their daily lives.
Now, we’re taking bold steps to bring comfort to the earth as well.

Of course, this is no easy task.
How can we make things better for our planet
without compromising the ease and comfort of our users?
Because we make products that bring joy,
our solutions have to go beyond data-driven improvements or theoretical reforms.
They also have to bring that special charm that everyone loves.
We are thinking of moving forward into the future
while worrying together with everyone who uses are products.

That’s how we came up with our three key concepts.
We choose low-carbon packaging for everyday products, for example.
We reduce waste by using layered pads in our disposable diapers.
And we circulate and circulate materials collected from used diapers to make our RefF products, challenging the idea that “disposable” means “wasteful”.
Note: Not all disposable diapers can be collected for our RefF products

The result? A more comfortable life for you and for our planet.
Our sustainability starts with what we know.

Everyone's
Choose

When I choose a product,
I often look for
something that's a little different than what
everyone else is using!
So, when I first saw this product, I thought, "Oh, this looks a little bit different from the regular item," and became interested.
I always thought organic cotton would feel soft and gentle on the skin, but I was surprised to learn it’s also better for the environment!
I feel that going with your instinct when choosing will serve you better in the long-term than overthinking your choices.
And so my sense was that this just felt right for me.

I started using it after a friend told me that you can just flush it down the toilet!
To be honest, changing sanitary pads frequently is a hassle.
If you use this together, all you have to do is throw this away, which makes it so easy! That’s why I use it. It’s terrific!
After using it, I definitely feel like the amount of sanitary pad waste I have to dispose of has decreased.
I realized that by using the two together, you can actually reduce waste!
This is really exciting, and I want everyone to know about it!

I want to take good care of my pet, but my pet can’t stand even the slightest bit of mess.
However, throwing away the entire urine sheet feels like such a waste, so when I found this, I thought, “This is it!”
I honestly remember thinking how great this was.
Because I was always concerned about how environmentally unfriendly it is to just throw out the whole sheet.
I started using these straight away.

Deosheet Kireipad

By simply applying the pad over the pee marks on the sheet, your dog can comfortably continue to use the sheet urinate.
Reduces the amount of waste by approximately 25% compared to normal.

I thought you just throw
it away and that’s that,
but I was surprised to
hear about the
importance of what
happens afterwards.
I want my child to wear diapers that are clean and comfortable, so I tend to change them right away.
However, in this day and age, it doesn’t seem quite right to just keep on increasing the amount of garbage.
I know that the impact from a change in my behavior alone will only be small, but I still want to give it a try!
And, ultimately, the result will probably be more comfortable for child!

We want to do our part for a healthier planet!

In order to strive to contribute to the realization of the “Cohesive Society”,

we will make efforts in finding solutions to environmental and social challenges.

Underlying our three core commitments to healthier people, healthier communities,

and a healthier planet for the realization of the Cohesive Society are the Unicharm Principles.

Our new site goes into detail about our efforts to support the health of the earth.

In 2020, the Japanese government announced its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

Carbon neutrality means offsetting the production of CO2 and other greenhouse gases
with capture strategies like tree-planting and forest management to arrive at net zero emissions.

Unicharm is supporting
the government’s efforts
to heal the planet with a new vision.

Vision 2050 for zero CO2

Vision 2050 roadmap

Our interim 2030 environmental targets(announced in 2020)to achieving Vision 2050 and2030 results(reference year: 2016)

*The targets and results mentioned above are set on a per unit of sales basis.

For items that have achieved their goals, we have set even higher targets and continue to promote them as of 2024.

Description of activities

We can’t reach carbon zero without the help of our suppliers and customers!
That’s why we’re promoting CO2 reduction efforts across all of our procurement,
production, distribution,and sales processes with [A] ‒ [D] as themes.
