Our Views on Sustainability
Under our slogan “Creation of a more comfortable space on the Earth is what Iwatani wishes and strives for,” Iwatani strives to achieve solutions to the social challenge of environmental issues and to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by realizing a zero-CO2 society based on hydrogen.
Passed down through the generations as the underpinnings of all our business efforts, Iwatani’s corporate philosophy “Become a person needed by society, as those needed by society can prosper,” calls for continually pursuing satisfaction for society and for individuals. Symbolic of these efforts are the LPG and hydrogen businesses. LPG, which effected a revolution in home fuel use, has significantly reduced the amount of work required of homemakers in the kitchen and become a clean energy source essential to our lives today. Now in use for more than 80 years, hydrogen today is the driving force behind innovations across a wide range of fields; As the ultimate clean energy source, it is essential to building a sustainable society.
Iwatani will continue to contribute to achieving the SDGs and a sustainable society through our business activities.
