Environmental protection is essential to business success!

I am Yoshida, president of Yamada Shusei Ltd., a professional apparel garment repair group in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture.

 

Again, I will introduce his words from “Warren Buffett In His Own Words” (edited by David Andrews, translated by Fumiko Ishii).

 

「 I believe Pascal said something like this. 'If there is the slightest possibility that God really exists, it is better to act on the assumption that He does exist. Because while we can expect immeasurable benefits from doing so, we may also experience eternal suffering if we disregard God.'

 

In the same way, if there is even a one percent chance that the global environment is truly headed for a dire situation, and that delays in action could lead us past the point of no return, it would be foolish not to take action. Let's call this Noah's Law. If an ark is essential to your survival, start building it today, no matter how clear the skies are.”」

Warren Buffett is a firm believer that environmental protection is critical to business success. He states that conducting business in an environmentally friendly manner is not only the way to achieve customer satisfaction, but also the way to build long-term competitive advantage.

 

This concept is highly compatible with our business model, which is to reduce garment losses by upgrading B products to A products, thereby making better use of resources.
