Greater equipment rental use is linked directly with the preservation of our environment
Rental is a service that enables customers to use equipment through “time sharing.” So rental can be called an environmentally-friendly business, because increased rental use means more effective utilization of the earth's limited resources. Consequently, rental equipment is linked to energy savings and resource conservation by society, and can be viewed as one solution to environmental problems.
To help more people gain better insight into these environmental efforts by the Company and see how Kanamoto’s businesses are environmentally friendly, Kanamoto participates actively in various environmental events throughout Japan with environmental action and ecology themes.
Responding to needs and shifting assets compatible with environ-mental conservation
At Kanamoto, we view consideration of the global environment as an important obligation for fulfilling our social responsibilities as a corporation. For many years, the Company has been implementing a systematic shift of rental assets to models that clear anti-pollution statutes for exhaust gases, noise and other emissions. As a result, today nearly all of the Company’s rental construction equipment portfolio consists of the latest environmentally-friendly models that clear anti-pollution regulations.
The Company will fulfill its responsibility to protect the environment even as we meet user needs. This is just one part of Kanamoto’s green actions. In the years ahead, Kanamoto will actively continue to upgrade its inventory to equipment that utilizes “green technologies.”
Aggressive introduction of fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicles, even for corporate automobiles
The Company has actively introduced automobiles certified as fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicles for its own fleet, in addition to our inventory of rental construction equipment.
Kanamoto selected hybrid automobiles as its corporate vehicles soon after the start of mass production in 1998. Since then we have continued to upgrade our fleet to these and other fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicles.
