Handling Environmentally-Friendly Products

We actively handle environmentally-friendly products by promoting the planning and development of items using wood sourced with consideration for forest conservation, and by offering products made from sustainable materials.

Sustainable Office & Showroom Design

In our offices and showrooms, we actively utilize local materials, waste materials, and recycled resources to promote environmental sustainability.

Resource Recycling and Waste Reduction

We are actively working to reduce plastic usage by replacing vinyl shopping bags used in our showrooms with paper bags. In addition, tiles that would otherwise be discarded are donated to technical high schools specializing in architecture and interior design, where they are used as teaching materials, contributing to the development of future professionals in the industry. We also reuse tile samples as novelty items, further promoting waste reduction.

Carbon Offset Initiatives

We aim to contribute to a sustainable society by offsetting approximately 2,000 t-CO₂ (equivalent to about 10 years) of greenhouse gas emissions expected from future business expansion. This is achieved through the purchase of forest-based J-Credits certified under the national J-Credit System. Note: The J-Credit System is a government-certified program that quantifies and certifies reductions or absorption of greenhouse gases, such as CO₂, through initiatives like energy-efficient equipment installation and forest management.

Work Style Reform

An inclusive work environment is promoted for all employees, regardless of gender, race, age, or nationality. Recognition includes a Two-Star Certification under the “Osaka City LGBT Leading Company” program. Flexible work options include telecommuting, flextime, Premium Fridays, approval for side jobs, a relaxed dress code, and encouragement of paternity leave. Health-conscious measures, such as no smoking during work hours and bicycle commuting, further support employee well-being.

Sponsorship Support

Sponsorship is provided to teams that embrace a spirit of challenge and aim to grow from local to national levels.

Free Product Support During Natural Disasters

miratap provides free replacement products or equivalent items to customers who have previously purchased our products and are affected by natural disasters. This initiative began as a way to give back to the many people who supported us during the hardships following the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.
