How Asahi Kasei Bioprocess Promotes Sustainability

Sustainability at AKBA

Since its founding in 1922, sustainability and innovating for the betterment of society have been key themes in the growth of Asahi Kasei Group, as well as with its subsidiaries including Asahi Kasei Bioprocess America. AKBA plays a significant role in contributing to life and living for people around the world.

Sustainable Society

As we grow, we continue to strive for two mutually reinforcing aspects of sustainability: by creating value for “contributing to sustainable society”, we seek to gain “sustainable growth of corporate value” which enables us to make further contributions in a virtuous cycle. To achieve this, we practice the following:

  • Value creation through contribution to sustainable society
  • Responsible business activities
  • Empowerment of personnel

 

Here at home

At a more local level, Asahi Kasei Bioprocess has made significant improvements to is operating space near Chicago, IL, in pursuit of achieving sustainability goals – including incorporating greener solutions into our 25,000 sq. ft. expansion:

  • Designed in windows high on factory walls to bring in natural light.
  • Installed all LED lighting in new manufacturing spaces utilizing a Daylight-Harvesting System – this system monitors natural light and senses occupancy, only illuminating if the combination of low-light and occupancy exists.
