Sustainability
Yutaka is a leader in sustainable business, committed to environmental stewardship at every level — from our eco-friendly products and responsible production methods to our sustainable supply chain. We strive to make a positive impact on both our local communities and the global environment through thoughtful and people-focused business practices.
TRADE COMPLIANCE
Yutaka adheres to all export procedures and regulatory controls for restricted items across every country and region. Our dedicated trade compliance team ensures the safe and efficient import and export of high-quality products, supported by CTPAT certification for supply chain security and in-depth knowledge of USMCA regulations, reinforced through ongoing training.
ENVIRONMENT
Yutaka is committed to reducing environmental impact through material recycling, lowering energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and managing chemical substances across our supply chain. We joined the Department of Energy’s Better Plants program in 2016 and M2030 in 2018 to set, monitor, and achieve ambitious energy-saving goals. As of 2025, we have improved our energy efficiency by 17% toward our 25% reduction target, using 2020 as our baseline.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Yutaka is committed to ethical and responsible business practices. We do not knowingly provide products that contain raw materials linked to human rights abuses, bribery, ethics violations, or harmful environmental impacts. We respect all human rights and work in collaboration with industry action groups to address key issues such as forced labor, responsible material sourcing, chemical management, and environmental sustainability.
To support these efforts, Yutaka prepares detailed reports on mineral usage and conducts rigorous due diligence to trace the origin of raw materials. We also engage closely with our suppliers to ensure ethical and sustainable sourcing throughout the supply chain.
GOVERNANCE
Yutaka follows established policies and employs performance tools such as risk assessments, SOX reporting, and questionnaires to proactively monitor operations and identify potential issues.
SAFETY
At Yutaka, health and safety are core values. We are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace and ensuring that all associates, customers, contractors, and visitors are protected through the consistent practice of safe work procedures.
DIVERSITY
As a global company, Yutaka values collaboration as a driver of innovation. We believe that a diverse supply base strengthens our business and supports our commitment to building a more sustainable future.
COMPLIANCE AND ETHICS
Our policies and practices are designed to ensure that all stakeholders are treated ethically in every aspect of our business. We maintain trust by conducting our operations with transparency, integrity, and strict adherence to the laws of the regions in which we operate.
CYT Commitment to Responsible Mineral Sourcing and Supply Chain Transparency
CYT is dedicated to maintaining transparency and ethical responsibility throughout our supply chain. We use industry best practices to identify smelters and refiners, ensuring traceability of mineral origins in our products.
We are committed to sourcing minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas in a manner that respects human rights—including child rights—and protects the environment. While we do not ban minerals from these regions outright, we require that all sourcing complies with internationally recognized standards. A total ban could unintentionally harm local communities who rely on mining for their livelihoods.
We support efforts to improve mining practices and expect responsible conduct at every stage of our supply chain.
Our suppliers must provide documentation to identify smelters and refiners involved in their mineral supply chains and conduct due diligence in line with CYT’s standards. If we identify serious violations such as forced labor, child labor, or involvement with armed groups, we will take appropriate actions, including potentially ending our relationship with the supplier. For less severe issues, we will work with suppliers to address risks and expect measurable improvements within six months.
CYT is committed to ongoing communication and training to help our suppliers uphold responsible sourcing practices and continuously improve supply chain transparency.
