The Relevance of the SDGs to the Business of Macrophi
We are engaged in the business of providing LPS (lipopolysaccharide) to the healthcare industry as a functional raw material that activates innate immunity safely, securely, and inexpensively, based on research and development in collaboration with government and academia. LPS enhances the innate immunity of humans and animals, thereby improving health, especially in the prevention of emerging infectious diseases and reducing the use of antibiotics. In addition, we promote the development of environmentally friendly products, and our LPS raw materials for cosmetics are COSMOS certified.
■3. Good health and well-being
→03. Prevent new infections.
- We are contributing to the maintenance of human and animal health by providing LPS, a functional raw material that activates innate immunity in a safe and secure way that does not go against nature.
- Innate immunity is a function that protects against infection even in the absence of antibodies. By providing LPS, we support the body's ability to resist emerging infectious diseases.
- Innate immunity plays a fundamental role not only in infectious diseases but also in waste removal, metabolic regulation, and natural healing. We will contribute to the extension of healthy life span by providing LPS.
- By providing LPS to the feed industry, we will reduce the use of antibiotics to prevent infection in livestock and aquaculture, inhibit the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and contribute to the conservation of the natural environment.
■5. Gender equality.
→05. Toward a society in which men and women can participate equally in all decision-making
- Two-thirds of our employees are women, and we encourage working styles that suit each individual's lifestyle, regardless of age or gender.
■8. Decent work and economic growth
→05. Providing joy of work and just compensation to all people
- Equal pay for equal work" is applied.
■9. Industrial, innovation and infrastructure
→05. Let's increase the number of researchers and R&D expenditures for technological innovation.
- All executives and employees participate in research and development.
- Through support and collaboration with the “Technology Research Association of Control of Innate Immunity,”, we conduct joint research and development with customers and universities, and disseminate academic information.
- Through support and collaboration with the “NPO Innate Immune Network”, we conduct seminars and educational activities to improve immune literacy.
■12. Responsible consumption and production
→04. Significantly reduce the release of chemicals and hazardous wastes.
- Our LPS raw materials for cosmetics are manufactured using environmentally friendly ingredients, and all of which are COSMOS certified.
