  • Initiatives to Achieve the SDGs

The SDGs, referred to as the Sustainable Development Goals, are a set of common goals for international society. Adopted in 2015 through unanimous consent of 193 members of the United Nations, the SGDs are comprised of 17 goals and 169 targets to be achieved worldwide by the year 2030. It aims to realize a sustainable, diverse, and inclusive society where no one is left behind.

At Torishima Group, we are committed to achieving
the SDGs as part of creating a sustainable world.
From among the 17 goals and 169 targets,
we have identified and are actively pursuing issues in our business domain.

Torishima, partner of World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development

As a global leader in pump technology, Torishima is proud to be an official partner of UNESCO's World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED) 2025. This year-long campaign celebrates the vital role of engineering in shaping a sustainable future and achieving the 17 SDGs. In particular we focus, for this case, on SDG 6 and our actions in relation to supporting access to clean water

Gerry Ashe

Director, Deputy CEO

"Water is an essential resource for life and the sustainability of the planet. At Torishima, our pumping technology enables efficient water management at every stage of the cycle, from catchment to purification and supply.

Contributing to SDG6 is part of our identity and commitment to society. We are proud to join in the celebration of World Engineering Day, highlighting the crucial role of engineering in solving the world's water challenges."

End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

Ensure availability and sustainable management
of water and sanitation for all

We contribute to forming a sustainable water cycle through the supply of pumps for water infrastructure.

  • Water purification plants (intake water from rivers, lakes, groundwater, etc., and treat it to drinking water levels)
  • Water pumping stations (pump clean water to municipalities and households) Sewage treatment plants (treat sewage from households, factories, etc., to a safe state and discharge into rivers and the ocean)
  • Seawater desalination plants (intake seawater and pass it through reverse osmosis (RO) membranes using high-pressure pumps to produce fresh water)

Pumps for water intake, transfer, distribution, supply etc

Pumps for sewage transfer, sludge etc. (sewage treatment plants)

Pumps for rainwater drainage(rainwater drainage facilities)

Pumps for seawater intake, filtered water, RO high pressure, seawater intake, water transfer. (desalination plants)

Recognized as a GNT (Global Niche Top) company for RO high pressure pumps

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable
and modern energy for all

Our high technological capability allows us to offer a full lineup of pumps for thermal power plants and pumps for renewable energy (geothermal, biomass). In addition, we develop pumps for ammonia and hydrogen, which are expected to be next-generation energy sources, and enhancing the functionality of our products to contribute to a stable supply of power plants.

For all pumps, the latest CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis is applied to improve pump efficiency, thereby reducing power consumption and CO2 emissions

Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation

Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe,
resilient and sustainable

We contribute to infrastructure building by providing EPC and pumps for water and wastewater facilities, as well as pumps for power plants and seawater desalination.

Using proprietary technologies, we have developed pumps to combat climate change and contribute to building cities more resilient to flood damage.

We provide IoT and AI-based smart maintenance services to address the issues of population decline and technology succession at pump facility sites.

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

We contribute to measures against climate change through our Go Green with Pumps activity, informing people that they can significantly reduce power consumption and CO2 emissions by reviewing the specifications of their pumps.

We are developing new pumps for clean energy sources that do not emit CO2, such as ammonia and hydrogen.

We contribute to disaster prevention and mitigation by offering pumps for climate change countermeasures to protect stormwater drainage pumping stations from flooding.

Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

In line with Sustainable Development Goal 3 Health and Wellbeing, our company promotes a healthy and safe working environment for all employees globally. We encourage balanced eating habits, support access to medical services and health checks, and implement infection prevention and control measures in our offices.

In addition, we recognise the importance of mental health and provide resources and support for the emotional wellbeing of our employees.
