The Kinyo Group is taking a proactive approach in complying with REACH regulations and SVHC (substances of Very High Concern)

REACH is a European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. It came into force on June 1st 2007 and replaces a number of European directives and regulations with a single system.

REACH requires that we communicate with “downstream users” on our products and offer information that is relevant.

REACH has several aims

To provide a high level of protection of human health and the environment from the use of chemicals
To make people who place chemicals in the market responsible for understanding and managing the risks associated with their use.
To ensure free movement of the substances on the EU market
To enhance innovation and competitiveness into the EU chemicals industry
To promote the use of alternative methods for the assessment of the hazardous properties of substances.

Kinyo objectives
Kinyo are in the process of removing SVHC that are being used as plasticisers in the Rubber Product Industry.

These substances have been used in small quantities and although there is no legal reason at this point in time to discontinue using these substances we have an obligation to notify our customers of their presence and advise that we have a programme in place to manufacture all our blankets free of SVHC by the end of 2010

Doing business in Japan

The business meeting

When sitting down to a business meeting the seating arrangement will be determined by the status of the participants. Do not just sit anywhere, as a guest you will be directed to an appropriate seat.
As a general rule the highest ranking person from the host side will sit at the head of the table. Those of highest status will sit closest to the “head honcho”.
You should stand at your seat and wait for the top guy to tell you to be seated. Then when the meeting is finished, wait until he has stood up before standing up yourself.
