SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability and our approach to the SDGs

Carrying resources and value forward.

Through buying, redistributing and exporting used cars, used heavy machinery and construction equipment, STOCK LLC works to make good use of finite resources and to contribute to the development of society and industry both in Japan and abroad.

A vehicle or machine may have finished its working life in Japan, yet there are countries and regions that still need it. We find new value in each individual vehicle and each individual machine, and deliver it overseas through proper servicing and distribution. We regard this not as the mere export of secondhand goods, but as a business that keeps resources out of the waste stream and circulates their value to the next place.

Drawing on long experience in used vehicles and machinery and on our overseas network, STOCK will continue to conduct its business responsibly, in pursuit of a sustainable society.

The sustainability
we are working toward

STOCK incorporates the SDGs and other international thinking on sustainability into its business activities, and pursues the following seven commitments.

01SDGs

Contributing to a sustainable society

By reusing used cars, used heavy machinery and construction equipment and redistributing them properly overseas, STOCK contributes to the realisation of a sustainable society. Rather than scrapping vehicles and machines that still have plenty of service in them, we deliver them to the regions that need them, extending their working life and putting resources to good use.

As those vehicles and machines go to work in construction, logistics, transport, agriculture and infrastructure abroad, they also support local industrial activity and economic development. Our aim is to be a company whose business, in itself, builds a more sustainable society.

02Circular Economy

Toward a circular economy

One of the ideas STOCK holds most closely is this: do not discard it — circulate its value. A used car or machine can generate substantial value all over again once its owner and the region it works in change.

By building sound distribution — buying, sorting, servicing where needed, selling and exporting — we keep the value held in each vehicle and each machine alive for as long as possible. From Japan to the wider world: connecting what is no longer used here with the places that need it supports both the effective use of resources and the formation of a circular society.

03Environment

Environmental commitment

We regard caring for finite resources and reducing environmental impact as an important corporate responsibility. Reusing used cars, heavy machinery and construction equipment means relying less on the manufacture of new products and making existing assets last longer.

  • Promoting reuse of used vehicles and machinery
  • Effective use of resources
  • Waste reduction
  • Reuse of parts and machinery
  • Proper recycling
  • Business activity mindful of environmental impact

Through these, we aim to coexist with the environment, and to meet our responsibility for the environment of the future through our day-to-day operations.

04Human Rights

Respect for human rights

STOCK respects fundamental human rights in all of its business activities. We do not discriminate unfairly on the basis of nationality, age, gender, culture or social background, and we respect the dignity of everyone involved in our business — employees, customers, suppliers and overseas partners alike.

We do not tolerate forced labour, child labour, discrimination, harassment or any other infringement of human rights. We build responsible relationships with our partners in Japan and abroad, and promote respect for human rights across the whole supply chain.

05Compliance

Compliance and responsible export

As a company moving used cars, heavy machinery and construction equipment across borders, observing the law and operating transparently is fundamental to how STOCK works. We comply with the applicable laws and regulations and are rigorous about proper sourcing, proper verification of vehicles and machines, and proper export procedures.

Where a transaction may involve unlawfully obtained vehicles or machinery, illegal dealing, or a breach of sanctions or export controls, we carry out appropriate checks and conduct international trade responsibly. For STOCK it is not only about selling, but about who we buy from, where it goes and how it will be used.

06Governance

Sound and transparent management

Remaining a company that is trusted over the long term requires proper corporate governance and transparent management. STOCK complies with the applicable laws, maintains appropriate internal controls, and conducts business honestly and fairly.

We also work on the proper handling of personal and corporate information, information security, prevention of misconduct, appropriate treatment of conflicts of interest, and the exclusion of any relationship with antisocial forces. To remain trusted by every stakeholder, we will continue to manage the company soundly and responsibly.

07Social Contribution

Contributing to society and industry, at home and abroad

The used cars and construction equipment STOCK sends from Japan go to work across many industries around the world. Transport, logistics, construction, agriculture, mining, road maintenance and infrastructure development — they can play an important part in local life and local economies.

Circulating the value built into Japanese vehicles and machinery supports business activity abroad and helps create new economic activity and employment. STOCK aims to be more than an exporter: a company that connects Japan with the world and keeps assets and value in circulation, contributing to the development of society and industry both here and overseas.

What STOCK values

From discarding
to putting to use.

There are people in the world who need vehicles and machines that still have life in them. A car whose working life has ended in Japan becomes a car that creates new work abroad. A machine no longer used here becomes the machine that builds a road, a building, an industry somewhere else.

This circulation of value is what STOCK cares about. Drawing on the experience and the network we have built, we give each vehicle and each machine new value and deliver it where it is needed.

Responsible
Business

Toward a sustainable future, through responsible business.

Caring for the environment. Respecting human rights. Observing the law. Managing the company fairly and transparently. And continuing to run a business society actually needs. All of it, we believe, is what makes a company sustainable.

The SDGs, the environment, the circular economy, human rights, compliance, governance, social contribution — we do not treat these as separate initiatives, but build them into the daily running of the business.

From Japan to the world. Carrying value forward.

Through the reuse and international distribution of used cars, used heavy machinery and construction equipment, STOCK LLC carries resources and value on to the next generation. Treating finite resources with care. Wasting none of the value in any single unit. Sending Japan's assets out into the world. STOCK will continue to conduct its business responsibly, in pursuit of a sustainable future.
