Waste Management ASP (Application Service Provider) Business
The "Venous" waste management system
Since Japanese law now places the responsibility for clearing up industrial waste with the corporation that originally discharged the waste, no corporation can afford to ignore the possibility that they could be held liable. Currently, industrial waste management revolves around the requirements of the written industrial waste manifest. In order to make the operation and supervision of such waste management more reliable, Sojitz developed the "Venous" waste management system and provides an ASP service. The ASP service is already used by a wide variety of industries and entities, including the steel industry, papermaking industry and the automobile product associations. In this way, Sojitz has been supporting appropriate environmental management and more efficient waste control at companies and organizations.

Accordingly, Sojitz activities in healthcare include not only sales of medical equipment, but also development of IT-based service businesses as our priority strategy, such as management and operation support for healthcare facilities, optimization of the healthcare supply chain, and preventive medicine support for clients in medical facilities.
