In 2025, MEGAVAX obtained certification under Yokohama City’s SDGs initiative, known as Y-SDGs. This program recognizes businesses that actively promote the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have also been registered as a “Kanagawa SDGs Partner,” working on multiple fronts through our business endeavors to contribute to the SDGs.
One key factor behind this recognition is our commitment to preserving and passing on Japan’s unique “unit bath” culture—a legacy that has shaped our company since our representative began his career as a unit bath assembler in 1985. Below, we spotlight a few of the initiatives that earned particularly high praise.
Business Initiatives Addressing Social Challenges
Experience the SDGs Through Our One-Day Bath Remodel: “1DAYS O-furo no 1DAY Reform”
As an Manufacturer-Authorized Installation Company for unit and system bath manufacturers, MEGAVAX offers the “1DAYS O-furo no 1DAY Reform” service, which completes demolition and installation of a new bath in just one day—minimizing environmental impact and inconvenience to homeowners.
What you might not realize is that this “1DAYS” concept is a powerful embodiment of the SDGs in action. A specialized on-site survey consultant gathers detailed data in a single visit, and our highly skilled, multi-talented craftspeople execute the construction seamlessly. This streamlined approach drastically cuts down on the travel required by workers and multiple contractors.
By doing so, we reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 90% compared to typical renovation companies—the annual equivalent of what roughly 16,815 cedar trees would absorb. We also use only hybrid vehicles for site surveys to further lower our environmental footprint.
Choosing MEGAVAX, a company whose “1DAYS” service is directly linked to the SDGs, could be your first step in experiencing the impact of sustainability firsthand. Through unit bath remodeling, we invite you to see how contributing to both the environment and society can be a tangible, rewarding experience.
Technology Transfer and Human Resource Development
Cultivating the Next Generation of “Bathers” (Certified System/Unit Bath Installers)
Through our internal project “Bathers X,” we host company events like “Bathers Meeting” to highlight the appeal of becoming a “Bather.” We’ve created a welcoming environment for younger individuals and career-changers from other industries to join an occupation where they can inherit valuable skills and flourish. For our existing Bathers, we offer support for certification, encourage multi-skilled development, and help build clear career pathways. In doing so, we address the industry-wide shortage of skilled workers and carry our specialized craftsmanship into the future, contributing to a more sustainable society.
Fostering a Workplace Where Diverse Talent Thrives
Nationwide Remote Participation—We Support Diverse Work Styles
Many women from across Japan join our team remotely, whether they are seeking to reconnect with society after marriage, childbirth, or child-rearing, or simply hoping to work in a field they love. Our inclusive culture rewards ideas and achievements regardless of tenure or location, creating a deep sense of pride and purpose in every team member’s role.
We also have flexible policies—like paid leave available in one-hour increments—so employees can adapt their work schedules around family needs, from attending school events to picking up children from daycare. As a result, more women continue their careers with us year after year, finding a balance that fits their lifestyles.
If you find yourself thinking, “That’s exactly my situation,” we invite you to explore a new way of working at MEGAVAX.
Looking Ahead
MEGAVAX remains dedicated to advancing our SDGs initiatives in collaboration with all our stakeholders to help realize a sustainable society. By preserving and evolving the culture of unit baths—and sharing its benefits with more people—we strive to enrich everyday life while conducting our business with a steadfast commitment to environmental and social responsibility. We look forward to continuing this journey together.
