Environment

We are engaged in forest conservation to restore the functions and cycles of forests, preserve sustainable and healthy nature for future generations, while fostering environmental awareness among employees.

The concept of this project is to present nurseries and kindergartens near Company business sites with cozy wooden building blocks for enhancing the children’s creativity through block play, which are made of Japanese cypress comes from forestry thinning operations mainly in Hayakawa-cho, located in the prefecture of Yamanashi, where we carry out our forest conservation activities.
In addition, we have been engaged in “Employee Presenter Program” through which our employees hand out a set of forest wooden building blocks to nurseries and kindergartens of their choice (usually choice from their childhood memories) through internal donation funds.

Through OISCA, we are supporting activities in eleven countries, including Thailand and Indonesia, where children plant and grow saplings on school grounds to foster a love of nature and promote greening of the earth.

We plant native species in the factory premises and remove non-native species in the surrounding area as part of our biodiversity conservation activities.
