Keidanren Initiative for Biodiversity Conservation
We support the Declaration of Biodiversity by Keidanren and participate in its initiatives.
The "Keidanren Initiative for Biodiversity Conservation" consists of companies and organizations that are committed to more than one of the 7 items listed in the "Declaration of Biodiversity by Keidanren and Action Policy (Revised Edition)", or support the overall objectives of the initiative.
We have been promoting initiatives to preserve biodiversity by, for example, developing and releasing idle land owned by the Group in Hokkaido as "NIPPN Shikinomori". We also provide financial support to the Keidanren Nature Conservation Fund. We will continue to strengthen our efforts in accordance with NIPPN's "Basic Policy on Biodiversity."

NIPPN Shikinomori Forest
The "NIPPN Shikinomori" project is an initiative promoted by the NIPPN Group to conserve biodiversity and prevent global warming. The project began in 2011 to gradually develop and release idle land owned by our group company NIPPN SOLUTION Co., Ltd. in Fukagawa City, Hokkaido, into a forest where people can enjoy nature in all four seasons, and to make it a model case for ecosystem conservation.
Local citizens participate in the annual tree planting festival, planting Sargent's cherry trees, Japanese rowan trees, and other trees.

Raw Material Cultivation
Our group company, NAGANO TOMATO Co., Ltd. manufactures and sells processed tomato products such as tomato ketchup or nametake (cooked enoki mushroom) products made from enoki mushroom grown in Nagano Prefecture. Among its products, its tomato juice "Shinshu Born of Delicious Tomato" uses 100% Nagano Prefecture made tomatoes in order to promote local production for local consumption.
In addition, as part of our efforts to promote CSR management, we assign new employees to harvest tomatoes every summer to make them aware of the significance of their social contribution. We will continue to engage in activities with an awareness of CSR management.
