Initiatives for biodiversity

Recognizing the relationship between biodiversity and business activities, we are providing employee education at domestic Shindengen Group companies using an in-house developed original DVD in accordance with the eight Aichi targets outlined in the “Guidelines for Action by the Electrical and Electronic Industries concerning Biodiversity Conservation.” In addition, we are working on initiatives to protect the surrounding plant and animal habitats. One such initiative is protecting forests by using FSC-certified paper for documents such as for corporate brochures and product catalogs, and using Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee at the canteen.
Overseas Group companies actively participate in afforestation activities held annually by municipalities and local communities because it would be difficult to conduct such activities alone. They also endeavor to increase the area of green space and trees planted on their business premises and protect the plant and animal habitats in the areas surrounding their offices.
