Environmental Conservation Activities


Forest Conservation Activities

The 花蜜直播app Group undertakes forest conservation activities in cooperation with NPO Academy of Natural Environment in Machida City, Tokyo and NPO Hyogo Mori no Club and NPO Kami Forestry Research Club in Ono City and Taka Town, Hyogo. Employees and their families actively engage in these activities for the protection of forests, which serve as the habitats for a wide range of living organisms.

Tokyo

In fiscal 2020, we became a participant in the Tokyo Green Ship Action, with employees and their families continuing to take part in forest conservation activities (clearing undergrowth) in Machida City under this campaign.

Hyogo Prefecture

Since December 2008, we have implemented activities as participants in a Hyogo prefectural corporate forest restoration project. These activities began in Taka Town and, with the expansion to include Ono City from fiscal 2020, employees and their families can now get involved in forest conservation activities (tree trimming, clearing undergrowth, and tree planting) in two locations.

Environmental Education through Forest Conservation Activities

We carry out forest conservation activities, such as forest development and experiential learning, every year to provide opportunities for thinking about the environment.

Fiscal 2024 Achievements
Activity contents Aim Date
Nature observation
(Machida, Tokyo)
We held the event with the aims of facilitating interactions with nature and learning more about the importance of forests. This event allowed participants to observe how the precious golden orchid is being protected. October 5, 2024
Insect hotel building
(Ono, Hyogo)
(Taka, Hyogo)
We used waste materials (wooden pallets) from Akashi Works to build a hotel for insects as an apparatus to encourage them to gather, since their disappearance would greatly disrupt ecosystems and have significant repercussions for human life. April 19, 2024
April 13, 2024
Wooden (tree branch) pencil making
(Taka, Hyogo)
We used branches from 10 different types of trees from tree trimming during reforestation activities to make one-of-a-kind pencils, with participants also learning about the colors and characteristics of the different tree trunks. November 9, 2024

Participation of trainees from Akashi Technical Training School in reforestation activities

On April 19, 2024, trainees from Akashi Technical College participated in reforestation activities as part of their in-service training. During this program, they learned about environmental management activities and biodiversity conservation activities at Akashi Works in classroom sessions. The trainees also participated in an activity to build insect hotels (wooden boxes in which insects can live), performed tree trimming work, and planted 36 acorn saplings under the guidance of the Hyogo Forestry Management Cooperative Union and the Hyogo Mori no Club. Participation in these reforestation activities allowed trainees to develop their teamwork skills through mutual communication and cooperation with fellow trainees while instilling in them a sense of ownership in considering what they can do to contribute to environmental conservation.

Topic

Cooperation in a Promotional Event for Corporate Forest Restoration

The 花蜜直播app Group’s reforestation activities were exhibited at a booth during the “Let's Play with Wooden Toys!” event hosted by Hyogo Prefecture. This event is held regularly by Hyogo Prefecture with the aim of providing opportunities for people to get hands-on experiences of the various merits of trees by interacting with toys such as building blocks made from wood produced in the prefecture. For this event, 花蜜直播app’s achievements were therefore introduced as an example of corporate contributions to reforestation at Aeon mall Kasaihojo in February 2025 and Aeon mall Akashi Shopping Center in June 2025. On November 12, 2024, we gave a presentation as a speaker at a “corporate forest restoration” workshop hosted by the Kansai Economic Federation, introducing the 花蜜直播app Group’s environmental initiatives and specific reforestation activities to the 20 participants from 14 companies and organizations which are considering taking part in the corporate forest restoration project. We endorse Hyogo Prefecture’s concept of “forest restoration with the participation of all prefectural citizens” and actively take part in related events to promote and popularize the corporate forest restoration project.

Initiatives at Akashi Works

Conservation of Rare Species Utilizing Biotopes and Biodiversity-Conscious Landscaping

Akashi Works was the recipient of a donation of denjiso (“water clover”) from Akashi City in July 2023. Denjiso is an aquatic plant designated as Category A on the Akashi City Red List of endangered species, and Akashi Works is currently conserving the donated plants in a biotope on its grounds. Every year, from spring through summer, clusters of leaves resembling four-leaf clovers appear on this plant. In February 2025, the Mayor of Akashi City undertook an inspection tour of the conservation status of the denjiso as well as the plant’s biodiversity-conscious initiatives to date, which the Major acknowledged with words of praise and admiration for 花蜜直播app’s biodiversity conservation activities prioritizing harmony with the local environment and community. Akashi Works are furthermore currently working to renovate the biotope in cooperation with civic groups and the Akashi City authorities with the aim of conservation of this locality’s unique ecosystems. The plant also newly planted flora native to Akashi City under the guidance of specialists and utilized timber from tree felling during corporate forest restoration activities in fencing for the flower beds. The use of timber is also a policy being promoted by the Japanese government from the perspective of carbon fixation, with this initiative representing an attempt to utilize waste materials from corporate forest restoration activities within the plant. We will continue to promote local community-based environmental conservation activities.

Winners of the Special Prize, Akashi Flower Bed Competition

Since 2020, 花蜜直播app has participated in an annual flower bed competition organized by Akashi City. In 2025, we were awarded the Special Prize at this competition for our model of the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier, the SUISO FRONTIER, which we developed and built, with the flower bed using formwork and stones to convey a sense of three-dimensionality and dynamic energy. The flower beds are also prepared each year with a view to making them visually pleasing for members of the local community by heaping soil to create slopes. We will continue to actively engage in environmental activities within the local community and contribute to the conservation of biodiversity.

Initiatives of Seishin Works

Maintenance of a Biotope

Seishin Works has maintained a biotope within the plant grounds since November 2023. Every year, swallowtail butterflies visit to lay their eggs on mandarin orange trees in the grounds, from which caterpillars grow. Water lilies also bloom in the biotope, with minami-medaka (“Japanese rice fish”) swimming around them. Seishin Works will continue to develop this biotope toward the conservation of the diversity of biological organisms and ecosystems within its grounds.

Initiatives of the Okinawa Office

Participation in Team Tyura Sango

Since fiscal 2015, many of our Group employees have participated as volunteers in the activities of Team Tyura Sango, which are aimed at the regeneration of coral reef through the planting of coral seedlings in Onna-son, Okinawa Prefecture. In fiscal 2024, a total of five activities were held. These Team Tyura Sango activities were awarded the Grand Prize at the Third Annual Good Life Award, sponsored by the Ministry of the Environment in December 2015.
