Initiatives for Biodiversity Conservation
SHI Group believes that neither are economy nor society is able to flourish without our natural resources. As we address climate change and economic management including environmental pollution prevention, we have promoted initiatives aimed at conserving biodiversity. In our preparations for TNFD approval, we have initiated efforts to fully comprehend the relation between our business activities and biodiversity, and compiled examples of initiatives at all levels of SHI Group’s business processes.
"Forest of Inspiration" in Tanashi Works
About 30% of the site area of the Tanashi Works is composed of forests, and there are about 4,500 trees of 40 kinds. We preserve this forest from the viewpoint of environmental conservation and biodiversity conservation, and also open it to the public by designating it as an "Forest for Ideas." In addition to being a place for citizens to relax, it serves as a local disaster evacuation site and a space for academic research on biodiversity.
