Environmental Communication
Principle and Outline
Realizing a low-carbon or decarbonized society requires not only individual companies but also society as a whole to have heightened environmental awareness and take action toward energy conservation. The Daigas Group is engaged in various activities to raise the environmental awareness of its employees and provide the general public with environmental education through exhibitions and other events. The Group also supports and participates in the activities of various environmental and economic organizations. We are also active in providing children, as next-generation leaders, with opportunities to learn about energy and the environment, such as outreach classes.
Employee Environmental Education, Participation in Organizations
Various events during the Environment Month
Every year in June, designated as Environment Month, employees of the Daigas Group engage in various environmental activities. Among them are energy-saving efforts at offices, environmental preservation activities, environmental education both inside and outside the Company, and participation in regional environmental events such as cleaning activities. By participating in these activities, each and every employee comes to recognize the great connection existing between his or her activities, and their impact on the environment. Environmental activities during the month provide Daigas Group employees with opportunities to recognize the importance of continuing efforts to build an environmentally harmonious society.
