FY 2016 Kinki Regional Development Bureau Director's Award

Recent major efforts FY 2016 Kinki Regional Development Bureau Director's Award

In recognition of our tree planting activities at the Sakai 7-3 district industrial waste disposal site since FY 2010, which helped to improve the environment of Osaka Bay, NTT West Group was recommended by the Osaka Prefecture Port Authority to Kinki Regional Development Bureau and was awarded the "FY 2016 Kinki Regional Development Bureau Director's Award" by Kinki Regional Development Bureau (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism).

This honor will be an encouragement for us to continue advancing our efforts in environmental conservation through the Midori Ippai Project together with the local communities.

A joint effort by the residents, NPOs, corporations, governments and other groups, NTT West Group has been taking part in the maintenance of the "Forest of Symbiosis" since January 2011. This is an activity to plant trees in an area of about 100 hectares inside the Sakai 7-3 district industrial waste disposal site to create an environment that enables animals and plants to live on the true power of nature.

This project, named "Midori Ippai Project," is a plan implemented by the head office as a symbol of our biodiversity conservation activities which aims to involve participation by 10,000 people yearly across the 30 prefectures in western Japan. The top management also participates actively in this project.
With the hope that the saplings planted will grow healthily and develop into a wide expanse of green forest, we also engage in activities to maintain the areas such as removing weeds in the surroundings as well as non-native species.
With the soil enriched through the "Forest of Symbiosis" activities, we look forward to seeing synergetic effects such as purification of the air and improvement in the quality of seawater and river water.

We also hope that the award that we received from Kinki Regional Development Bureau will provide a good opportunity to raise the awareness of more people toward biodiversity conservation as well as to widen the network of the global environment protection activities.
