Conservation of Biodiversity
In order to create a society in harmony with nature where ecosystems are properly preserved and we can enjoy the gifts of nature for the future, the Fujibo Group is working on the conservation of the environment of the Seto Inland Sea. We will contribute to the conservation of biodiversity through community participation in solving the plastic waste problem, donation to the Keidanren Nature Conservation Fund, and use of certified forest conservation materials, etc.
Investment in the Aquarium "Umitamago"
In interactions with local communities, our business sites and factories, which are surrounded by the rich ecosystem of the Seto Inland Sea, support biodiversity conservation efforts. We are involved in a variety of measures to safeguard the Seto Inland Sea's unique biota, such as investing in Marine Palace Co., Ltd., which manages the Aquarium "Umitamago" in Oita.
Our Efforts to Stop Marine Plastic Pollution
The Fujibo Group participated in the Japan Clean Ocean Material Alliance in 2018. This is an international business alliance project to solve marine plastic pollution, which is a global issue.
Member companies are required to properly manage waste, mainly to ensure prevention of plastics littering and to promote 3R technologies and development and dissemination of highly biodegradable alternative materials for plastic and paper products. In addition to promotion of eco-plastics, the Fujibo Group is working on biological conservation through the prevention of marine pollution together with various companies involved in the effective use of overall plastic products.
Donation to Keidanren Nature Conservation Fund
As a member of the Japan Business Federation (Keidanren), we agree with the purpose of the Keidanren Nature Conservation Fund. Furthermore, we provide support for conservation projects as a company and donations to a charitable trust, the Nature Conservation Fund, every year from the perspective of social contributions.
Our Efforts to Preserve Forests
The B.V.D. brand uses FSC-certified sub materials (tags). FSC is a national system to identify and certify products that are made following "proper forest management" for the purpose of sustainable use and preservation of forests. The B.V.D. brand has switched all of its tags to paper made from FSC-certified wood since 2020.
