Last summer, 47 SEKISUI employees’ children with high environmental awareness – including 10 European participants – met in Narita near Tokyo to get a deeper understanding for the significance of nature. The 7-day-event offered the participants a wide range of different activities e.g. there were guided tours of group business facilities and they learned about biodiversity and scarcity. Finally the children presented recommendations for a better environment and President Koge promised to take these ideas into a declaration regarding environment protection.
