Initiatives for Biodiversity

The Fujikura Group's initiatives

The Fujikura Group aims to become a corporate group that is friendly to both people and the global environment. As a means to attain this goal, we have established and begun to apply the Group's guidelines on biodiversity conservation this fiscal year. Biodiversity refers to the diversity of ecosystems, species and genes. All creatures on Earth are directly or indirectly connected with and supported by each other based on biodiversity, which brings about many blessings such as rich ecosystems, and also supports our lives and daily living. Each and every employee of the Group is expected to be keenly aware of this fact and to conduct their business operations in line with the Group's guidelines on biodiversity conservation.

Newsletters and supporters of the Fujikura-Kiba Millennium Woods

Recruiting "supporters" for the Fujikura-Kiba Millennium Woods

In November 2010, we opened the Fujikura-Kiba Millennium Woods in the center of Tokyo, an area where few places exist in which people can enjoy nature. For this bio-garden, the Fujikura Group CSR Committee carried out in-house recruitment of "supporters," whose role would be to help protect and develop the garden. To employees selected as supporters from among the many applicants, we regularly send the garden's seasonal newsletter.

The Fujikura Group's guidelines on biodiversity conservation

  • 1.In formulating a business plan, we will give due consideration to the impact that the implementation of the plan might have on relevant ecosystems, both overseas and in Japan, and to local communities.
  • 2.Regarding our products, installation work and services, we will procure materials in an eco-friendly manner and give due consideration to the environment (through LCA and reducing the amount of substances of concern).
  • 3.We will work to treat and recycle waste generated by our business activities, including wastewater and waste oil, in an appropriate manner, and will make contributions to the conservation of local ecosystems by conducting environmental beautification activities.
  • 4.We will foster communication and cooperation with NGOs, NPOs, educational and research institutions, local governments, and other organizations for the expansion of biodiversity.。
  • 5.We will educate and enlighten all employees on nature and the environment toward the creation of a society that nurtures biodiversity.

The Fujikura Group's commitment to biodiversity conservation

  • 1.We will give priority to the introduction of native and indigenous species in our greening activities.
  • 2.We will work to circulate the water that is used, including reusing purified wastewater from manufacturing processes to support agriculture and biological organisms in water ecosystems.
  • 3.We will conduct biodiversity conservation and greening activities in close cooperation with local communities based on the model of the Fujikura-Kiba Millennium Woods.
  • 4.We will participate in the Japan Business and Biodiversity Partnership.

Bio-garden "Fujikura-Kiba Millennium Woods"

Creating an oasis in the center of Tokyo "Fujikura-Kiba Millennium Woods"

Fujikura-Kiba Millennium Woods is a biotope garden (bio-garden) located adjacent to the head office of Fujikura Ltd in November 2010. We created this nature-rich garden for local communities in response to requests for greening that were made to us by local schools and local inhabitants and after receiving special support from local administrative agencies. The bio-garden extends over 2,200 square meters and consists of two ponds connected by a brook, a floating island, and a promenade. It is designed to reproduce a part of the rich forest that existed on the Musashino Terrace several hundred years ago. We named the garden the "Fujikura-Kiba Millennium Woods" in an effort to protect this natural reproduction long into the future in cooperation with local inhabitants.
