Promoting tree planting

We intend to reuse developed land adjacent to the Yamaguchi Division to grow, process and sell olives, creating new jobs in the local area. Olive trees are evergreens with many leaves, so are expected to absorb CO2 all year round. In April 2021, we held an olive tree planting ceremony to launch our CO2 reduction program. More than 50 people, including employees’ families, attended and planted 80 olive trees. We planted a further 212 olive trees in November, and plan to plant more than 1,000 over the next three years.
