ADVAN ENG’S SDGsWe support the “Project on Connecting and Supporting Forests, Countryside, Rivers, and Sea” of the Ministry of the Environment

What is the “Project on Connecting and Supporting Forests, Countryside, Rivers, and Sea”?

“Forests,” “countryside,” “rivers,” and “sea” represent the blessings of nature supporting our lives, and are interconnected and affected by each other. However, excessive development and inadequate use or management of these elements have broken their connections and degraded the quality of each element. These adverse effects have also been worsened by such issues as climate change and population decline or aging, and are beginning to affect our lives. Under such circumstances, the Ministry of the Environment launched the Project on Connecting and Supporting Forests, Countryside, Rivers, and Sea in December 2014.

Its project name means “preserve forests, countryside, rivers, and sea and connect them,” but it is also important to involve people.
Each of us should change our mindset and attitude to support the forests, countryside, rivers, and sea.

Details of ADVAN ENG’s activities

Niigata City’s Umibenomori forest conservation (four times a year)

Umibenomori in Kita Ward, Niigata City is a coastal forest mostly consisting of Japanese black pine trees and has been designated as a shifting sand prevention forest and a public health forest . However, it has lost many pine trees due to a huge outbreak of pine weevils that began around 2011.
We conduct conservation activities such as weed removal to allow the pine trees to grow, and volunteer activities for improving the environment of the Umibenomori forest, which many people visit, four times a year.

Initiatives for internal greening

To help conserve the natural environment, we promote planting on the company premises.
Although not a huge environmental contribution, it is intended to raise awareness throughout the company.
