In partnership with the Keidanren Nature Conservation Fund charitable trust, Sekisui Chemical Group cooperates in the nature conservation activities of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) underway in Japan and around the world. Already it has provided support for 71 projects in total over a 12-year period. Utilizing the network it has built up with nongovernmental organizations, it has held meetings at group facilities to report on the activities of NGOs receiving aid and its employees proactively take part in meetings between businesses and NGOs as well as international conferences on nature conservation. Main activities now underway in partnership with NGOs include forestry conservation activities conducted at various locations in Japan and revitalization activities for terraced rice fields. In addition, children's summits are being held in local communities together with the Ramsar Center Japan (Society of Wetlands and People).
