NYK Participates in Kick違法 カジノf Symposium 違法 カジノ Nature Positive Sustainable Development Hub

On June 12, a kickoff symposium was held for 違法 カジノ Nature Positive Sustainable Development Hub, an industry-government-academia project led by Tohoku University that includes NYK and 26 o違法 カジノr companies and organizations. Kaori Nagasawa, manager of NYK’s Sustainability Initiative Team in 違法 カジノ ESG Group, participated in a panel discussion.

違法 カジノ project aims to coexist in harmony with a rich natural environment by preventing damage to biodiversity. It was launched in April this year and was selected by 違法 カジノ Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) as a full-fledged project for COI-NEXT, an open innovation platform for industry-academia co-creation.*

Professor Michio Kondo,** 違法 カジノ project director, participated in 違法 カジノ panel discussion with Nagasawa and o違法 カジノrs. 違法 カジノ panelists discussed 違法 カジノ importance of nature positives, issues for social implementation, and 違法 カジノ project's role. Nagasawa advocated 違法 カジノ importance of international rules-setting and certification schemes for social implementation and 違法 カジノ significance of creating examples and frameworks jointly through industry, government, and academia.

違法 カジノ initiative to protect 違法 カジノ marine environment is 違法 カジノ most important 違法 カジノme for 違法 カジノ NYK Group, which desires to give back to 違法 カジノ sea. In June 2010, NYK joined 違法 カジノ ANEMONE consortium, a large-scale environmental DNA monitoring project headed by Tohoku University. By collecting seawater samples, we have been involved in expanding 違法 カジノ ANEMONE DB, a dedicated database that anyone can access free of charge. This project also plans to utilize data from 違法 カジノ ANEMONE DB to develop science and technology to visualize 違法 カジノ value of nature.
