The second Biotope Lecture Session Held for Employees
at Biotope Installed on Roof of Head Office(July 27, 2024)

The Kaga Electronics Group installed a biotope on the roof of the Kaga Electronics head office building (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) in July 2023 as a concrete action to address environmental issues such as reducing greenhouse gases. By providing a habitat and growing space for wildlife in an urban center where there are few natural environments and serving as a hub in the biotope network, the biotope is contributing to the conservation of biodiversity. It also serves as a place where Group employees can learn about biodiversity conservation and the protection of the natural environment, enjoy nature, and feel connected to living things.
A biotope was installed in July 2023 to provide a habitat and growing space for wildlife and to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity. Plants designated as endangered species bloom inside the biotope, making it a place where employees can learn about biodiversity conservation and the protection of the natural environment and feel connected to living things while enjoying nature.
Kaga Electronics also holds biodiversity-themed lecture sessions for children. External experts(NPO「birth」 Mr. Junichi Kubota) are invited to these lecture sessions, providing employees and their families with opportunities to learn about biodiversity while enjoying interacting with nature.
Kaga Electronics will work to raise employees’ awareness of nature and the environment through these kinds of opportunities.

Biotope Lecture Session Held for Employees
at Biotope Installed on Roof of Head Office (July 29, 2023)

The Kaga Electronics Group has installed a biotope on the roof of the Kaga Electronics head office building as a concrete action to address environmental issues such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative considers the conservation of biodiversity and the protection of the natural environment through the cultivation of plants and other organisms. It also creates an environment that facilitates species preservation and provides a friendly habitat for organisms.
In addition to installing the biotope, the Group invited an outside expert to hold a lecture session on biodiversity on July 29, 2023, aimed at promoting the conservation of biodiversity and the protection of the natural environment, as well as encouraging participants to enjoy nature and feel a connection to other living things. Employees took part in the session along with their families, including their children, providing them with an opportunity to have fun interacting with nature.
Kaga Electronics will work to raise employees’ awareness of nature and the environment through these kinds of opportunities.
