● Participation in the Tenryu River Environmental Picnic

In conjunction with the Tenryu River Environmental Picnic (sponsored by the Nagano Prefectural Industrial Promotion Organization), which flows through the Iida district of Nagano Prefecture, we are picking up trash along a tributary of the Tenryu River and cleaning up the area around our workplace.
With the participation of volunteer employees, we are continuing our efforts to protect the local natural environment by walking around the workplace for about an hour, collecting trash and eradicating burrs.

● Participation in Environmental Volunteer "Mabechi River Cleanup Campaign"

We are participating in the Southern Aomori Prefecture Environmental Volunteer "Mabuchi River Clean-up Operation." This activity is organized every year by the local "Mabuchi River Lovers Association" with the cooperation of local government agencies and surrounding businesses, with the aim of "cleaning up the Mabechi River, which flows through southern Aomori Prefecture, and leaving a region blessed with clean water and beautiful nature for future generations." We work with local residents to walk along the Mabechi River, picking up trash and working to beautify the surrounding area.

● Participation in the Hachinohe Hightech Park Clean Operation

We are participating in the "Hachinohe High-Tech Park Clean-Up Campaign," which cleans up Hachinohe High-Tech Park, where our Hachinohe First and Second Factories are located in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture. This activity is sponsored by Hachinohe Intelligent Plaza Co., Ltd., the management company of Hachinohe High-Tech Park, and is held with the aim of carrying out environmental beautification activities together with the various companies within the park and promoting mutual exchange. We have been participating since 2000. Our group companies not only pick up trash on the premises, but also maintain walking paths and trim tall branches.

● Participation in "Environmental Action Week"

Tamagawa Seiki is a member of the “Regional ISO Study Group,” a coalition of local government and businesses in the Iida-Shimoina region of Nagano Prefecture, and collaborates with the community on environmental initiatives. We regularly participate in the "Environmental Action Week" organized by the study group.This initiative aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from households and enhance environmental and health awareness through simple actions.

● Bamboo forest maintenance work

As a local company, we are cooperating in efforts to maintain the bamboo groves that grow on both banks of the Engozawa River, which flows near our Head Office and First Plant (Iida City, Nagano Prefecture).
Bamboo has grown abundantly along both banks of the river for approximately 1 km, deteriorating the landscape and posing problems for the local area, such as illegal dumping of garbage. Furthermore, Madake (true bamboo), which makes up much of the bamboo grove, was cultivated extensively during the Meiji period as agricultural material, but demand has now declined and it is no longer suitable for consumption, leading to the problem of erosion of satoyama (village woodlands) across the country.
