Contribution to SDGs
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015, are a set of goals to achieve a sustainable and better society by the year 2030, consisting of 17 goals and 169 targets.
Hironorin is committed to contributing to the achievement of the SDGs and the realization of a sustainable society through its three business pillars and will work to ensure that everyone can enjoy a "truly affluent life.
We are committed to organic farming and produce diverse and healthy foods.
We grow a wide variety of crops, such as yam, shiitake mushroom, olive, and other crops that are useful for improving health and effectively utilizing the difference in temperature between mountainous areas. We prepare the soil with bark manure, humus, and smoked charcoal, and use organic fertilizers to ensure sustainable production that is friendly to both nature and people.
We will improve the problems of nature destruction.
Planted cedar and cypress forests, which were planted as a policy measure after World War II, account for 40% of Japan's total forests, and many of these forests have been neglected and devastated, resulting in increased animal damage and natural disasters. By improving forests through self-thinning forestry, we can protect the ecosystem of mountains and rivers, and increase the value of wood as an energy source. We are also proposing new ways to create forests.
We will provide unique and high-quality support for educational activities
Nature is a resource that is open to all. There is a lot to learn and a lot of joy to be had from carrying out production activities in it. We would like to share the experience of production in nature and new agricultural and forestry technologies with as many people as possible, while cherishing the connections between people.
We create a wide range of jobs regardless of gender or nationality by revitalizing diverse industries
What we can do in the wilderness is not limited to agriculture and forestry. We will be involved in a variety of industries that lead to a comfortable life in the countryside. In this way, we will provide an open workplace for all people and create rewarding employment.
We will expand our business by forming corporate alliances globally.
We believe that the revitalization of a region always comes from a perspective that looks both locally and globally. While striving to gather information, we will flexibly adopt agriculture and forestry technologies that do not exist in Japan from overseas. By opening up our region to the world at large, we will build global partnerships.
We aim to increase the population of depopulated areas by proposing a comfortable lifestyle
If there is a comfortable living environment, people will want to live in even a small village. Nowadays, with the increase of remote work, a certain distance from the workplace is not as much of a problem as it used to be. We aim to make the countryside a place where people want to continue to live by providing a comfortable living environment.
