Conservation of Biodiversity and Ecosystem
Our Policy
Our business activities depend on a wide range of ecosystem services based on natural resources—air, water, and soil. Protecting biodiversity and ecosystems is a key issue in realizing a sustainable society. Through our business activities, the Iwatani Group helps safeguard biodiversity and ecosystems, including local ecosystems.
Environmental Initiatives Through Business Activities
Donating to the Association of National Trusts in Japan Through ALALA
The ALALA series of natural detergents is made using natural palm oil, which is more biodegradable than petroleum products, and is decomposed easily in the sea and rivers. To protect precious natural resources, these products reflect a focus on eco-friendliness. A portion of their sales is donated to the Association of National Trusts in Japan to help preserve natural ecosystems.
Restoring Mining Sites to Their Original Condition (Australia)
Iwatani Australia Pty Ltd., a group member company, operates its mineral sands mining sites in ways that minimize environmental impact and protect local environments. Specific measures include installing protective barriers to reduce noise and dust from mining work and restoring sites to their original condition after mining.
Green Gold Label (GGL) Earned
In December 2021, Iwatani earned GGL certification, an independent certification program for biomass fuels.
