■Efforts for Biodiversity by Suzuki
1Policy
The year 2010 was a year biodiversity was focused on,
such as with the declaration of International Year of
Biodiversity by the United Nations and the holding of COP10
in Nagoya. In order to pass on to the next generation
a clean environment, Suzuki also acknowledges the
importance of biodiversity such as by putting efforts into
forest conservation activities and cleanup activities, in
addition to the measures for global warming, resources
recycling, and reduction of environmental impact
substances that have been performed during conventional
business activities or product development.
