In commemoration of the Kobelco Group's 120th anniversary, we decided to enhance our support for environmental conservation activities as a way to demonstrate our commitment to developing business while embracing our relationships with local communities.
Out initial step is the participation in Kobe City's TREK KOBE project in Japan, with a view to expanding this effort both domestically and internationally.
We are considering launching environmental projects at some of our overseas Group companies in fiscal 2025.
We will work to raise awareness of our Group's environmental efforts by expanding our support to new activities, along with ongoing ones such as ECOWAY Forest.
Kobe City’s project TREK KOBE
Kobe is surrounded by the Rokko Mountains, the Tanjo Mountains, and a variety of other unique and captivating mountain ranges.
Climbing has always been popular in Kobe, where the city area is close to the mountains.
Since 2024, we have been participating in the TREK KOBE project promoted by Kobe City, and are contributing to the costs of improving the climbing environment on over 70 hiking trails in the Rokko Mountains, including safety measures for aging facilities, guide sign installation, and trail development and maintenance.
