"Congratulations on receiving the CO2 Absorption Certification
under our prefecture's program," Kazuhiro Tarama, Director of
Environment Department, Okinawa Prefectural Government said at the
ceremony. "We, Okinawa prefecture,
expect the Okinawa Prefecture CO2
Absorption Certification Program will encourage society to plant
and grow trees, thereby promoting tree planting activities that
contribute to creating more carbon sinks. With your two projects, a
total of six tons of sequestered carbon were certified, which
brought our cumulative total carbon offset to 2,220 with a total of
32 projects. We are grateful for your understanding and support for
our certification program, which aims at creating more carbon sinks
through tree planting activities. We appreciate transcosmos for
your proactive engagement in tree planting activities in the
Yaese-cho sports tourism exchange facility. Okinawa prefecture will continue to carry out
initiatives under our two key programs - promote carbon forest sink
initiatives and create an urban environment full of flowers and
greenery - stated in the Fundamental Plan for the New Okinawa 21st
Century Vision. Thank you very much again for your continued
support for our initiatives."
"transcosmos first received ISO14001 certification in 2011.
Since then, every department has been working towards achieving
their own environmental targets," Kiyoto
Onodera, Division Manager of Service Division Ⅷ, DCC Sector,
CX Business Headquarters at transcosmos said. "As part of our
initiatives, we launched an afforestation program from the previous
fiscal year to make our employees realize the importance of
environmental conservation through experience. Tree planting in
Yaese-cho was transcosmos's first corporate-wide project. We
believe that receiving the certificate from Okinawa prefecture for the project will give
us strong motivation for future activities. We will grow and care
for the hikanzakura and azalea trees while doubling down on our
future tree planting activities. Thank you very much for your
continued support."
