SATOYAMA & ESG AWARDS

The Japan Times Satoyama and ESG consortiums hosted an inaugural awards ceremony on Friday at Tokyo Midtown to recognize seven parties for their activities and contributions in their respective fields.

Tottori is the least-populated prefecture in Japan, but it is blessed with abundant nature, such as the country's renowned Tottori Sand Dunes.

We are greatly honored to receive the inaugural Japan Times Satoyama & ESG Awards in the ESG (environmental, social and governance) category.

Marui Group Co. promotes what we call Co-Creation Sustainability Management. With this policy, we aim to bring about an inclusive and flourishing society where all people can experience happiness.

We started our system of collecting used trays in 1990 at storefronts of six supermarkets. Thanks to the increasing understanding and cooperation of consumers, the number of collection locations for this initiative has grown to more than 9,200.
