● Preserving Environments
Renewal of a town as a habitat for Japanese cranes
We support preservation activities for Japanese cranes, a species endangered by reclamation and overhunting.
We give contributions to Naganuma, Hokkaido, which is setting up the environment that lovingly accepts and watches over Japanese cranes, renewing the town in a way that preserves its rich natural environment. We contribute part of the mailing cost and service charge saved by the electronic exercise of voting rights by our shareholders. Thanks to the cooperation by 7,155 shareholders, we donated 715,500 yen in fiscal 2024.
・ We co-sponsored the film, ''The Miracle Crane Dancing in Yumeno.''
The Miracle Crane Dancing in Yumeno'' is a documentary film that depicts the seven-year effort to bring back Japanese cranes, an endangered species, to the town. Japanese cranes disappeared from Naganuma Town, Hokkaido over 100 years ago. ITOCHU ENEX and ITOCHU ENEX HOME-LIFE HOKKAIDO co-sponsored the film, and call for the coexistence between nature and humans.
