Supplementary Explanations

The term “biodiversity” refers to the interconnection (ecosystem) of the abundant individuality of living creatures. Efforts are currently underway to conserve and sustainably utilize biodiversity within an international framework provided by the Convention on Biological Diversity, which came into effect in 1993.
Like climate change, biodiversity is simultaneously a global issue and a phenomenon characterized by diverse local characteristics. The azbil Group’s business partners are therefore asked to make community- and society-based efforts to conserve biodiversity in a way that is fitting for local characteristics. Such efforts can include implementing climate change countermeasures (such as conventional energy conservation activities), recycling and reusing resources, and conducting environmental conservation activities in partnership with the local community.
