Lion has long taken the lead in addressing problems in the aquatic environment, such as stream foaming and eutrophication linked to the use of detergents, considering biodiversity at each stage from raw material procurement to disposal by consumers. To continue benefiting from the value provided by biodiversity into the future, we must work with local communities to protect biodiversity and utilize such value in a sustainable, non-depleting way. Furthermore, it is important that we contribute to the realization of a society in harmony with nature by encouraging changes in consumer lifestyles through biodiversity-friendly products.
To this end, Lion will contribute to the development of a sustainable society through its businesses by determining which natural resources are used in business activities and the impacts on biodiversity throughout the value chain. Based on this information, Lion will implement biodiversity conservation activities that help reduce risk and expand opportunities. Also, by having every employee participate in biodiversity conservation activities as part of our environmental education efforts, we are spreading awareness of this important issue throughout our operating sites.
The Lion Group has established a Biodiversity Policy as part of its Environmental Policy. Based on global conservation movement, such as that promoted by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the Group will strive to understand and disclose risks associated with biodiversity loss as well as how its entire value chain both depends on and impacts biodiversity. The policy also promotes the establishment of initiatives to stop biodiversity loss as well as to restore it.
