Hagihara Industries and the Okayama Branch of The Norinchukin Bank (Branch Manager: Kazutoshi Matsumoto) concluded a partnership agreement on February 17, 2025 (the “Agreement”) for “resolving primary industry challenges.”
This agreement aims to contribute to a sustainable primary industry and regional revitalization through product development and demonstration experiments that address challenges in the primary industry.
Examples of the first phase of collaboration with forestry federation systems include new product development to resolve challenges in primary industries, promoting sound forest management using J-Credits in the Takahashi River basin that we use for industrial water, and securing sustainable water sources through conservation of forest resources (= conservation of ecosystem services).
Both parties will continue to collaborate to resolve social issues and contribute to nature positivity by achieving a carbon-neutral society and creating a recycling-oriented society.
