Nissui Con Receives Water Cycle ACTIVE Company Certification

Nissui Con, headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo and led by President Shinji Nakanishi, has been re-certified as a "Water Cycle ACTIVE Company" in the 2024 registration and certification program run by the Cabinet Office. This designation highlights Nissui Con's ongoing commitment to water circulation initiatives, continuing its active role since last year.

Background of the Certification Program

The registration and certification system was established in July 2024 to encourage corporate engagement in water circulation practices. It aims to enhance transparency by officially recognizing companies interested in or actively practicing efforts that contribute to water recycling. The certification is divided into two categories: "Water Quantity and Quality" for direct contributions to water management and "Human Resources and Funding" for indirect contributions through investment in people and resources. Nissui Con has excelled in the latter and has been commended for its initiatives in human resources and financial support related to water recycling.

Aoshita Forest Project: A Green Initiative

One of the key initiatives contributing to this recognition by Nissui Con is the Aoshita Forest Project. Located in Kumakane, Aoba-ku in Sendai, this project is a collaboration between private enterprises and the city aimed at preserving and nurturing the forest that serves as a crucial water source for the region. Since joining the project in 2020, Nissui Con has actively participated in various activities within its designated area, the "Nissui Con Forest of Enrichment," focusing on planting trees, thinning existing trees, and constructing birdhouses to support local wildlife.

Commitment to Sustainability

Looking forward, Nissui Con is committed to continuing its efforts to support watershed conservation as part of its broader contribution to establishing a sustainable society through water-related projects. The company recognizes the importance of ecosystems in maintaining water quality and quantity, and it plans to expand its activities to further enhance the effects of the Aoshita Forest initiative and similar projects.

In conclusion, Nissui Con's recognition as a Water Cycle ACTIVE Company not only underscores its leadership in the water-related industry but also highlights its dedication to environmental sustainability. As the challenges related to water resources continue to grow globally, Nissui Con sets an example of how collaboration and community-focused initiatives can create a positive impact.
