Promoting Biodiversity

Yokogawa is actively contributing to the environment in the community, in such areas as environmental protection and biodiversity.

In an empty lot, which was left after part of the building was torn down at the headquarters campus, an artificial hill was made by planting a green lawn and plants. The artificial hill has 37 types of plants such as serrata oak, sawtooth oak, and storax, which are designed in the image of the woods in Musashino. In addition, the azaleas planted along the walkway bloom in the spring, welcoming visitors.

In the city of Musashino, where Yokogawa Electric's headquarters is located, there are approximately 2,000 large trees in the city designated as “environmentally protected.” It is under a program called "2000 Large Trees/Symbolic Trees Plan", which has been in place since 1994. Fifty large trees within the premise of Yokogawa Electric's headquarters have been designated under this program and are protected as such.

Since 2009, Yokogawa has been a participant in "Tokyo Greenship Action," a collaborative effort among the city of Tokyo, local NPOs, and businesses to conserve and revive the woodlands in the hills of Tokyo, and contribute to their biodiversity.
