Creating a hopeful future

SDGs Promotion Project MIRAI for Earth
Earth-friendly actions for our future
As an organization-wide initiative, the Crestec Group is engaged in SDGs Promotion Project MIRAI for Earth.
We promote consumption of local produce and food literacy through hands-on agricultural experiences and workplace CSA programs.
Along with encouraging the efficient use of natural resources, we are building firm partnerships with regional communities to help build a future where both producers and consumers can live securely and sustainably.
Crestec Suzhou: Building a sound material-cycle society by operating a company farm
Crestec Suzhou has achieved eco-friendly circular agriculture on its own company farm, where pesticide-free organic vegetables are provided to the employee cafeteria, and food scraps and leftovers are repurposed as compost. In addition, through actions such as collaborating with nearby companies to hold harvesting experiences for families and creating partnerships with local farmers for land development and crop cultivation, they are activating the local community and growing a sustainable network that brings companies and residents together.
Agricultural support focused on the future of local communities
Guided by the concept of “supporting sustainable agriculture and primary industries while creating the future,” we engage in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) to cultivate an environment where both producers and consumers can live in comfort and security. With deep roots in Hamamatsu, home to Crestec’s corporate headquarters, we are actively building partnerships through meaningful corporate action, including disaster relief, donations to children’s cafeterias (Kodomo Shokudo), and employee participation in farm work.
