Beyond Ecology ― Support for Future Generations
abt has set 'beyond ecology (Beyond Ecology)' as its activity concept for the fiscal year 2026.
Environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss are deeply interconnected with various domains such as food, health, local communities, economy, and peace. abt has supported citizen activities and research addressing issues that affect future generations, not limited to the framework of environmental conservation, while considering the connections with society and daily life.
Through the corporate donation program, abt aims to support such future-oriented initiatives and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society where nature and humans coexist.
'Beyond Ecology (Beyond Ecology)' ~ Supporting those who create the future of the environment.~
Message from the General Manager, Takuya Kitabatake
We have launched a new activity concept called 'beyond ecology' on the occasion of our 15th anniversary. While using the environment as an entry point, we are exploring better ways of society than ever before. We believe that the role of corporations is very significant in addressing global challenges such as climate crises and biodiversity loss. By combining the strengths of corporations, which have deep ties with society and regions and possess diverse resources and insights, with citizen groups and regional leaders, the power to change the future will greatly expand.
We would like to carefully connect with corporations, explore concrete and effective collaboration, and together support those who continue to challenge in the field.
