Contribution to Local Communities
■ Tanzawa Oyama Nature Restoration Initiatives (in Japan)
Anritsu joined the Tanzawa-Oyama Nature Restoration Committee in 2022 in order to contribute to the conservation of the natural environment and biodiversity of Mt. Oyama, which can be seen from the company's headquarters in Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture, as well as to contribute to the protection of water resources.
In the Tanzawa Oyama area, major changes in the ecosystem began to occur in the 1980s, including the death of fir and beech trees and the loss of forest undergrowth. In response to this situation, this committee was established by NPOs, companies, experts in nature conservation, and government agencies.
Anritsu Group employees have volunteered to take part in the tree-planting event “Corridor (Green Corridor) from Mt. Oyama” organized by the Committee and the Tanzawa Nature Conservation Society, and have planted over 600 trees.
