Under the Sharp Group Policy on the Sustainable Support of Biodiversity, the Sharp Group carries out a multifaceted approach in which it protects biodiversity through business activities and social action programs at all worldwide bases.
Biodiversity refers to the existence of a variety of ecosystems, species, and genes. With the modern world’s environmental pollution, more and more species are becoming extinct and ecosystems are in danger. Since Sharp both affects and benefits from biodiversity, it is crucial that it protects and makes sustainable use of it in all of its business activities.
Based on the Sharp Group Policy on the Sustainable Support of Biodiversity, Sharp formulated detailed measures, the Sharp Biodiversity Initiative, in November 2009. The initiative’s aim is to ensure the protection and sustainable use of the world’s biodiversity through business activities and social action programs.
In addition, the Sharp Biodiversity Initiative explains the link between environmental measures and biodiversity. It is also used to monitor the progress of environmental activities. Sharp has detailed measures in each step of the value chain for ensuring that business activities exert minimal impact on biodiversity. And in social action programs, Sharp strives to continue carrying out activities that match the lifestyles and environment of each community and region.
Sharp will keep tabs on the progress made at each base and will share information across bases so that the entire Sharp Group can better protect biodiversity.
