During Environment Month we also will hold our Global Environmental Photo Contest and distribute our “Social Contribution and Environmental Activities Magazine.” The Photo Contest, now in its sixth year, attracted about 1,000 entries last year. The Magazine helps raise awareness of our global environmental and social contribution activities. In addition, in Japan, a book collection program will gather unneeded books from homes and workplaces and then proceeds from sales of the books will be donated to an environmental fund. Activities in other countries, including those for recycling and encouraging energy saving transportation practices, will be matched to the particular needs of specific communities.
In line with our Social IN and One Olympus initiatives, we must help to ensure the sustainability of the global environment by constantly enhancing our environmental and social-contribution activities with the help of all every Olympus employee. Please give us your support this Environment Month!
