NANKAIグループ環境ビジョン2030
[Basic Policy]
地球環境に関する課題認識を発展させ、幅広いステークホルダーへの社会的責任を果たすことでNANKAIグループの持続的成長に資することを主旨とする。
Therefore, based on the recognition that contributing to the resolution of environmental issues through all business activities will lead to increased corporate value, the company has established an environmental vision that is linked to its medium-term management plan.
Among environmental issues, we will focus on the three that have the greatest impact on our group's business activities - "global warming," "recycling-oriented society," and "biodiversity" - as well as the "environmental management system" that underpins these. By backcasting from the direction we should aim for in 2030, we will formulate action measures for each fiscal year.
By expanding revenue sources through environmental businesses and collaborating with local governments, we will contribute to improving not only business value but also the environmental value of the areas along the railway line.

concept
The design is based on the motif of green leaves, which symbolize the "eco" aspects of the tree-planting activities that our company is involved in. The characters are based on the image of a vehicle and its driver, and represent the image of the vehicle continuing to run in harmony with nature.
phrase
This is a coined word that combines "eco," which refers to environmental conservation, with "motion," which refers to activities undertaken together by our company, customers, and the local community. To this, we added the meaning of "locomotive," which represents our company as the driving force behind these activities, to evoke the image of active and connected environmental activities.
