Nippon Steel has affirmed the Declaration of Biodiversity by Keidanren and Action Policy of the Japan Business Federation and has accordingly been taking initiatives on biodiversity preservation. We also participate in the 30by30 Alliance for Biodiversity, established by a coalition of volunteers from governments, companies, and NPOs, contributing to the vitalization of nature positive efforts through these activities.
