Environmental Contribution Activities / Environmental Communication
Basic stance
The survival and growth of companies is supported by resources such as energy and water generated by our Earth. At the Advantest Group we believe that protecting and nurturing the global environment that we benefit greatly from is a very important issue for environmental management, and we conduct our environmental contribution activities based on this belief. A wide variety of living beings inhabit our earth and enrich the global environment. It is essential for companies to efficiently use the resources the Earth has blessed us with so that sustainable development is achieved, and it is necessary for companies to fulfill their corporate social responsibility by helping preserve the diversity of the Earth's living things. The Advantest Group has clearly defined a stance of treating biodiversity conservation activities as a business goal and is conducting initiatives to this end.

Biodiversity conservation in the biotope
Nature observation event
Daruma bullfrog
The Advantest Group created a biotope on the premises of the Gunma R&D Center in April 2001 to provide a living space for a variety of living beings in an effort to live in harmony with nature. This biotope that features ponds, streams, and wooded areas is an attempt to bring back to life the traditional rural landscape of the Kanto Plain, and has grown successfully over the years. A multitude of living beings inhabit this biotope, including threatened or near-threatened species that are on the Ministry of the Environment's Red List, such as the Tokyo-daruma-gaeru (Rana [Pelophylax] porosa porosa, Daruma bullfrog) and Chusagi (Areda intermedia, intermediate egret).
The biotope is also used as a venue for communication with the local community, and we have worked to ensure that the biotope provides a useful role for a larger variety of people by organizing nature observation events for local elementary school children and presenting research themes to the Faculty of Social Information Studies at Gunma University.
In addition, the activities conducted at the biotope have been registered with the Birdpia initiative organized by the Japanese Society for Preservation of Birds, and the Group is now conducting activities based on this initiative
