Governments, corporations and citizens---everyone is responsible to the environmental problems today. Since each problem is not caused by a single player, it is crucial for us to cooperate to solve the problems; we need the corporations to manage and use their technologies in the right way, we need the governments to set rules and laws that match the environmental situation today. Now is the time that all the players in our society cooperate towards one goal - to build a sustainable future society.
We have been committed to work for environmental challenges for 25 years, which made us possible to carry out various projects covering the wide area; from environmental research to disaster relief activities, both nationally and internationally.
