Protection of biodiversity
The ID Group uses the manatee, a marine animal designated as an endangered species, as our company mascot. By featuring our mascot in illustrations, LINE stamps, etc., we help raise awareness for the marine environment.
In recent years, the problem of microplastics has grown increasingly serious. Microplastics occur when plastic PET bottles, straws, and other products are broken down into small fragments, ultimately becoming marine plastic debris that has a negative effect on the marine environment. In order to reduce plastic trash and improve the marine environment, we encourage ID Group employees to use their own drink tumblers.
