Biodiversity

Creating environments where industry, lifestyles, and nature can coexist in harmony

AISIN is committed to biodiversity conservation based on a philosophy of building a prosperous society in harmony with the natural environment.

The Group's activities aiming towards biodiversity conservation include conducting environmental assessments and taking measures to prevent damage to the native ecosystem when building plants, and conducting regular surveys of the surrounding environment after construction in order to keep track of the state of local biodiversity. In addition, AISIN has built biotopes on the premises of some factories to create an environment in which local plants and animals can thrive.

Going forward, the Group will continue with its mission of creating environments where industry, lifestyles, and nature can coexist in harmony.

Biological Survey

Ecological survey on rare fish species

In FY2010, Aisin Development, a company active in such fields as construction, civil engineering and greenery businesses, conducted an ecological survey, based on prefectural guidelines, on fish species for a sewer construction project tender won from the Aichi Prefectural Government. This construction was conducted after having confirmed the non existence of rare species.

The AISIN Ecotopia, a hands-on environmental learning facility for children located on the premises of the Aisin Seiki Handa Plant, features the Ecotope, a biotope where children can interact with a variety of living creatures in a natural setting, and many other facilities. Developed and maintained through the cooperation of employees, local residents and NPOs, the Ecotope has cultivated a rich biologically diverse ecosystem.
