      Contributing to ongoing energy conservation measures

    As a part of our measures to reduce energy consumption at Fields, we are continually engaged in power-saving initiatives and sustainable procurement, as well as separating and recycling trash.

    (1) Power-saving initiatives

    (2) Sustainable green procurement initiatives
    When making purchases of copy paper or office supplies, we are careful to purchase products which have a lesser impact on the environment.

      Collecting stationary
    Collecting stationary

    Fields is collecting stationary that is no longer being used but is still usable, and is working through NGO Jiyu-Jin Foundation to do charitable work with children in Vietnam and Cambodia.

    One of Jiyu-Jin Foundation's principles behind its activities states, "We provide 'continuous support' rather than 'temporary assistance.' We mainly help to lead to fundamental changes in the future, such as improving literacy rates and academic progress, through long-term educational support."
    The activities supporting education through the re-use of stationary products by the local children are linked to the elimination of the educational inequality created by poverty, which we believe will lead to brighter futures for the children. It is work we will continue into the future.
