To realize a society where each and every one can continue to 'live' by utilizing renewable energy

Fostering self-sustainability in the Village* is crucial to ensure the essential needs of the community are met and that future generations can continue to thrive in the region. This will also have a positive impact on the relationship between urban and rural areas. Additionally, we aim to provide solutions to overseas regions facing similar social issues, in order to become "GLOCAL" - creating a "GLOBAL (world) from a LOCAL (region)". This approach will help us build a sustainable society from the local community.
 
*Please note that we use the term "Village" when describing a concept known as "Genkai shuraku".
This concept refers to villages that are incapable of supporting themselves independently, hence making them non-sustainable.
