Project Aeon Joining Hands

1. Tohoku Reconstruction Hometown Forests Program

In addition to regenerating coastal forests damaged by the tsunami, we are planting trees at shrines and community plazas that serve as a place of refuge for residents. We also promoted the planting of grapes, yuzu, and other trees for the purpose of industrial creation and commercialized them.
We have planted 110 trees in 10 years, bringing the total number of trees planted to 319,897.

2. Volunteer employees dispatched to disaster-stricken areas

Starting with the removal of rubble in the affected areas and cleaning up the houses, as the reconstruction progressed, we worked closely with the local residents and promoted their activities through such means as assisting in the revitalization of agriculture.
Over the past 10 years, the number of dispatched employees has reached 123, and the number of participating employees has reached 4,112.

3. Aeon people across Japan support Tohoku

Each company has developed various activities based on the desire of employees to "support the disaster area."
In addition, since 2016, we have been promoting the "Future Co-Creation Program" to support the resolution of regional issues, helping to revitalize the region.
A total of 414,515 employees participated in reconstruction support activities, including tree planting activities.
