Since SDGs were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015, interest in various social issues such as environment, welfare, education and poverty has increased.
Profit-seeking companies are no exception.As can be seen from keywords such as environmental management, sustainability and ESG investment, business and social compatibility are now required.
However, this trend has only become active in recent years.For example, if you look back 10 years ago, only a few companies thought about contributing to society.
Against this backdrop, there is a research and development venture that has been working to create a society in which "unutilized resources" such as discarded agricultural products are recycled and circulated using fermentation technology since its foundation in 2009."That is Farmen Station Co., Ltd., which has ""Fermenting a Renewable Society!""" as its perpas."
Representative Director Sakai Rina has a unique background in which she studied fermentation technology at Tokyo Agricultural University after gaining a career in various companies, mainly in the financial industry.When it was founded, there was no market at all and people around it didn't understand the business.
Then, in April 2010, Oshu City started a demonstration experiment called "Regional Circulation Project to Make Ethanol and Feed from Rice."I was involved as a trustee at the Farmen Station, which had already started about nine months ago, and repeated various challenges.
"From now on, we will enter the field of ""bio-monodzukuri,"" which is considered a growth field in Japan, accelerating investment on a global scale while increasing joint research and development with major companies and technology licenses."Our challenges are finally being met by the world.
Farmen Station aims to create a world in which "unutilized resources" are used as a matter of course.In order to realize this purpose, it is necessary to collect various information such as environmental problems and social issues every day and continue to grow up while constantly learning.
In order to make the company grow even faster, we will carefully select members who will sincerely commit to our business with the mindset of challengers.Especially those who have business development experience in the cosmetics and materials fields or new business experiences can make full use of their knowledge.
