What is Green Management Certification?
The “Green Management Certification” is an environmental conservation standard promoted by the “Traffic Ecology and Mobility Foundation,” established with the cooperation of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and funded by the Nippon Foundation.
It certifies and registers businesses that are implementing initiatives above a certain level based on the Green Management Promotion Manual, which includes promoting proper waste management and recycling.
