I believe that humans are part of the ecosystem. My hobbies include mountain climbing, hiking and traveling. I believe that people's instinctive animalistic sensibilities and behavior in the overwhelming wilderness is what we should be like. From this perspective, I would like to learn more about the relationship between nature and people. I believe that we can deepen our understanding by learning about the lifestyles and traditions of people who live in harmony with nature, as well as the impact and dependence of corporate activities on biodiversity.

Recent Activities
I am researching biodiversity and natural capital and corporate activities. I am researching the future of TNFD (Nature-related Financial Disclosure Task Force). Local nature is a local resource and asset. I am also researching nature-based local development and SDGs. In manufacturing and procurement, it is important to consider not only the environment but also social aspects such as human rights and labor, and I am also interested in how to ensure sustainability.
