Mitsui’s heritage of “Challenge and Creation” and “Freedom and Open-mindedness” is rooted in many years of history and tradition. Mitsui understands that it is vital for all its employees to embrace this heritage, and is committed to doing good work that not only benefits to company but also enriches all the people in the world.
MITSUI is Supporting a Tree-Planting campaign in Turkey.
We selected a Turkish environmental group, “TEMA Foundation”, who has dedicated to “Dry-lands Environmental Sustainability Integrated Research Areas (DESIRE) project thorough out the country, for the Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Environment Fund in 2006, was applied by 87 institutions including TEMA and our contribution will be up to USD 500,000 for their activity in 2006 and 2007.
It was first time we have donated to environmental groups outside Japan since we started this environment fund in 2005.
We believe that this contributes not only to their activity itself but also the future of this country and region through it.
The objectives of TEMA project DESIRE are;
To determine the results of the Erosion Control Project run in the 1960s by the Soil and Water Resources Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works and communicate its outcome internationally,
Create sustainable livelihoods activities including rain-fed crop and fodder production, and pastures rehabilitation through the lesson learned from Karapınar Erosion Control Station, in two neighboring villages with the participation of the local people,
Disseminate successful outcomes of DESIRE through the international I-DESIRE network component by promoting traditional methods, sustainability and replication of the project
Reference
TEMA Foundation has been established in 1992 to raise public awareness and to lobby for improving governmental policies to combat erosion and stop deforestation.
