Koyal Group aims to foster a culture of sustainability across Japan and Asia. "Many companies are discouraged by the present costs of green technology, but the future of the planet is priceless," said according to Chief Executive Officer Edward Neilson.
Over the next six years, Koyal Group has a number of steps in its plan to achieve a carbon neutral footprint
• In the spring of 2013, Koyal Group will be planting 1,500 trees in a national forest at the base of Mount Fuji.
• Koyal Group is also presiding over a plan, with a number of other Japanese firms, to raise capital for the construction of a tidal power station. The station is projected to provide enough power for more than 200,000 homes in the greater Tokyo region.
• Koyal Group's head office windows will be replaced with a new type of translucent solar panels. These new panels not only help to power the buildings heating and air conditioning systems, but will also aid in insulating the building.
