Hamamatsu Plant Recognized as Outstanding Greening Plant
The Hamamatsu Plant is located in an abundant natural area, surrounded by forests, mountains and farmland. Consequently, since its construction the plant has undertaken to coexist with the surrounding environment, and greening efforts have been promoted on the plant premises. For example, tea plants dating to before the plant's construction remain on the premises, and the plants are still maintained to preserve their beauty.
In addition, large trees have been planted around the plant, and shrubs such as rhododendron and azalea have been planted on the premises to preserve the scenery visible from nearby roads.
In recognition of its years of effort in this regard, the Hamamatsu Plant received the Japan Greenery Research and Development Center's Chairman Prize at the 29th All-Japan Factory Greening Promotion Competition.
