ENVIRONMENT
Each and every ADK Group employee recognizes the importance of the impact of the communication business on the environment. For this reason, we are pursuing various business initiatives aimed at contributing to society and protecting the environment. By making proposals to advertisers and strengthening alliances with media and partner companies, moreover, we are striving to realize effective environment-oriented communication and help build a sustainable society.
ADK has the ability to identify the current environmental situation by collating and analyzing environmental data using this information to minimize the consumption of energy and resources. We are:
