What is "Flower and Green Peace Highway Garden ® Project"?

Rest facility We will transform the garden into a comfortable space that is easy to use, and at the same time, we will develop "Highway Garden ®" aiming to create regional characteristics and cooperate with the region, and provide customers with a more relaxing and healing space. It is a project that we are promoting to do.

What is "Takafuku Collaboration ®"?

NEXCO EAST, the efforts that "Expressway" and "welfare" are linked are called "takafuku (happiness) collaboration". We position this as a part of our CSR activities to address social issues through the Expressway business, and we will continue to work based on the concept of CSV.

* CSV (Creating Shared Value) is translated as "creating common value." Professor Michael Porter of Harvard University proposed as a new concept of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). The idea is to contribute to society not only through charitable social contribution activities, but also by simultaneously utilizing the strengths of the company to solve social issues and achieve growth for the company.
