Receiving the symbolic tree for contributions to the My Tree My School program

On March 5, 2010, Sharp Corporation held the Environmental Forum in Jakarta to coincide with participation in the 6th Eco-products International Fair 2010 in Jakarta from March 4 to 7.

The forum welcomed about 140 guests to the Balai Sidang Jakarta Convention Center, including government officials, students, and representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the media.

Following a welcome message from Fumihiro Irie, President of SEID*1, Noboru Fujimoto, Chairman and CEO of Asia, Oceania and African Region, gave an overview of Sharp's business.

Hiroshi Morimoto, Executive Officer and Group General Manager of Environmental Protection Group, followed up with a slide presentation on the goals and actions of Sharp's environmental vision of "Becoming an Eco-Positive Company" and its environmental strategy, the Eco-Positive Strategy.

The high interest in the environmental in Indonesia was shown by the flurry of questions from the media on Sharp's environmentally friendly products and recycling efforts, and its contributions to the creation of a carbon-neutral society.

At a panel discussion on Sharp's environmental efforts in Indonesia, journalists and students conducted a frank and lively exchange of opinions.

The forum also celebrated a new Sharp environmental program in Indonesia called My Tree My School*2 with a ceremony in which a small symbolic tree was presented to SEID and a representative of the NGO it is partnering with in the program.

Sharp has so far held environmental forums like this in Japan, China, Indonesia, and Europe, and plans call for more such events in other parts of the world to introduce how Sharp is working for the environment in its own unique way.
