A central aspect of the partnership is the implementation of so called biodiversity checks with companies of the Sekisui Group.

The objective of the collaboration is to increase the efficiency of environmental measures in the companies and incorporate biological diversity criteria into the environmental & quality strategy of Sekisui-companies in Europe.
