At Yaskawa, we support wildlife control efforts and contribute to local environmental conservation by making effective use of wild game such as deer and boar, which damage agricultural crops, as ingredients for gibier cuisine.
By serving gibier dishes in company cafeterias, we create opportunities for employees to effortlessly participate in environmental activities, which also helps raise environmental awareness.
Currently, sustainable food is being served at two sites: the Yahata-nishi Plant, Yukuhashi Plant, and the Nakama Plant. We aim to expand the number of locations offering these meals in the future.

At the new head office (commonly known as “Robot Village”), which opened in June 2015, we created the “Greenbelt” where we planted approximately 100 species of trees, mainly consisting of locally indigenous species, to help conserve biodiversity and contribute to the local environment. By nurturing a diverse range of trees and flowering plants, we aim to create a rich natural environment that attracts a variety of wildlife, including birds and insects.
The Greenbelt is open to the public on weekdays and serves as a place where local residents can connect with nature, enjoy moments of relaxation, and experience the changing seasons. It also provides employees and their families with opportunities to experience nature close at hand and take a moment to think about the environment.
In the future, we plan to organize events such as wildlife observation activities and tree-planting experiences, with the goal of developing the Greenbelt into a “Forest of Learning” where children can learn about the importance of nature and biodiversity.
