The appointment of a CFO who will change the future.The appointment of a CFO who will change the future.

We at euglena Co., Ltd. have been working hard on environmental and health issues through business using Euglenia microalgae.
While discussing the future of the Earth with children, we noticed that our current management team was lacking something.
It seemed strange that the people who would be living in the future were not actually participating in any of our discussions in which we were making decisions about the future.
This is when we decided to create the Chief Future Officer (CFO) position for youth under 18 years old.
The duties of the CFO involve all aspects regarding changing the company and the future.

  • Tanto Leonardo Irikura (Born 2001)

    To change the world, I believe that all of us need to understand, consider, and above all take action.
    I would like to be the trigger that makes everyone try to understand, consider, and take action, even if just a little.
    If things don’t change now, they never will.
    We need to come together to make a change!

  • Junichiro Kimachi (Born 2003)

    We are the ones who will live in the future.
    This is why we need to take an interest in social issues and topics concerning the future.
    I believe that as teenagers, we have the ability to communicate in a manner that is not one-way!
    Being interested in something will cause you to take action, no matter how small of an action it is.
    This is where our future begins!

  • Yutaro Kida (Born 2003)

    Measures to prevent global warming in the near future will be the responsibility of the people and not the government.
    If a single person takes action using their own strength, no matter how insignificant it may seem, it will lend great strength to everyone else!
    Our entire lifestyle can be 100% sustainable.
    We need to cooperate to create this type of future!

  • Yuto Kida (Born 2003)

    In Indonesia, I witnessed the current state of people who cannot live a healthy lifestyle because of the poor environment. In particular, I came to see that not being able to maintain oral hygiene caused various types of illnesses.
    I want to reduce these illnesses caused by poor oral conditions by even just a little and contribute to “making people and the Earth healthy”!

  • Masaki Cho (Born 2004)

    By 2030, when we start working as part of society, how can we achieve a sustainable society? What should entrepreneurs do to solve our social issues?
    I want to provide simple answers to these questions that appeal to even those who have little knowledge of social issues!

  • Ririka Deguchi (Born 2001)

    With my passion to change the future, I have joined euglena, which aims to solve the Earth’s problems using Euglena microalgae, as an under-18 member.
    I want to give my energy and enthusiasm to helping people throughout the world!
    I plan to use my perspective as a high school girl to protect the future Earth!

  • Kotori Nishibori (Born 2004)

    Children are the key to the world of our future.
    If we do not make improvements to ensure they can receive sufficient education, we will be unable to develop the human resources required to face the numerous issues that the Earth currently has.
    I want to achieve my goals through this partnership!

  • Taiho Higaki (Born 2008)

    We need to take action on our feelings of wanting to stop global warming!
    Let’s promote activities to stop global warming!
    Let’s all come together so that we can continue working toward this goal!
    We must start now!
    Begin by not putting out garbage, reducing it, and picking it up.
    I’ll the most of this opportunity.
