自分たちの幸せが誰かの幸せと共存
し続ける方法こそが、
ユーグレナ社が目指す
Sustainability Firstな社会
私は、大学一年の時に目の当たりにしたバングラデシュの栄養問題を解決したいという思いで起業し、そして資源の少ない日本から新エネルギーを生み出し、人と地球を健康にするために今日まで全力投球してきました。
東証一部に上場させていただいた2014年から、バングラデシュの子どもたちに栄養豊富なユーグレナクッキーの配布を開始し、2023年末には配布数1,700万食を超えました。また、10年以上の試行錯誤を繰り返し、「不可能だ」と言われていたバイオジェット燃料サステオでの初フライトも実現させました。
Today, we are living in an era where the speed and complexity of changes in the social environment are increasing, and where unexpected events occur one after another, making it difficult to predict the future.
When I thought about what is necessary to keep people and the earth healthy in this era, I arrived at "Sustainability First."
When tackling social issues, solving only certain problems and making some people happy is not what we call sustainability. It's just financial capitalism. However, the world of capitalist society that has continued from the postwar period to the present will come to an end in 2025.
This is because in Japan, millennials and Generation Z, who are said to be highly interested in social issues, will account for half of the working population.
In Europe and the United States, they have already become the majority, and their will is the most important target in everything.
“How our own happiness can continue to coexist with someone else’s happiness” is the sustainability that Euglena considers and the goal we are aiming for. Towards our goals, we will make steady progress in various ways by leveraging the professionalism of our partners, the microalgae Euglena, and our partners, to realize a Sustainability First society.
