In just three years since the service launch, the number of companies implementing the project has exceeded 100, contributing to the offset of approximately 20,000 tons of CO2 in total. Recently, a partnership was also announced with the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) as a sustainability partner.

The Earth's environment and human society are facing difficult challenges for survival, and there are great expectations and responsibilities placed on companies to find solutions. However, when they try to take action, the issues are diverse, and the content and level of challenges faced vary greatly by industry and sector, leading to the current situation where many say, "I don't know where to start" and "there is no right answer." Moreover, while actions towards sustainability are an obvious responsibility, they often do not lead to direct benefits and tend to be marginalized in both corporate activities and consumer behavior. Reasons such as "it's not profitable" and "there's no system" often take precedence, causing progress to stall. Even when efforts are made, they may not receive proper recognition, making it difficult to maintain motivation at both the individual and organizational levels. Additionally, from the perspective of a single industry, company, or individual, the ideas that can be generated and the scope of actions that can be taken are very limited. Creating opportunities for information exchange and collaboration beyond one's area of expertise within daily operations is challenging. As a result, it can be said that a situation arises where individual companies or personnel bear their challenges and concerns in isolation.

Today, I would like to introduce "Re-Creation," a general incorporated association established by our company on May 7 of this year, which conducts sustainability certification. To reduce the environmental impact in the fashion industry and realize a circular model, we believe that actions from both companies that manufacture and sell clothing and consumers who use them are essential. To address a wide range of issues such as ensuring transparency in production backgrounds, reducing environmental impact, and improving employment ethics, Re-Creation is a project that aims to create a better world through fashion by re-evaluating the entire process from production to consumer behavior. <Features> We conduct certification based on established standards and promote sustainability among consumers by labeling certified products with QR codes, encouraging behavioral change. Additionally, by disclosing certification details on the Re-Creation website, we provide a mechanism to resolve issues of information reliability and clarity of displays, delivering companies' efforts to consumers widely and accurately without incurring significant costs.
