Riviera Zushi Marina Sustainability Activities
Riviera Zushi Marina began environmental conservation activities in 2001 when it began its marina business.
We compiled these ideas and launched the "Riviera Future Project" in 2006, and have since devoted all our employees to sustainability.
At Riviera Zushi Marina, we are working to develop the town as a "Sustainable Town Riviera Zushi Marina."
We are promoting the SDGs through a variety of activities, including circular farming methods that achieve zero waste and significant CO₂ reductions, and the use of renewable energy.
