What is Go! Blue Project?
Go! Blue Project is a CSR initiative of the Aon Japan Group that aims to address ocean plastic waste and promote a recycling-oriented society that reduces the burden on the environment. Activities include volunteer beach cleanups, awareness-raising programs for students from elementary school through university in collaboration with schools, and promoting the use of eco-bags at home and in the workplace. Starting from small actions close to home, we are expanding our activities from Japan to the entire Asia-Pacific region.
