#2 MIC Corporation Green Restoration and Conservation August 1999

MIC Corporation is an environmentally creative venture company that aims to restore the natural environment. Since its establishment in 1988, the company has been working to restore the natural environment of forests and waterways in Japan and abroad. The company's efforts focus on restoring the environment to its original state by growing plants that were originally native to the area and planting trees. In particular, the company practices Professor Akira Miyawaki's ecological method of construction, and has been involved in vegetation surveys and designs at over 300 locations. Furthermore, in partnership with German technology, the company has introduced “vegetated revetments,” in which waterfront revetments are naturally formed by plants, thereby contributing to environmental preservation. The company is receiving an increasing number of orders from government agencies and will continue to be looked to as a leader in natural environment restoration.
