       "All companies harness ecosystem services, leveraging the resources produced by our ecosystem in each phase of the lifecycle, from the sourcing of raw materials to production, sales, use and disposal. At the same time, however, the world continues to lose its tropical forests while the number of fauna and flora found on the red list of endangered species continues to grow unabated. Also, Aeon’s business operations are based on the recognition that they cannot be sustained without the ecosystem services of agricultural produce and marine products, which is why Aeon continues to work on various initiatives for the sustainable use of resources, with biodiversity conservation considered as one of the key issues."
