The Nagai Hachioji Campusheld an SDGs seminar with Asahi U-As Co., Ltd.

On Thursday, May 15, 2025, the seminar of Lisa Nagai, Senior Assistant Professor in the Department Faculty of Economics Department of Economics Teikyo University, held an SDGs seminar in collaboration with Asahi Yuasa Co., Ltd.
The Nagai seminar has been carrying out activities that contribute to the achievement of the SDGs, such as offering TFT menus at the student cafeteria on Hachioji Campus with an additional 20 yen to cover the school lunch fees of children in developing countries, and participating in the "MUP Project," a plastic bottle cap collection activity run by the Asahi Group, and has been thinking deeply about the SDGs in collaboration with the Asahi Group for several years.
In the first half of the seminar, Asahi Group explained its SDG initiatives, including measures to reduce CO2 and the management of Asahi Forest. In the Q&A session that followed, many students asked questions about label-free PET bottles and PET bottle camp recycling. In the second half of the seminar, students from Nagai's seminar proposed linking TFT activities with Asahi Yu-As's "plaloop project," which creates a plastic circulation cycle, and using Asahi Yu-As products in local governments. Feedback on the students' proposals included, "I was very inspired by the fresh perspective that only students can bring," and "The perspective is wonderful. I think it will be even better if you come up with a concrete story."
Nagai's seminar will continue to offer TFT menus and engage in activities aimed at achieving the SDGs, thereby contributing to society.
