About the Company:
Forevergreen, a non-profit organization, was founded in 2001 to prevent global warming, and now works broadly and freely on all aspects of sustainability.
In the SDGs, we are currently developing our business focusing on 13 "Climate Change", 4 "Education", 8 "Economic Activity", 12 "Responsibility to Create and Use", and 17 "Partnership". The company has established a unique program that crosses environmental education with Japanese culture (tea ceremony), and from there leads to action. The results of this program were published on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' SDGs Activity Groups page, the first time for a Japanese non-profit corporation to be featured on the page. The concept of the program, which does not rely on subsidies, but rather obtains funding for planning proposals and consultation on environmental measures, is to "turn environmental conservation activities into a service that supports business. We are making society sustainable while re-expressing business with sensitivity.
Our goal is to create a system that incorporates social perspectives and does not force individuals to endure or put up with too much, instead of the conventional restrictive approach to the environment.

Rittal: Interview Partners for a Master-Thesis About the Business Culture in Japan
Details of the Request:
My name is Jan Simon Becker and I work at Rittal in Germany. I am now about to graduate from a university course in “Business Psychology” and would like to write my Master's thesis. Japan belongs to the four largest economies in the world. It has produced numerous globally known brands and manufacturers that successfully operate all over the world. I'd like to better understand how European industrial companies are doing in the Japanese market, what obstacles they may encounter, how they perceive Japanese business culture and how European industrial products are received by potential Japanese customers. For this purpose, I would like to conduct interviews in English or German, which will last about 60 minutes and will be recorded. All personal or sensitive information will be anonymized in my thesis. You are welcome to contact me if you are a German company operating in Japan or if you can recommend contacts to Japanese companies. I look forward to your feedback.
About the Company:
Innovative strength has been woven into the Rittal DNA since its foundation. In 1961, Rudolf Loh Elektrogerätebau was founded in Rittershausen by the entrepreneur Rudolf Loh, with one simple guiding principle: “Enclosures off the shelf, immediately.” In its founding year it launched the world’s first standard enclosure on the market. In 1969, the company was renamed Rittal, in honour of its roots in Rittershausen in Dietzhölztal. Within just a few years, Rittal enclosures had become established as a global standard, and have remained so to this day.
