Nippon Kodo’s Attitude toward the Environment

FEEL THE EARTH

We have long provided spirituality and healing through fragrance by taking advantage of the boon nature has provided us with. Spirituality connects the past to the present, the memories of parent to child, and healing brings grace and satisfaction, more simply put, true comfort to daily living. Feeling the abundance of blessings provided to us by the earth, we proclaim the following position in our environmental business activities, connecting present to future with our “Feel the Earth” theme.
