Yamato Transport's Kuroneko Yamato Environmental Classes are a form of environmental education for children, the leaders of the next generation, and have been held since 2005.
We renewed the Kuroneko Yamato Environmental Classes from October 2023 to spur children into thinking about what they can do for the environment. We aim to achieve this by teaching them how their small, individual activities lead to further environmentally-friendly actions and protecting the global environment. Based on requests for educational guidance, Yamato Transport employees visit children in the fourth to sixth grade of elementary school. They teach classes that encourage children to think about what environmental activities they can do, by explaining environmental initiatives in a quiz-style format and conducting group work through worksheets.

* Between fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2022, classes were not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
