[Report] Exhibited at Eco-Products 2010

NOMURA, Ltd. and Fairwood Partners (*1) jointly set up a booth at "Eco-Products 2010" held at Tokyo Big Sight from December 9 to 11, 2010.

At the venue, the concept design that visualized the concept of Fairwood (*2), which was announced in the "Declaration of Support for Fairwood" announced on November 24, attracted the attention of many visitors. This booth was positioned as a café in the venue, and was intended to let people know the concept of Fairwood through workshops such as making wooden coasters. In addition to conveying our company's sincere stance on addressing environmental issues, we also won the highest award at the 1st Eco & concept design Booth Award, which recognizes exhibition booths from the perspective of environmental consideration and concept design. We were able to achieve results.
