Marutomo Co., Ltd. (President: Hitomi Akazeki, Head Office: Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture), which contributes to health and the development of food culture through katsuobushi, dashi, and marine resources, will participate as a Bronze Partner in the '2027 International Horticultural Exposition (GREEN×EXPO 2027)', to be held from Friday, March 19, 2027, to Sunday, September 26, 2027, at the former Kamiseta Communication Facility in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

The '2027 International Horticultural Exposition (GREEN×EXPO 2027)', promoted under the slogan 'With Earth. Let’s bloom.', will be the first World Exposition held across one metropolitan area and three prefectures, attracting numerous visitors from Japan and abroad. As an international exposition, it aims to promote horticulture and landscaping, foster lifestyles enriched by flowers and greenery, and address global challenges toward building a green society—inviting everyone to collectively envision, experience, and share the future of society and daily life.

Aligned with the main theme of the exposition, 'Landscapes of Tomorrow that Create Happiness,' which expresses the belief that 'flowers, greenery, agriculture, and food sustain our lives and bring joy and emotion across generations and ethnicities,' Marutomo has decided to join as a Bronze Partner supporting the 'Horticultural Culture Project' and the 'Outdoor Exhibition Project.' Marutomo's soil amendment product, 'Kurage Chip®,' will be used in these projects.

Benefiting from nature in its business operations, Marutomo expresses gratitude for the gifts of nature and is committed to preserving a rich natural environment for future generations. Through the development, commercialization, and sale of its soil amendment 'Kurage Chip®,' the company advances 'Forest CSV' (※)—an initiative that simultaneously enhances corporate value and the social value provided by forests through business-integrated forest conservation and sustainable wood utilization.

Through its sponsorship of this exposition, Marutomo aims to contribute to the realization of a future where humans and nature coexist harmoniously.

※ An initiative that enhances both corporate value and the social value of forests by integrating business activities with forest conservation and wood utilization.
