The event drew 24 representatives from the Kunming municipal government and media organizations.

Nobuyuki Sugano, Executive Managing Officer; Group General Manager, China Group; and Chairman, Sharp Electronics Sales (China) Co., Ltd., opened the event by thanking attendees for their participation in the Sharp Environmental Forum.

Hiroshi Morimoto, Executive Officer and Group General Manager, Environmental Protection Group, followed up with a presentation on the goals and actions of Sharp's new environmental vision of "Becoming an Eco-Positive Company" and its new environmental strategy, the Eco-Positive Strategy.

After that, Deputy Mayor Wang Daoxing, representing the Chinese participants, introduced the city's environmental policies and offered Sharp some advice as well.

The high level of interest in environmental issues was abundantly clear as the forum came to a close with a flurry of enthusiastic questions from participants about Sharp's environmental efforts and policies.
