Since its founding, EBARA has contributed to solving social problems through its business. One of the company’s goals set out in its long-term vision, E-Vision 2030, is to provide water to 600 million people worldwide. They hope to contribute to the realization of a water and food secure society, especially in regions where population growth and economic development will strain existing resources.
