SAKATA SEED CORPORATION has received the FY2026 SEGES "Urban Oasis" certification for the publicly accessible open space and rooftop greenery at its headquarters in Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama. The certification is determined by the SEGES Evaluation and Certification Committee following a document review and an on-site inspection, and the company's contribution to the local community and the quality of its green space management were evaluated.
The premises include publicly accessible open space where visitors can enjoy flowers and trees throughout the seasons. The flower beds at the entrance and the Green Plaza are planted mainly with flower seedlings, with vegetable seedlings also incorporated according to the season. The flower beds and part of the premises are open to the public and are used by nearby residents and nursery school children as walking routes.
The headquarters has rooftop greenery using the Aqua Soil method, which enables plant maintenance using rainwater alone. The site is required to meet evaluation criteria for public accessibility, safety and environmental consideration. SEGES also includes environmental consideration and biodiversity conservation among its evaluation criteria, and places importance on the continuity of green space management.
