The Environmental Communication Award is an award system run by the Ministry of Environment, Global Environment Forum, that aims to promote efforts towards environmental communication by business operators, as well as to improve its quality by recognizing excellent environmental reports and environmental activity reports of business organizations.

At the "20th Environmental Communication Awards - Environmental Report Division" Miyagi Co-op's "Summary of Fiscal 2015 Environmental Activity" report won the Excellence Award.

It was evaluated as a comprehensive report because of its business nature and scale which is different from large enterprises and manufacturing industries. While the report features the characteristics of the company, it is also summarized from customers’ perspective as a stakeholder which is easy to understand.

Focusing on food safety, Miyagi Co-op promoted efforts to pursue the satisfaction of members.

Again, the diffusion of environmentally conscious products for the environment, advancing efforts on renewable energy and effective initiatives in cooperation with the local community were some of the advanced approaches the Co-op advanced that won her the award.

Miyagi Co-op is expected to develop efforts to pursue its achievements and set future goals.
