Banwa Private Island is proud to share its recent initiatives supporting biodiversity conservation through art and education. As a top 10 Philippine area for sharks and rays, we are dedicated to preserving our diverse ecosystems and are proud to be recognized for our efforts.
The one-night-only “Biodiversity in Full Color” art exhibition showcased the stunning artworks of Samantha Kaspar, a talented artist with a passion for nature. Her paintings highlight the island’s rich biodiversity, inspiring viewers to appreciate and protect our natural world.
Banwa Private Island’s commitment to conservation extends beyond its role as a sanctuary for marine life. The island has undertaken important research projects, including studies on the native Tabon Bird (or Philippine Megapode) and Mantanani Scops Owl, as well as initiatives to preserve the indigenous beach forests where these species nest.
Ms. Janet Oquendo, Island Manager, stated, “Samantha’s artworks beautifully capture the essence of our island’s biodiversity. We’re honored to support her and continue contributing to its preservation.”
The photo shows Ms. Samantha Kaspar standing in front of the bed headframe coral artwork at the Northeast Principal Villa on Banwa Private Island (above photo of the collage). This stunning piece, inspired by the island’s thriving coral reef, served as one of her painting inspirations for the recent art exhibit (below photo of the collage). The bed headframe’s design is a testament to the Aquos Foundation’s Reef Ball regeneration project.
In addition to the art exhibition, Banwa Private Island’s Aquos Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to marine conservation, partnered with the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park Management Office to introduce the book “Mga Hero ng Planetang Blue” to local students, inspiring them to become environmental guardians.
Our commitment to supporting initiatives that promote biodiversity conservation and sustainable practices is unwavering. We are dedicated to preserving our diverse ecosystems and are proud to be recognized for our efforts.
Banwa Private Island is proud to support the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity and its initiatives to raise awareness about biodiversity conservation through art and education.
The one-night-only “Biodiversity in Full Color” art exhibition, a culmination of our conservation and art initiatives, showcased the stunning artworks of Ms. Samantha Kaspar, a talented artist with special needs whose passion for nature is evident in her vibrant paintings. Her works featured a diverse array of species, from colorful birds and fish to intricate corals and plants.
As a testament to its efforts, Banwa Private Island was recently recognized as one of the Philippines’ top 10 Important Shark and Ray Areas. This recognition highlights the island’s critical importance in preserving these vulnerable species and their habitats. To further bolster its conservation efforts, the island has undertaken important research projects, including studies on the native Tabon Bird (or Philippine Megapode) and Mantanani Scops Owl, as well as initiatives to preserve the indigenous beach forests where these species nest.
Ms. Janet Oquendo, Island Manager of Banwa Private Island, stated, “Aquos Foundation’s mission to protect marine ecosystems deeply resonates with Ms. Samantha’s beautiful and evocative artworks. Her paintings capture the essence of the underwater world, reminding us of the delicate balance of nature. We’re honored to have supported her and to continue contributing to the preservation of our island home’s fragile ecosystems through our conservation initiatives, including research on native species and habitat preservation.”
In addition to the art exhibition, Banwa Private Island’s Aquos Foundation, in partnership with the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and World Heritage Site Management Office, recently held an inspiring event for students from Tumarbong Elementary School. The event featured the introduction of the book “Mga Hero ng Planetang Blue,” produced by the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity. The book inspires young readers to become guardians of our planet.
‘Biodiversity in Full Color’ art exhibit was a resounding success, demonstrating the power of art to connect people with nature and inspire action. Banwa Private Island remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote biodiversity conservation and sustainable practices, both through art and education.

Asuene Inc. is excited to announce its strategic acquisition of E4G, Inc., an innovative startup that emerged from the Tanaka Kenji Laboratory at the University of Tokyo. E4G specializes in AI-driven data collection and analysis for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics, as well as developing software for decarbonization roadmaps.
Background of the Acquisition
Asuene offers a diverse range of products, including “ASUENE,” a carbon accounting platform, “ASUENE ESG,” an evaluation cloud service, and “ASUENE CAREER,” which provides talent recruiting support for your decarbonization and ESG initiatives. By providing a one-stop solution for sustainability, “ASUENE” has supported the decarbonization and ESG management efforts of over 9,000 companies. Meanwhile, “ASUENE ESG” has exceeded 14,000 companies and holds the top position in the industry.
In recent years, the importance of ESG metrics as a basis for corporate evaluation has significantly increased, leading to a rapid rise in demand among businesses and financial institutions for efficient collection, analysis, management, and disclosure of ESG data. However, the lack of standardization and normalization in ESG data collection makes this process extremely challenging. Many companies face considerable time and cost burdens as they must manually gather vast amounts of information for competitor comparisons and industry analyses, all while requiring ongoing data collection and analysis.
Furthermore, in the context of decarbonization, visualizing CO2 emissions and developing as well as implementing emission reduction roadmaps have become increasingly crucial for companies. The complexity of formulating these reduction plans has led to rising challenges, as organizations often lack the necessary expertise to proceed effectively.
In light of these social trends and customer challenges, we have determined that integrating E4G— which possesses strong services and technological foundations in ESG data and CO2 emissions reduction—will significantly enhance the value we provide to our customers and further expand our platform. This realization has driven us to pursue the acquisition of E4G.
Objectives Achieved Through the Acquisition
Enhanced ESG Data Solutions
The acquisition enables Asuene to incorporate E4G’s ESG data capabilities into its current platform, creating a more comprehensive solution for businesses. This integration will allow organizations to efficiently gather and analyze non-financial indicators, assess competitors, and simplify evaluations of corporate value.
Strengthening Decarbonization Support
The combined expertise of Asuene and E4G will offer a comprehensive solution for managing decarbonization, addressing everything from visualizing CO2 emissions to developing and executing reduction strategies.
Fostering University-Industry Collaboration
The collaboration with E4G, supported by advanced technology and a strong data foundation, will expedite the development and societal implementation of decarbonization and ESG solutions.
Comments from E4G and Asuene Representatives
I am truly delighted to join the Asuene Group. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all stakeholders, including our customers, partner companies, team members, and shareholders.
In light of the global ESG movement, companies are being called upon to undergo further transformation. By collaborating with Asuene, which is rapidly expanding its operations on the global stage and driving societal GX initiatives, E4G will continue to advance our vision of ‘DATA DRIVEN GX.
Representative, E4G, Inc.
I am honored that E4G has chosen to join the Asuene Group. As the significance of ESG data and GHG reduction continues to grow both in Japan and worldwide, E4G’s expertise in analyzing ESG data disclosure and developing reduction roadmaps will be essential for a comprehensive assessment of corporate sustainability. This expertise will also play a key role in evaluating corporate value, risks, and investment potential.
Alongside Daichi Obara, the CEO of E4G, we look forward to creating new value in the areas of decarbonization and ESG data.
Founder & CEO, Asuene, Inc.
