Social Contribution Activities

We strive to create a more affluent and comfortable living environment in the local communities that form the basis of our business activities and employees’ daily lives.
Through activities leading to resolution of local issues, we will communicate our business and initiatives while building relationships of trust.

In April 2022, we established the Sustainability Committee to conduct comprehensive management reviews on the direction and appropriateness of ESG initiatives by executive management in accordance with the Sustainability Fundamental Policy. In July 2025, in order to address changes in the external environment and rationalize internal operations, we reviewed the structure and operational flow of this meeting body to render it more efficient and functional.
The Head of Human Resources Infrastructure has oversight over the Group’s social contribution activities, and the Corporate Planning Department (external relations and public relations) and General Administration Department (external relations, employees, and sports clubs) work in tandem to pursue these activities with the latter as the responsible department. Management reviews of these activities are conducted by the People Empowerment Promotion Meeting, made up of members put forward by each department, and results are conveyed to the Board of Directors via the Sustainability Committee.

Each year, we cooperate with and participate in activities organized by the Kyowa Higashi Autonomous District to clean up the stream known as the Kuranagase River, in conjunction with the Clean Up the World in Obu event conducted by Obu City along waterways including the Ishigase River and Enmeiji River. On this day, we work up a sweat together with representatives from the Autonomous District, the City Hall, and the Social Welfare Council, as well as local junior high school students and residents.

We also participate every year in the Kyowa Yume-dori Cleanup (Street Cleanup), a local community activity spearheaded by Obu City.
This offers an excellent opportunity to thank the local community for their continued support.
We clean up leaves that have fallen from the ginkgo trees lining the street.
