CSR (Social Contribution Activities)

All of our business activities are closely related to the SDGs, and we are engaged in activities to protect abundant forests and water, including the water source conservation functions of watershed forests, rivers, farmland, and woodland, as well as creating plans to maintain and restore healthy water circulation in river basins and carrying out practical activities in the local community.

As one example, since 2011 we have participated in Yokohama City's Water Source Eco Project: W-eco・p, supporting forest conservation activities in Doshi Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, which is one of Yokohama City's water sources.

In addition, we support local activities in various regions, such as eradicating invasive species to reduce flood risk and maintaining forests on slopes in woodland. We will continue to support activities to protect forests and water.

It has been 40 years since the "Research Center" was established in Tsukuba City. The Ibaraki Robots, a member of the professional basketball league "B League", are active in the world of sports, based in Ibaraki. As an official sponsor of the Ibaraki Robots, we support the team and the development of the local community.

The Ibaraki Robots have Mito City as their home town and Tsukuba City and other friendly towns, and aim to be a pioneering model for regional revitalization through sports.

Our company is involved in infrastructure development and community development throughout the country, and our employees continue to participate in community development through such activities as sponsoring "M-HOPE," a social contribution activity in which the Ibaraki Robots invites local children to their games.

We participate in the "Kanda Festival," one of Japan's three major festivals, held every two years, as a member of the Kanda Nishiki-cho, 3-chome neighborhood association in Chiyoda Ward, where our Tokyo office is located. In the vicinity of Kanda Nishiki-cho, 3-chome, the four neighborhood associations of which our company is a member - Nishiki 3-chome neighborhood association, Nishiki 3-chome-Daiichi neighborhood association, Nishiki 2-chome neighborhood association, and OGAWA 3-chome Nanbu neighborhood association - form the "Nishiki Alliance," and our company's employees join the local community in carrying o-mikoshi (portable shrine) and heading to Kanda Shrine.

In addition to the Kanda Festival, the group also contributes to the community through various activities, such as participating in the festival organized by the Kanda Nishiki-cho neighborhood association and taking part in tug-of-war events.

We participate in the "MOMAT Support Circle," a support program for the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, which is located within walking distance of our Tokyo office. We support the creation of a collection that will become the national asset, and aim to enrich the lives and livelihoods of every citizen who visits the museum or comes into contact with art.

We cooperate with Chiyoda Ward-Kudan Secondary School in their "Integrated Learning Time" and accept company visits by students. This is a learning program in which students visit companies, find optimal solutions to problems presented by the companies through a process of exploration, and present the results. We started accepting students from the 4th year of Reiwa (2022) and work on different themes every year, such as "climate change" and "disaster prevention."
