Community Co-Creation
Activity Policy
Our business activities belong to and with the local community. Mutual understanding between we companies and local communities is essential for stable business operations. We engage, connect and cooperate with a diverse range of people in local communities, utilizing their unique characteristics to help solve problems and promote activities that create new value.
Our Activities
Contribution to SDGs :
Cleanup activities
We regularly clean up areas around our plants and cooperate with community beautification efforts. Each year in the Suita district, we participate in the Kanzaki River Cleanup Activities, which is implemented as part of the Adopt-a-River Program promoted by the Osaka prefectural government.
Potato harvesting
We grow sweet potatoes in a potato patch in the greenery yard at the Himeji Plant, and children from nearby preschools and nursery schools enjoy digging them up at harvest time.
We have done this every year since 1971, and it has enriched our connections with the community—some of the children have even gone on to join the company when they grew up.
In FY2022, about 670 children and their parents took part.
Dialogue with local communities
We participate in the community dialogue undertaken by the JCIA Responsible Care Committee in the areas in which our plants are located to explain and communicate our RC activities to the neighborhood associations, local governments, NPOs, industrial associations, companies, and other participants in pursuit of mutual understanding.
The dialogue was held in writing, rather than in-person, as a means of preventing the spread of COVID-19 infections.
