Contributing to Local Communities

Contributing to Local Communities

Contributing to local communities is one of the most important activities for a company to continue its business activities. We are committed to building good relationships with our local communities through communication with local residents and community contribution activities.

• Each of our factories actively creates opportunities to engage with its local community, including inviting local residents to factory tours and holding dialogue meetings.

• The Aichi Factory holds science talks (such as “Interesting Experiments with Chemical Reactions” for children) to increase local residents’ understanding of chemistry.

• Through the FY2024 “Furusato Nozei” hometown tax payment system, we supported the municipalities where our factories are located with expenses involved in public education to promote community development that meets the challenges of climate change, as well as with projects to provide subsidies for childcare support; promote regional revitalization, repopulation, and job creation; and utilize local resources to achieve carbon neutrality.

• Koriyama City holds the annual Uneme Festival based on a local legend, and Nippon Chemical Industry participates. Through this activity, we are promoting the preservation and transmission of traditional culture as well as interaction with local people.

• Starting in the 2025–2026 season, with the desire to help revitalize Koto-Ku, where our Head Office is located, we became an advertising partner of the Koto-Ku rugby team Shimizu Koto Blue Sharks (a member of JAPAN RUGBY LEAGUE ONE Division 2).
