In order to promote environmental protection activities in harmony with the global environment, it is necessary for all employees to correctly understand environmental issues as their own concern in their daily work and raise their environmental awareness to solve problems. Each operational site formulates and implements its own educational plan according to the characteristics and challenges within their operations. For example, our head office and sales offices are promoting energy saving and efficient use of resources through practices such as the optimal use of office lighting and air-conditioners as well as paperless work with regard to documents. Furthermore, during training for newly assigned employees, we ensure that they are aware of the importance of thoroughly separating their waste and recycling using a waste classification sheet. In addition to programs for all employees, we also have programs for various job levels and groups and are working to enrich the contents of them. We also provide online and on-demand courses for employees so that they can learn even in remote work environments. In conjunction with World Environment Day on June 1, we started environmental protection activities to raise awareness of environmental issues as a personal responsibility through the website and the local EH&S meetings, by tree planting on the premises and surrounding areas. and in FY2025, by offering canteen menus emphasizing the image color green. We flexibly utilize specialized courses both in-house and externally to develop employees in charge of environmental education and those who should acquire official qualifications, and to improve individual knowledge.

Mutual understanding and cooperation with local communities are important as we carry out our business activities in these communities.

As a member of an industrial park, the Kashima Plant participated in a meeting with district representatives and administrative staff in July 2025.
