Our main production facilities - the Saitama Headquarters and the Shiga Factory - are located near residential areas, and because we are a chemical product manufacturing plant, we have installed deodorization equipment to control unpleasant odors and have been taking measures to reduce noise and vibrations. We also support and attend seasonal events in the local community, such as fireworks displays, festivals, Shinto rituals, and so on, and engage in daily communication with local communities with the aim of being a company with strong local ties.
From fiscal 2020 onward local events have been suspended due to the spread of COVID-19, but we still intend to proactively support and sponsor them when they restart.
