Dialogue Activities
The NOF Group has been engaged in various dialogue activities over the years to pursue our corporate activities and promote understanding among local communities and societies.
We will resume community dialogues and plant tours, which were suspended for the past several years due to COVID-19, and conduct more exchanges and dialogues with local communities and society than ever before.

Collaboration with local communities
In providing against accidents that might happen, close collaboration with local disaster-fighting organizations is indispensable. The NOF Group is actively trying to create opportunities to strengthen its disaster preparedness by engaging in joint drills with local organizations for damage prevention. Joint disaster-fighting drills and emergency support drills with neighboring companies are increasingly adapted to practical needs year after year. Large-scale drills have become frequent with the participation of local fire and police stations.
The Kawasaki Works entered into an agreement with the municipal government of Kawasaki to offer itself as a refuge facility against tsunami, and would open its general office building to general citizens seeking help. Besides these drills, individual works also participates in local disaster-fighting drills at the request of organizations they belong to.
