The NOF Group has been engaged in various dialogue activities over the years to deepen understanding of our corporate activities among people in local communities and society.
Through community dialogues, plant tours, and other activities, we will proceed with initiatives for further deepening exchanges and dialogues with people in local communities and society.　

To prepare for accidents that may occur in the future, close collaboration with local disaster prevention organizations is indispensable. The NOF Group is actively trying to create opportunities to strengthen disaster measures by engaging in disaster prevention drills with local organizations. Joint disaster prevention drills and emergency support drills with neighboring companies are becoming more practical year after year. Large-scale drills involving local firefighters and police are also held more frequently.
In addition, Kawasaki Works entered into an agreement on tsunami evacuation with the Kawasaki city government to make itself publicly available as in case of an emergency. In addition, each works and plant also participate in local disaster prevention drills at the request of the organizations they belong to.

Nippon Koki Co., Ltd. cooperated with “Dial 110 Day” event organized by Shirakawa Police Station in its community and exhibited its crime prevention products and conducted a demonstration test on NET LAUNCHER.

Changshu NOF Chemical Co., Ltd. has held a “Family Day” event since 2018 with the aim of deepening employees’ family ties. This year, a total of some 200 people comprising employees and their family members participated in mandarin picking.

NiGK Corporation provided humus, a type of soil organic matter, from its plant to “Welfare Market” in Kawagoe City, a local forum for discussing how to create a better community.
Nippo Kogyo Co., Ltd. took part in the local industrial festival “Festa Susono,” introducing clay pigeon shooting and other hunting products, and held a lottery for children.

Fukushima Prefecture has established a carbon dioxide certification system through its forest maintenance activities to certify the effectiveness of forest maintenance activities such as planting, weeding, and thinning conducted by companies and organizations in the prefecture based on the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed. This certification is aimed at promoting participation in forest maintenance activities by companies and organizations, thereby contributing to the continued exhibition of the multifaceted functions of forests, such as the prevention of global warming, and the revitalization of communities in mountain villages.
The Shirakawa Plant of Nippon Koki Co., Ltd. is located in the village of Nishigo, Nishishirakawa-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, and owns approximately 149 hectares of forests. The plant’s forest maintenance activities were certified as absorbing 282 tons of carbon dioxide from 2012 to 2013.
The certification of carbon dioxide absorption through forest maintenance activities not only contributes to preventing global warming, but also promotes the healthy growth of forests and the conservation of biodiversity. Forest maintenance activities also create local jobs and stimulate the local economy.

The NOF Group is actively engaged in volunteer activities to clean the areas surrounding its plants. With a sense of responsibility for keeping local areas clean and protecting local environments, all employees participate in litter pickup and cleanup activities.

NOF is committed to supporting people with disabilities as part of activities to fulfil its social responsibilities. NOF has supported the activities of para-athletes and Para-Art artists since fiscal 2023.

NOF supports the Japan Para Shooting Sport Federation as a top partner. We promise to support the promotion of the sport and discovery and development of the next-generation athletes and contribute to society by promoting the diversity and inclusiveness in para-sports through support to para shooting.

Following discussions between the Japan Para Shooting Sport Federation, Paralym Art, and NOF, paralym artist Momotaro created an original artwork to express the passion of para-shooting athletes. This work appeared on the poster for the All Japan Tournament, towel handkerchiefs given as prizes to winners, and plastic folders given as participation prizes. These activities led to mutual understanding between the two organizations and significantly livened up the tournament.

Jointly with Nippo Kogyo Co., Ltd., which sells ammunitions for hunting and shooting, and hunting rifles, NOF donated shooting ammunitions to the Japan Para Shooting Sport Federation. The aim is to encourage social participation and independence among people with disabilities who are new to shooting sports, thereby further promoting the sport and increasing the number of participants.

NOF uses works by Paralym Art artists for the covers of its Integrated Report and in-house newsletters. This initiative promotes social participation and independence among Paralym Art artists. By deepening two-way communication, we aim to explore new possibilities in the fields of art and culture and build a more prosperous future.

As part of its CSR activities, NOF supports the National Land Afforestation Promotion Organization, the operating body of the Green Fund, through donations. The organization plays a central role in Japan in the area of natural environment protection through afforestation and other activities. NOF endorses the organization’s business plan and has been providing continuous support since fiscal 2015.

As part of its CSR activities, NOF continues to support the Fund for Supporting Children’s Future of the Children and Families Agency and others. The fund carries out a wide range of activities to solicit donations from companies and individuals, and the collected donations are used to benefit support organizations nationwide, such as learning support groups, cafeterias for children, and orphanages, which are selected through open recruitment, screening, and selection.
The NOF Group received a certificate of appreciation from the fund for our support in fiscal 2024, which we also received in fiscal 2023.
We will continue to work together in enhancing support for children.

In the town of Taketoyo, Aichi Prefecture, where the Aichi Works is located, we solicit support to create and promote towns, people, and jobs through corporate Furusato Nozei (hometown tax payment). Taketoyo Town solicited donations in fiscal 2024 for a project for comprehensively supporting marriage, childbirth, childrearing, and education. This includes subsidies for supporting newly married couples, subsidies for taxi expenses for expectant and new mothers, development of children’s club facilities, subsidies for children’s medical expenses, etc. NOF implemented a corporate Furusato Nozei (hometown tax payment) system in response to a request for support from Taketoyo.

As part of its CSR activities, NMC held an event called “NMC Peduli dan Berbagi” (‘caring and sharing’) on March 21, 2025.
Through this activity, NMC donated cash, ingredients for food for breaking the fast, confectionery, and other products to orphaned children in the region through a charity based in West Java, Indonesia. The ceremony was held at the mosque within the NMC premises, and after offering prayers, the President handed out donation items to each child. After that, commemorative photos were taken and a meal to break the fast was enjoyed together with the children.
This activity was warmly welcomed by the local community and residents, and we received many messages of gratitude. NMC will continue this meaningful initiative, while also expanding activities to support the future of children in the community.
