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 with Kawasaki City designating the Works’ main building as a tsunami evacuation facility and making it available to the general public in 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 been holding an event called “FAMILY DAY” with the aim of deepening employees’ family ties. The last “Family Day” event was held as a Christmas event attended by employees and their families. Through environmental learning based on the theme “Protecting the Yangtze River” and other activities, families gained a deeper understanding of the NOF Group’s environmental conservation and safety initiatives.

NiGK Corporation continuously participates in the “Welfare Market,” a local event held in Kawagoe City designed to help create a better community. In fiscal 2025, NiGK Corporation had a booth at the event and provided local residents with free leaf molds made from fallen leaves collected on the plant premises.

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.

In August 2025, employee volunteers conducted a cleanup activity at Kensington Park, located in Milford Charter Township, Michigan. Participants walked through the lush park and worked hard collecting litter. This activity directly contributes to beautifying the local environment while raising each employee’s awareness of environmental protection.

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

The NOF Group 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.

Donation of Shooting Ammunition
Jointly with Nippo Kogyo Co., Ltd., which sells ammunition for hunting and shooting, and hunting rifles, NOF donates shooting ammunition 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.

Beam Rifle Experience and Discussion Session
We invited the Japan Para Shooting Federation to the NOF Head Office and held a beam rifle* experience session followed by a discussion session with para-athletes. Seven federation representatives provided instruction in beam rifle shooting, and approximately 100 NOF Group participants gained a meaningful experience of the sport. We believe this greatly increased understanding and awareness of support activities for persons with disabilities and para-sports. At the discussion session, we heard from Mika Mizuta, a bronze medalist at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, and federation director Aki Taguchi, who participated as head of the Japanese delegation, about shooting techniques and ways to overcome pressure, providing valuable lessons applicable to work and sports.

NOF Group 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.

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). The project for which Taketoyo solicited donations in fiscal 2025 was the “Taketoyo Clean City for the Future Project,” which addresses global warming prevention, the realization of a decarbonized society, and waste reduction and recycling. NOF implemented a corporate Furusato Nozei (home tax payment) system in response to a request for support from Taketoyo.

We collaborated with local elementary schools on support activities that help children grow. In September 2025, we donated school supplies at the beginning of the new school term to support the learning environment. Furthermore, in December, we donated holiday-season goods to local families, contributing to the community by supporting households.

As part of its CSR activities, NMC held an event called “NMC Peduli dan Berbagi” (’caring and sharing’). 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.

As part of its CSR activities, the NOF Group provides continuous donation support to the Fund for Supporting Children’s Future, a pillar of the National Movement to Support Children’s Future promoted by the Children and Families Agency and other organizations. The fund broadly solicits donations from companies and individuals. Donations are used by support organizations nationwide selected through public applications, screening, and selection, including learning support organizations and organizations operating children’s cafeterias and safe spaces for children.
The NOF Group received a certificate of appreciation from the fund for our support in fiscal 2025, which we also received in fiscal 2024. We will continue cooperating to enhance this activity, which supports children’s smiles and dreams.
