Participation in Society and Contribution to its Development

The NHK SPRING Group promotes social contribution activities across the entire Group, primarily through the Social Contribution Subcommittee, which operates under the Sustainability Promotion Committee. Matters discussed by the Social Contribution Subcommittee are reported to and deliberated by the Sustainability Promotion Committee, chaired by the Executive Vice President and Representative Member of the Board, and are submitted to or reported to the Management Committee and the Board of Directors as necessary. Decisions made by the Sustainability Promotion Committee, the Management Committee, or the Board of Directors are reflected in the NHK SPRING Group’s social contribution activities through collaboration between the Social Contribution Subcommittee and relevant departments.

For more than 20 years, NHK Spring has supported the operation of the Fureai Hiroba community welfare event as volunteers, in agreement with the objectives of the Aikawa Town Council of Social Welfare and the Aikawa Town Volunteer Liaison Council, which organizes the event. This event is held annually at Tashiro Sports Park in Aikawa Town, where our Precision Spring & Components Division has its Atsugi Plant. The event attracts many local residents and features food stalls, adoption events for rescued dogs and cats, and other community-focused activities. NHK Spring employees participate as volunteers in activities such as NHK Spring drum performances and the operation of interactive games for attendees. We aim to continue growing together with local communities and contributing to their well-being.

The NHK SPRING Group regularly exhibits at major trade shows such as the Japan Mobility Show (JMS) and the Automotive Engineering Exposition, as well as at exhibitions specifically designed for local children. One such example is Akita NEXT Motor Fest 2025, at which NHK PRECISION CO., LTD. and NHK SPRING jointly exhibited in October 2025. Aimed at children in Akita Prefecture, this event was designed to introduce the appeal of manufacturing and the automotive industry. At the venue, NHK PRECISION CO., LTD. operated a hands-on booth where children could experience precision metal processing. Children experienced having the body and shaft of a stainless-steel spinning top precisely assembled by machine, and then enjoyed spinning it by hand. The booth proved extremely popular, with long lines throughout the event. The event provided children with an opportunity to experience the joy of manufacturing firsthand. The NHK SPRING Group will continue to pursue educational initiatives that leverage its manufacturing capabilities to inspire and nurture the next generation.

Since 2016, YNU Sports Academy (Yokohama National University Sports Academy), a non-profit organization, and the Company have jointly held a track and field clinic for junior high and high school students in Kanagawa Prefecture at the Yokohama National University ground. 
The training is conducted by NHK Spring's athlete employees as a part of our social contribution program for athletes who aim to improve their competitive level of jumping, as well as for the development of future top athletes. A total of 646 people have participated over eight clinics held to date.

NHK Spring’s overseas Group company, NHK Spring (Thailand), donated solar power generation system to schools located near its factories. This activity originated by NHK Spring (Thailand) has been successively introducing large-scale solar power generation systems across six of its plants since FY2022. The company repurposed a small-scale system that had previously been installed at one of its sites and donated them to local communities as a social contribution activity to Wat Kratum School in FY2023.

From FY2024 until now, the company also began providing newly built solar power systems donated in total of 4 schools. This initiative has been highly regarded, as it enables local communities to utilize clean energy and helps schools reduce their utility costs.
