Participation in Society and Contribution to its Development

In line with our Group policy of supporting the three areas of “Walking Together with Local Communities,” “Nurturing the Leaders of Tomorrow,” and “Protecting and Sustaining the Natural Environment,” we have been implementing the Corporate Hometown Tax Donation program in collaboration with local governments since 2021. Over the past five years, as part of our "community contribution" efforts, we have made 28 donations to seven municipalities to support community development (social infrastructure development), and five donations to one municipality aimed at job creation. In addition, to "support development of children," we made 57 donations to 13 municipalities, and as part of our "environmental contribution," we made 10 donations to two municipalities through the Corporate Hometown Tax Donation program.

Since 2022, NHK Spring has made annual donations to Yokosuka City in support of traffic safety initiatives. In addition, we conduct traffic safety volunteer activities every year. In 2024, NHK Spring employees carried out traffic monitoring volunteer activities more than 100 times in communities where our manufacturing sites are located. These activities involve standing at designated locations to watch over and ensure traffic safety. We also support traffic safety efforts through sponsorships.

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 613 people have participated over eight clinics held to date.

We rent out the gymnasium at our Yokohama office for table tennis and basketball practice about once a month to support the activities of Special Olympics Nippon / Kanagawa, which supports people with intellectual disabilities. In addition, to publicize the activities of this organization, we have installed a wrapped vending machine in our Yokohama office and donate the proceeds from the sales to this organization.
In FY2024, we donated approximately 660,000 yen to support their participation in various competitions.

Since FY2013, we have participated in "Table For Two" (abbreviated TFT), a program in which every time an employee eats a specific menu item at the company cafeteria, the company supports school lunches for children in developing countries. 
In total, we have donated 1,356,000 school meals, and since 2017, we have been recognized as a "Platinum Partner," TFT's top supporter, for nine consecutive years.

 Every April, we hold the Mitsuzawa Park Clean Walk, an event for employees and their families, combined with attending a match of our sponsored soccer team, NHK Spring Yokohama FC Seagulls.
This event allows participants to enjoy cleanup activities while deepening exchange and having fun together. Approximately 100 employees take part each year.

NHK Spring has supported the Yokohama City Wind Power Project since 2017 as a sponsor of the Hama Wing wind power facility. At the annual Hama Wing plant tour, held in conjunction with the global wind energy event Global Wind Day, NHK Spring participates as a Hama Wing supporter by providing children with items such as colorful springs and an educational booklet, Spring Guide for Kids.
