Hachioji Area

Participation in the Kitanomachi Emergency Drill

On October 27, 2019, the Hachioji General Plant participated in the emergency drill conducted by Kitanomachi, Hachioji. The Plant displayed and distributed papers that summarized the maps of the local evacuation areas and the flooding hazard maps, as well as introducing and distributing Nissui’s fish sausages as part of emergency stockpiles.
In 2019, the Asa River, which flows through Kitanomachi, reached flooding levels, due to a large typhoon making landfall, which has prompted many participants to take a look at the papers, especially the flooding hazard map. The Plant was also able to communicate to the residents of the area that fish sausage could be kept for approximately four months at room temperature and could be used as a source of high-quality protein in emergencies.

Providing Well Water During Emergencies

There is a deep well on the premises where the Hachioji General Plant, and the Group companies, Chilldy Co., Ltd. and the Hachioji Office of Carry Net Co., Ltd. are located. The water from the well, under strict daily water quality supervision, is being used in the plants and the offices.
The Hachioji General Plant, in preparation for water supply stoppages due to various causes including natural disasters, has made an arrangement to offer this well water as drinking water, by entering into the “Disaster Control Measure-related Agreement” with the City of Hachioji. This arrangement is part of Nissui’s regional contribution activities borne from the desire to be of service to the people living in the same community in emergency situations as well as in ordinary times.

Himeji General Plant

On August 25, 2023, the Himeji General Plant entered into an “Agreement on the Supply of Drinking Water, etc., at Time of Disaster” with Himeji City. This agreement stipulates that in the event of a major disaster such as an earthquake, flood or major fire, the Plant will supply stored water to local residents for drinking and other purposes at the request of the city.

Supporting the Restoration of Iglesia San Francisco de Asís de Alao

As part of our sustainability initiatives that emphasize the preservation of regional culture and harmonious coexistence with society, SA has supported the restoration of the Iglesia San Francisco de Asís de Alao on Chiloé Island. Constructed in the early 18th century, this church is among Chile's oldest wooden churches and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its distinctive architectural style, built using locally sourced timber, symbolizes the fusion of Spanish missionary influence and indigenous culture, serving as a spiritual and cultural cornerstone for the local community.
With its headquarters on Chiloé Island, SA believes that preserving this historic structure is vital for passing on regional pride to future generations. In collaboration with local community members, we have actively supported the restoration efforts. Moving forward, we remain committed to continuing to work alongside the local community through sustainable salmon aquaculture, striving to pass on Chiloé Island's natural environment and historical heritage in harmony with the community to future generations.
