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.

The Nissui Group company, Salmones Antártica S.A.(SA), is engaged in the business of farming, processing, and selling salmon in Chile. While salmon aquaculture is a thriving business on Isla de Chiloé, in the Los Lagos Region, where SA is headquartered, the high-quality salmon products are almost all exported overseas, and generally on the Isla de Chiloé, the local resident can only get their hands on the substandard products or products whose sources are questionable.
In 2013, the year in which SA commemorated the 25th anniversary of becoming a member of the Nissui Group, it opened an antenna shop in Castro, the center of the Isla de Chiloé, to sell its safe and reliable salmon products. The antenna shop became extremely popular resulting in strong sales and providing the opportunity for the local residents to get to know the high-quality products of SA. In response to its popularity in Castro, SA decided to open a second shop in Santiago, the capital of Chile in November 2019. By opening a shop in Santiago, SA has been able to bring its salmon products to an even greater number of people.
SA, a pioneer in salmon farming in Chile, has been selling the FIVE STAR brand products to its customers around the world but going forward it also hopes to become a company that is loved by its local residents.

Participation in Educational Program "Idea Meetings" of Expo 2025, Osaka, Kansai, Japan

Continuing on from FY2020, in FY2021, as a company committed to the SDGs, we participated in the “Ideas Meeting,” which is part of an educational program project (Note) conducted by Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025. A total of nine companies, including Nissui, took part in the program. The Ideas Meeting is an opportunity for schools and companies working on the SDGs to exchange ideas. In FY2021, the meetings were conducted entirely online, with companies introducing their efforts to achieve the SDGs, followed by questions from junior high school students regarding their initiatives and an exchange of views.

In FY2021, a total of 50 elementary and junior high schools in the Kansai region participated in the program, and Nissui held idea meetings with the seven schools listed below. After these Ideas Meetings, the students will present their findings at the Junior EXPO in February 2022 (which is dubbed as “A place for the sharing of ideas about how to make all life shine through the classroom”).

The feed plant of the Nissui Group company, Salmones Antártica S.A.(“SA”), is located in Los Ángeles in the State of Bio-Bio. Many indigenous people live in the Trapa Trapa Region near the Andes mountain range in the same State. The village of Ralco in this region is home to over 70 such households where the people in winter are completely isolated from the rest of the world for months due to the snow. SA donates food to these households, as a way of supporting the livelihood of the people faced with mobility difficulties. SA is involved in an activity to support and protect the indigenous people.

The Nissui overseas group company, King & Prince Seafood Corp. (K&P) manufactures and sells frozen foods in the USA. On December 9, 2019, K&P was awarded the 2019 Business Partner of the Year Award at the 12th Business & Education Summit (Note) held in Gainesville, Georgia.
K&P, which is located in Brunswick, Georgia, has long been engaged in support activities for the local charter school, Golden Isles College and Career Academy (GICCA). K&P was given the award in recognition of its various commitments toward the school, including holding guest lectures by employees, providing counseling sessions to students, participating in the school’s strategic plans, recruitment of graduates, in addition to providing financial support. K&P also accepts GICCA students for hands-on training and the students expressed their satisfaction with the program with such comments as, “I’ve been able to work closely with the people in the shop,” and “It will also help me because I’ve never had a job experience.”
For K&P, activities to support GICCA represent not only a way to invest in the future through human resources development but also to contribute to the regional community by protecting the local, high-quality educational institutions.

(Note) The Business & Education Summit: The summit which is sponsored by Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan and awards companies, educational institutions, and students that have contributed to the expansion of career education and the development of the labor force in the state of Georgia.
