Twice a year since 2010 the Nissui Group has been carrying out the “Cleanup Campaign,” activities to clean up the areas surrounding the Group’s domestic business locations around the country. In the advance information given prior to the cleanup, the participants learn that litter could potentially flow into the rivers and reach the ocean and that this activity is not merely a cleanup exercise but a way to prevent litter from flowing into the ocean, and are made aware of the relationship between this activity and Nissui’s business. Moreover, Nissui has approved the implementation of this activity during working hours to encourage employee participation.
In FY2022, 670 people from 42 business sites took part, picking up a total of 727 kg of trash.

Since 2017, Nissui, with the cooperation of the NPO, The Arakawa River Clean-aid Forum, has been learning about the river environment, experiencing biodiversity and conducting cleanup activities to pick up litter. These activities have been incorporated into the seminar for new employees since fiscal 2018. In the classroom, the participants listen to a lecture on the social issues surrounding the problem of marine plastics based on the latest data and come face-to-face with the problem in the subsequent fieldwork conducted on the riverbed. It gives participants the opportunity to think about the tasks that could be done by each person close to home in order to solve this problem.
In FY2022, in addition to training of new hires, Nissui trained the members of the Sustainability Promotion Committee, each of whom is appointed in each department as a representative. Participants could opt to attend lectures solely online. A total of 47 employees participated, including 36 who took part online.
