Every year, volunteers from Zeon Yamaguchi join volunteers from the Tokuyama Plant and local residents in a clean-up
effort on the Higashi River, which flows near the plant, and neighboring parks and roads. Employees also take part in
Shunan area sports events, including a softball tournament and 24-hour relay marathon, which helps foster friendly
relations with other participants. Some also entered full-marathons around Japan, all of which help to increase company
recognition.

Waterfront Fun Schools are extracurricular lessons held as visiting courses by the Ministryof Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism after they received a request fromelementary schools. An inspection of aquatic life in the Saba River in Hofu, which flows
through the residential area of 134 school children (and their teachers), is carried out inorder to “get to know the creatures that live in rivers from the perspective of riverprotection.” It was the first time we had participated in this activity as a company. On theday, staff from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and technicians

Instructing school children

from ZEON instructed the children on how to catch aquatic life, and how to classify them.
The participating school children had a look of great interest at this new experience as they were taught how to use
microscopes, which they don’t normally have access to, and how to classify aquatic life. They also made observations andcompiled the results, and learned about water quality in the Saba River. They were deeply impressed by these experiences.
The lesson was brought to an end with everyone safe and sound.
We will continue to plan support activities that contribute to the region through our business activities.
