Contributing Activity Topics
In January 2021, Iwami Junior High School in Iwami, Tottori Prefecture, asked us to provide a lecturer for their “Comprehensive Study:
Learning from Hometown Teachers” session. In response, the GeneralAffairs and Human Resource Department of the Tottori Plant gave alecture. The lecture was based on examples and experiences of corporate initiatives from the perspective of the SDGs and on what students
should do now before entering the workforce.
In recent years, the SDGs have become an important topic inschools, as they have been included in high school entrance exams.
We believe that this lecture was a good opportunity for the students(83 first-year students) to acquire a deeper understanding of the SDGs.
