Considering it our mission as a company to support the growth of children who are our future, we are engaged in educational and developmental activities in Japan and around the world.

Domestic social & community contribution initiatives
Contributing to communities through effective
use of material cutoffs
At Kyushu INOAC Co., Ltd., we are dedicating effort tocommunity contributions through the effective use ofpolyurethane foam material cutoffs manufactured at production
plants. Our production plants host regular workshops forchildren to make polyurethane stamps, squeeze toys,
Christmas wreaths and other fun items out of polyurethane
foam material cutoffs. We also make playground equipment forchildren to enjoy, which we donate to our clients’ on-premises
nursery schools, in addition to organizing “polyurethane parks”
at production plants. All of the playground equipment isplanned and produced in house, from “struck out” numberedbaseball pitching target grids with targets and balls made frompolyurethane foam material cutoffs, to bowling that uses
prototype plastic drink bottles, playground game sets including
polyurethane balls for “tamaire” in which children throw as
many balls into a basket goal as they can, and more. We
actively engage in these activities that prioritize time for social
interaction with people in the communities, which they alsoenjoy.

CSR REPORT 2022

Supporting young musicians
As an effort to support young musicians, we held a classicalmusic concert hosted by INOAC Corporation in the Small Hallof the Suntory Hall concert facility in Tokyo. The concert wasperformed together with the Tokyo Symphony Chamber
Orchestra to give young musicians an opportunity to perform
in an actual live concert. As part of our efforts to support
culture and the arts, we also allowed free invitations byadvance drawing to offer a chance to enjoy the concert tothose who normally have little exposure to classical music,
and we allowed admission to elementary school ages and up.
The audience felt relaxed and right at home at this concert
held in a relatively small hall, and they were full of praise forthe event afterward.

Providing thermal insulator to an elementaryschool in Hakuba
At Hakuba Minami Elementary School in Nagano Prefecture,
we conducted a decarbonization project to reduce heating
usage and CO2 emissions by thermally insulating classrooms
to keep the rooms warm. Adding a thermal insulation designthat did not exist when the elementary school was built, webelieve that lessening impact of changes in the outside
temperature and improving energy efficiency has helped toreduce heating costs in winter, promote health, and boost
motivation for learning. INOAC supported this project andprovided Thermax polyisocyanurate foam thermal insulator
boards which were used. Sixth graders at Hakuba Minami
Elementary School also performed some of the installation
work for the thermal insulation themselves. INOAC willcontinue to actively support similar thermal insulation efforts
by providing our products.
