Past Efforts

● Enjoy the Power of Language

Enjoy the Power of Language is a collaborative reading and music event launched by Itochu Enex in 2013 to support those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake through the power of words. The event is now held nationwide, offering people of all ages the chance to enjoy and experience the true beauty and weight of words as a way of connecting with others.
Former NHK announcer Motoyo Yamane, who retired as an outside director of the company in June 2024, and former TBS announcer Masako Shindo will serve as facilitators and readers at the event. Guests with connections to each venue will be invited each time. The event also serves as a way to revitalize the community, conveying the beauty of local life through unique talks that incorporate local culture and dialects, along with readings by language professionals accompanied by live music and videos.
These events are offered free of charge. In keeping with our commitment to remember the disaster since the event's inception, we ask our guests to make a voluntary donation at the event for the children of Fukushima Prefecture who were orphaned or left behind by the Great East Japan Earthquake, with all donations going to the foundation.

・ Videos from "Enjoy the Power of Words", with illustrations

In addition to donating face masks to medical facilities and nursery schools in each region, we also released videos from Enjoy the Power of Words readings and music sessions that we have hosted for parents and children at home, as we have been asked to refrain from leaving home.

 

● Family Day

Once a year, we hold a Family Day for our group employees to come to work with their children to give them a chance to experience the company. It is an activity that nurtures the next generation, enabling participating children to enjoy learning about the role of the company by exchanging business cards with the president and employees, touring offices and meeting rooms, and other activities.Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we created an online tour video of the workplace for mothers and fathers and a company profile video for children, which was enjoyed by the children of employees throughout Japan.

 

● Forestry Preservation through Corporate Version of Hometown Tax

We donated to forest preservation projects through Corporate Version of Hometown Tax in FY2021, FY2022 and FY2023. With those donations, we cumulatively contributed about 38ha afforestation and reduction of approximately 667t-CO2 in 5 years.
