Supporting Disaster Reconstruction and Other
Establishment of the KANEKA UNITED Kizuna Foundation
In fiscal 2018, Kaneka decided to move toward ESG Management. KANEKA thinks “Wellness First.” Under this management philosophy, we established the KANEKA UNITED Kizuna Foundation in September 2019 to help areas severely affected by natural disasters, such as a typhoon and an earthquake, return to normal and healthy condition as soon as possible.
The Foundation is financed by the company and regular voluntary contributions from our directors and employees who agree with the purpose of the Foundation. We regularly recruit new supporters and post an annual report each year, and the provision of donations is reported on the company intranet.
Relief Efforts Following 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake
Kaneka provided relief following the Noto Peninsula earthquake that struck on New Year’s Day, 2024.
Immediately after the disaster, we provided 1,000 disaster relief blankets and bottled drinking water to Kanazawa City.
To assist victims and help restore affected areas, we donated a total of 10 million yen to Ishikawa Prefecture through the KANEKA UNITED Kizuna Foundation as relief funds.
We hope for a swift recovery and reconstruction of the affected areas.
