Donations to the Nagoya Pediatric Cancer Fund
Shachihata believes in the work of the Nagoya Pediatric Cancer Fund and has donated to this fund as part of its social contribution activities. This fund focuses on pediatrics in Nagoya University Hospital, and was established to help save as many pediatric cancer patients as possible. Nagoya University Hospital treats the most pediatric cancer patients in all of Japan. It is also involved in supporting pediatric cancer patients in developing countries. Donations are used to implement the latest diagnostic and treatment techniques.
Animal welfare contributions from sales of Capless 9 (name stamp)
A portion of sales is donated to Nagoya Animal Shelter to help realise its goal of ensuring that all animals find homes.
Visits to Indonesian schools in earthquake disaster areas
Palu, Sulawesi in Indonesia was struck by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake in 2018. More than 100 local schools collapsed during this earthquake, forcing students to continue their studies in temporary structures. Shachihata worked with local dealers in visiting disaster-stricken schools to deliver 500 sets of school supplies to students, and to donate whiteboards and uniforms to schools. We plan to continue to cooperate on recovery efforts.
Efforts to save the endangered Japanese rice fish
In our efforts to preserve biodiversity, we are engaged in the removal of invasive species and the conservation of Biotope Nagaoka in Inazawa City, which has been designated by the Ministry of the Environment as a Nature Coexistence Site. Biotope Nagaoka is a 0.1338 hectare biotope established in 2011 through the Management-oriented Farmland Consolidation Project, with the aim of creating a local recreational space and providing habitats for native species. The site is managed by the NPO Longhill Net, which conducts various conservation activities, including an annual observation event in April and an annual pond draining program. In recognition of our support for these initiatives, Shachihata has been certified as an Aichi Biodiversity Certified Company.
Eco-cap program
Shachihata has continued to participate in the Eco-cap programme since the 2010 fiscal year.
Under this programme, participants gather plastic bottle caps in order to donate vaccines. Incinerating a kilogram of caps (430 caps) generates 3,150 g of CO2. However, caps could instead be recycled as plastic materials, with 860 caps enough to purchase a polio vaccine for one person.
