Over the past fifty years, the world’s ecosystems have degraded at an unprecedented pace and scale. Protecting biodiversity and preserving healthy ecosystems has become just as urgent an environmental priority as tackling climate change. We’re also mindful of the role our business plays within the communities where we operate.

At the F-TECH Group, we actively support initiatives that help conserve biodiversity, guided by the F-TECH Company Creed and our vision of building a sustainable, thriving society. We’ve also published the F-TECH Biodiversity Guideline as part of our broader commitment to CSR across the Group.

Looking ahead, we’ll keep expanding our efforts, not just in environmental protection and biodiversity, but across the full range of the SDGs.

Main Activities

Joint Food Drive Donation Ceremony” (co-hosted with Saitama Resona Bank)

This initiative collects food sitting unused in people’s homes, before it would otherwise be thrown away, and distributes it to facilities and organizations that support those in need, such as children’s cafeterias (“kodomo shokudo”), as a way of supporting local livelihoods.

In November 2024, our company and Fukuda Engineering (an F-TECH subsidiary) spent two weeks collecting a total of 476 items (335 food items and 141 daily necessities), which were donated to nine children’s cafeterias in Kuki City and delivered to children in need of support.

Since 2021, we have run food drive activities as part of our commitment to giving back to the local community. Through this initiative, we encourage employees to donate unused food from home to people who need it, rather than throwing it away. This not only helps reduce unnecessary waste but also gives our employees a meaningful way to contribute to the community.

Our donations may be small, but we believe they have the power to bring real happiness, both physical and emotional, to the people who need our support.

Bizenhorikawa River Cleanup Activity (Kuki Plant / Saitama Prefecture, Japan)

The Kuki Plant carries out cleanup activities along the nearby Bizenhorikawa River.

Adopt Program (Kameyama Plant / Mie Prefecture, Japan)

The Kameyama Plant helps clean and maintain the green belt just north of the plant, land owned by Kameyama City. We were the first participant registered under the city’s Adopt Program.

Under this program, local citizens “adopt” nearby public spaces, like parks and green areas, and volunteer to keep them clean, free of litter and overgrown weeds, for everyone to enjoy.

The Haga Technical Center also carries out cleanup activities in the Haga Industrial Park.

Shirasagi Park Maintenance Activity

Kuki City and F-TECH recently signed a “Flowers and Greenery” partnership agreement aimed at promoting biodiversity conservation rooted in the local community.

As part of this agreement, we joined Kuki City residents at nearby Shirasagi Park to weed and prune the park’s lavender. The lavender we harvested was later put to use at a craft booth during the “SAITAMA Environmental Fair & Children’s Eco Festival.” We look forward to continuing this partnership with Kuki City to support biodiversity and help build a sustainable local community

Overseas Social Contribution Initiatives

India Steel Summit Private Ltd. (ISS)・India

Upgrading school infrastructure to improve learning conditions for local students

As part of a broader school infrastructure initiative, we supported a combined primary and lower-secondary school in Raipur Bangar. The project included renovating classrooms, upgrading sanitation facilities, introducing ergonomic desks and chairs, and installing interactive smart panels for digital learning. We also installed a rainwater harvesting system and new playground equipment, and provided school supply kits, uniforms, and stationery for children from underprivileged backgrounds, all aimed at giving them a safer, more modern place to learn.

Kindergarten Support (La Mina)

After receiving a request for support from a kindergarten in the rural community of La Mina, FPMX’s maintenance team refurbished used company tables, adjusting the leg height to suit young children, and donated them to help create a proper environment for meals and learning. In April 2026, we also ran a fire safety course for the children, fire extinguisher training for parents and teachers, and a mini-garden workshop to help build environmental awareness. In total, the initiative reached 17 children and 15 parents. What made this project most meaningful to us was the chance to help give the next generation of children, regardless of their background or circumstances, access to a dignified environment and quality education.

Brigada Eskwela

Brigada Eskwela (National Schools Maintenance Week) is an annual initiative led by the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd), in which teachers, students, parents, and other stakeholders come together to prepare public schools for the new school year.

On June 4, 2026, five employees from FPMI and three from FRDP took part in Brigada Eskwela, contributing both materials and labor to repair classroom desks and chairs. FPMI provided used computers, cleaning supplies, and paint, while FRDP donated a projector, sanitary supplies, and additional paint. Together, the two companies completed the renovation of one classroom, and used the leftover paint to repaint three more. The equipment and supplies we donated will continue to support students’ and teachers’ learning environment well beyond the event itself.

Back-to-School Drive

From August 11 to 21, 2025, FRDNA ran a back-to-school supply drive for the Lincoln Community Center in Troy, Ohio, a nonprofit that supports local children and families through after-school and summer education programs. Employees contributed needed supplies, and those who wished to also made personal monetary donations. In addition, the company made a separate direct donation to the center.

FPA volunteers also helped run the Salvation Army Cantina, a mobile food truck that provides free weekday lunches to children in Piqua, Ohio, during the summer. Across the summers of 2025 and 2026, the program served more than 1,500 meals to children, supported by 50 volunteer hours and the participation of six FPA employees and three of their family members.

On December 25, 2025, FMTL supported a year-end event at an elderly care facility, providing gift sets worth 5,000 baht as prizes for resident activities aimed at boosting morale and quality of life (QOL) among elderly residents. This initiative has helped raise employee awareness of aging society issues while also strengthening ties with the local community. In recognition of these ongoing CSR efforts, FMTL received the “CSR-DIW Continuous Award 2025” from Thailand’s Department of Industrial Works on March 25, 2026. The award recognized FMTL’s sustained commitment to social and environmental responsibility, selected from among 418 facilities nationwide.

In addition, during FPG’s “Family Day” on October 19, 2025, we held a canned food donation drive to support the Rome-Floyd Community Kitchen, which provides meals, hygiene services, and food assistance to hundreds of people facing food insecurity in the community each week.

F&P Mfg., Inc. (FPC)・Canada

Donations and Honey Contributions

Rather than providing direct support to individuals, FPC supports the local community through organizations equipped to deliver assistance effectively to those who need it. This year, we donated to the Nottawasaga Foundation, which distributes funds to registered nonprofits providing health, medical, and social support to families, as well as to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation, which supports hospital expansion. In addition to monetary donations to a local food bank, we also contributed surplus honey harvested from bees kept on company property.
