NIPPON ROAD CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Toshiyuki Ishii) has made a donation utilizing the "Corporate Furusato Nozei" (hometown tax) system to the "Project to Create Jobs and Ensure Safe Working Environments in Yusuhara Town" in Yusuhara Town, Takaoka District, Kochi Prefecture (Mayor: Motofumi Takahashi). On March 26, 2026, a certificate of appreciation presentation ceremony was held at the Yusuhara Town Hall, attended by three representatives from our company, including Toshihiko Kasai, Managing Executive Officer and General Manager of the Corporate Management Division.
In 2008, our company, Kochi Prefecture, and Yusuhara Town concluded a three-party partners' agreement for the "Collaborative Forest Creation Project with Environmentally Advanced Companies." Since then, we have been working on preventing global warming and creating a rich forest, which is the cornerstone of local industry, at the "Nippon Road Forest" in Yusuhara Town, western Kochi Prefecture.
Yusuhara Town is advancing a project to revitalize abandoned farmland into a "vineyard" to contribute to regional revitalization. Our 2025 Corporate Furusato Nozei donation will be used to expand this vineyard business, positioned under the "Project to Create Jobs and Ensure Safe Working Environments in Yusuhara Town." As a company, we expect that by having our employees participate in the planting and harvesting of grapevine saplings, we will contribute not only to the local community but also to improving employee engagement and enhancing corporate value.
The following day, on March 27, we moved to the Kawanishiji district where the vineyard is located, and planted about 50 grapevine saplings together with four employees from our Shikoku branch. The harvest is scheduled for three years from now, and the project ultimately aims to produce 1,000 bottles of wine annually.
