We contribute to local communities by participating in traffic safety campaigns organized by local police departments.

At a bicycle safety class for children at an elementary school near our Tokyo Head Office, we distributed a traffic safety drill that summarized key points for riding a bicycle. We also distributed booklets for elderly drivers at a traffic safety campaign for the elderly held at Shinagawa Station. In addition, we distributed drills summarizing points to be aware of when commuting to and from school for first-year students at nearby elementary schools and other measures. We are working to spread awareness of traffic safety with the support of local police departments.

Employees of Toyotsu Logistics Service Co., Ltd., a Toyota Tsusho Group company, stood by the sides of public roads at domestic worksites to campaign for traffic safety during the spring and autumn National Traffic Safety Campaigns. At the Miyoshi Logistics Center I and II, and other domestic sites, all employees including executives took part in the campaigns. They urged drivers on public roads, company commuters, and delivery truck drivers to drive safely.

We participate in cleanup campaigns to support environmental conservation of the Fujimae Tidal Flat extending across the tip of Fujimae, Minato district, Nagoya City. The campaign had three goals: 1) to make Fujimae Tidal Flat worthy of the Ramsar Convention, 2) to restore the tidal flat and river so that children can play safely, and 3) to form a network to think about waste and water in the entire river basin. A total of 27 employees and family members from Toyota Tsusho and its Group companies participated in the fiscal year 2023. Fujimae Tidal Flat serves as a vital stopover sites for many kinds of migratory birds. Located near the company's Nagoya Head Office, it's an urban oasis for wildlife. Unfortunately, a lot of garbage still ends up on Fujimae Tidal Flat and the surrounding shorelines, and problems such as microplastics and fishing waste are growing. Going forward, we will continue to work together with local citizens groups and the government to protect valuable environmental resources.

As part of our contribution to local communities, we hold monthly cleanup activities in neighborhoods close to our Tokyo and Nagoya head offices. In fiscal year 2023, 324 employees from Toyota Tsusho and its Group companies participated. Going forward, we will continue to proactively organize beautification campaigns and fulfill our role as a local corporate citizen.

The vision of Eurus Energy Holdings Corporation, a member of the Toyota Tsusho Group, is to become a trusted corporation that grows hand-in-hand with local communities. To this end, every year the company invites members of the public to tour more than 40 wind and solar power generation plants it operates in Japan. During the tours, visitors learn how wind and sunlight generate electric power, see actual windmills and solar panels close-up, and enhance public understanding of the electric power industry.

Our Group Companies, Toyotsu Chemiplas Corporation and Toyota Tsusho Fashion Express Ltd., are concerned with the issue of marine debris, and with the cooperation of the marine environmental NPO, OWS, are conducting marine waste collection on the Miura Peninsula and hosting a photo exhibition on the topic of marine pollution.

Toyotsu Chemiplas Corporation and Toyota Tsusho Fashion Express Ltd., believes that experiencing marine debris firsthand will help people think about what is needed to solve the issue, recognize the need to tackle it, and link these efforts to corporate activities in the future.

Since fiscal year 2015, we have collaborated with NPO The Life Style Research Institute of Forests to deliver wooden educational toys to Japanese children. Wooden blocks, puzzles, and stamps for hiragana and katakana phonics characters are made out of wood collected from tree-thinning in Japan's forests. When carrying out these activities, we take care to inform our employees of the state of the forests that are being thinned, as a means of raising environmental awareness and contributing to society.

In fiscal year 2023 employees took part in these activities entirely at home. A total of 96 employees from Toyota Tsusho and its Group companies created three boxfuls of educational puzzles, which were donated to local children's homes as part of our local community contribution activities.

Fuji Sangyo Co., Ltd., a Toyota Tsusho Group company, collects waste cooking oil generated at sites that provide meal services and offers it for recycling into biofuel.

Until now, cooking oil used for cooking has been solidified with a coagulant and disposed of as combustible waste. However, by supplying it as biodiesel fuel for ships, Fuji Sangyo Co., Ltd. is now able to contribute to a circulation-model carbon neutrality. The company currently provides approximately 1,000 liters/month from about 20 offices, mainly in Aichi and Shizuoka prefectures.

Since 2008, Toyota Tsusho has been participating in the Table For Two (TFT) program organized by NPO Table For Two International.

In this program, employees are able to donate ¥10 with each purchase of a designated menu item or drink at the employee cafeteria, and the company matches it by donating the same amount. A total of ¥20 per meal is donated through TFT to developing countries. This allows employees to eat balanced meals and improve their health against lifestyle diseases. At the same time, meals are delivered to schools in developing countries, aiding to mitigate against nutritional imbalance in the world.

Since 2020, we have also been holding walking events twice a year using a walking app in collaboration with TFT's health promotion program. For every 8,000 steps a day achieved by participating employees, one school lunch is donated to a child in Africa or Asia through TFT. This activity aligns with the concept of TFT, as walking for donation also helps employees improve their health.

Since 2020, we have been a supporting partner for the "Onigiri Action" campaign hosted by TFT to commemorate the UN-designated World Food Day on October 16. In fiscal year 2023, we provided onigiri boxed lunches in the company cafeteria during the campaign period.

In recognition of our support, we received a letter of appreciation and a partner badge from TABLE FOR TWO International.

We share with the Shanti Volunteer Association a belief that opening books is a path to opening the future, and we have participated in its Picture Book Delivery Campaign since fiscal year 2006. The campaign involves sticking local translations of original texts into Japanese picture books and delivering them to Asian children who have had no previous exposure to books. Since the picture books are made by taking materials to homes and other locations, the children of employees also help with the project. In fiscal year 2023, 372 employees from Toyota Tsusho and its Group companies participated in the project, completing 400 picture books that were delivered to Burma through the Shanti Volunteer Association. Going forwards, Toyota Tsusho will continue to support efforts to improve learning environments.

In line with the "Mobility for All" philosophy, our group company Toyota Jamaica Ltd. has donated a Toyota LiteAce to the Hummingbird Charities Project, Sole 2 Sole. Through this partnership, the donated LiteAce is being used to bring smiles and shoes to children aged 7 to 15 from low-income families on the island.

200 pairs of shoes have been donated to four schools so far. Moving forward, we will continue our efforts to bring happiness and support to children by delivering smiles and shoes.

Since fiscal year 2023, we have been registered as a "Help Mark Dissemination Partner" under the "Help Mark Dissemination Partnership System" implemented by Aichi Prefecture, and have been actively engaged in awareness-raising activities.

On December 6, employees who participated as volunteers distributed leaflets and novelties to visitors at a B1 League Fighting Eagles Nagoya game in cooperation with the Aichi Prefecture Welfare Bureau.

We will continue to hold educational events as a Help Mark Dissemination Partner.

Our company participates as a neighboring company in the "Summer Vacation Konan Club" at Konan Elementary School in Minato-ku, where we host direct hands-on experiences. We cooperated with para-athletes currently enrolled at Toyotsu Office Service Corporation and the coach of their club team to provide a lecture on para-athletics and an opportunity to realize that members that run short distances at different speeds who gather together can have fun by devising ways to compete. We will continue to provide a variety of experiences for children in the community.

Our company rugby team, BLUE WING, comprised of employees from across the Group, regularly holds rugby workshops for rugby schools, junior high, and high schools throughout Aichi Prefecture. These workshops aim to contribute to both the local community and the world of rugby. In fiscal 2023, six sessions were held with over a total of 300 children participating. Beyond rugby skills training, the workshops also focus on injury prevention through safe and effective body conditioning. Going forward, we will continue these initiatives to contribute to the healthy development of children and the revitalization of the community.

Toyotsu Fighting Eagles, the Toyota Tsusho Group's professional basketball team, holds skills clinics and invites community members to professional basketball games as part of its effort to support sports development, nurture youth, and galvanize the community. At the clinics, coaches and players from the professional team engage with young players by teaching new skills and playing practice games with them. In the middle of the basketball season, the Toyotsu Fighting Eagles also invites children and other members of the local welfare facilities to watch professional basketball games and witness the best players in the country at their sport.

In fiscal year 2023, the team held fewer clinics and distributed fewer invitations than in typical years. Despite this, even amid the pandemic, it disseminated instructional videos, gave presentations at elementary schools - which were carried out with full coronavirus countermeasures - and worked hard to maintain connections with the local community.

TTAS, a Toyota dealership in Myanmar, hosted a career experience event for children aged 15 and over from the Dream Train youth development home, managed by Japan Heart. The event invited the children to gain firsthand experience in sales, marketing, and after-sales service for them to develop interest and understanding of the automotive industry and envision future career possibilities. We are committed to contributing as a good corporate citizen by providing places of education in Myanmar.

The Toyota Tsusho Corporation International Student Scholarship program provides subsidies for self-financed overseas students enrolled at Japanese universities. By reducing the financial insecurity of students who have come to Japan from various different countries, the program seeks to enhance educational effectiveness, and contribute to the development of human resources capable of acting in a global society.

In fiscal year 2023, we provided overseas study scholarships to 30 students from 18 countries, mainly in Asia and Africa. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we held some exchange gatherings in May, and we resumed in-person networking events in October. Going forward, we will continue to use the program both to foster human resources capable of acting in a global society, and to promote international exchanges.
