For the emergency relief of victims and the restoration of affected areas, in March 2011 Sumitomo Chemical donated 300 million yen to the Central Community Chest of Japan. The Company also collected donations from executives and employees and donated these funds, about nine million yen, to the affected areas in Miyagi, Iwate, and Fukushima Prefectures as well as to employees who had suffered direct damage due to the earthquake. We also donated relief goods such as blankets and daily use goods to the areas via an NGO (World Vision Japan) and Keidanren (Japan Business Federation).
