Social Contribution Activities
Social Contribution Activities
Based on the Corporate Ethical Standards, the Hanwa Group positions contribution to the environment and local communities as an important responsibility. In FY2025, employees at our domestic and overseas bases took the lead in implementing social contribution activities aimed at coexistence with local communities and environmental conservation.
Mangrove Planting and Cleanup Activities in Thailand
At HANWA STEEL SERVICE (THAILAND) CO., LTD., we conduct mangrove planting and cleanup activities annually with the aim of promoting understanding of the local environment and conserving ecosystems. 51 employees participated in FY2023, 56 in FY2024, and 48 in FY2025. This activity is a valuable opportunity for employees to deepen their understanding of environmental issues, while also contributing to ecosystem conservation and climate change countermeasures.
Participation in the World Heritage Conservation Activity "Michi-Bushin Walk"
In Wakayama Prefecture, home to the World Heritage site "Kumano Kodo," maintenance and conservation activities for the ancient trails are continuously conducted through the "Michi-Bushin Walk" program, in which companies and organizations participate. Since our founding family has ties to Wakayama Prefecture, employees participated in FY2025 as well, contributing to the conservation of cultural heritage through cleanup work and path maintenance.
Cleanup Activities around the Osaka Head Office
We continuously conduct cleanup activities around the Osaka Head Office by employees every year. We work on environmental maintenance of sidewalks, planting strips, and surrounding facilities, contributing to the creation of a safe and comfortable environment in the region.
Providing Financial Assistance for Education
Hanwa Scholarship Program Overview
Hanwa Scholarship Program, a public interest incorporated
foundation, was established in April 1957 to commemorate our
tenth anniversary.
Jiro Kita, our founder and the first president of the
foundation, had himself had a hard time working his way
through school and wished to provide assistance to help
students financially to foster human resources that will
benefit the nation. He dedicated 10 million yen to establish
the foundation when the capital of the company was only 100
million yen.
In FY2015, a bursary program for
international study was introduced, and approximately one
million yen is granted for one year of study. In FY2021, the
bursary program was extended to students in Japan, and 30
thousand yen per month of financial assistance is being paid.
Because these are both bursaries, they do not need to be
repaid. We are thus seeking to establish financial assistance
programs that meet the needs of the times.

Looking Ahead to More Achievements
Since transitioning to a public interest incorporated foundation in April 2011, the Hanwa Scholarship Program has continued to develop smoothly, with total assets reaching approximately 700 million yen and over 1,200 scholarship recipients to date. Many scholarship alumni continue their advancement in society—in academic, governmental, and legal professions in addition to industrial ones.
