The IHI Group uses its technological capabilities and human resources to help create a rich and livable earth, and engages in social contribution activities that increase the Group’s value. In line with the medium-term management plan Group Management Policies 2023, the Group has established a Three-Year Policy for Social Contribution Activities (FY2023–FY2025).

Policy
Three-Year Policy for Social Contribution Activities (FY2023–FY2025)
Under the principles regarding responsibility to local communities and the international community set forth in the IHI Group Basic Code of Conduct, the IHI Group has established two priority areas for its social contribution activities: “coexistence with local communities” and “development of next-generation professionals,” in accordance with the Three-Year Policy for Social Contribution Activities (FY2023–FY2025). The Group will continue to pursue such initiatives in fiscal 2026.

Relevance to Business
SDGs
Coexistence with Local Communities
Establishing and maintaining good relationships with local communities is essential for smooth business expansion.
Development of Next-generation Professionals
Conducting activities that support STEAM education, etc., and supporting future research in science and technology fields will enrich the foundations of future industry and is essential for improving understanding of the products handled by the IHI Group, and expanding our business.
Strategy
Risks
If there is insufficient dialogue with local communities, the IHI Group’s business activities may have a negative impact on the local natural environment and livelihoods. As a result, relationships with local communities may deteriorate, which may impede the continuation of existing businesses or the launch of new businesses. Additionally, if good relationships with local communities are impaired, the Group’s public reputation may decline, potentially affecting its corporate value.
Opportunities
Establishing and maintaining good relationships with local communities is essential for smooth business expansion. In particular, collaboration between industry, academia, and government to address regional issues such as the development of next-generation professionals will enrich the future industrial base and improve the efficiency of internal and external networks. The IHI Group feels that this will also help with business continuity and growth.
