ITOCHU Taiwan’s CSR
Given that ITOCHU is an enterprise indispensable in today’s society,
it must also take its responsibility as a member of society in its corporate operating. We realize that an enterprise and society are interdependent. As a good corporate citizen, we have no reason to shirk any social responsibility.
The policies of our social responsibility have been formed through anticipation and uneasiness from many other enterprises and involved persons, followed by the reflection coming up from daily communication. We have endeavored to formulate the policies favorable to society, in hopes of becoming an enterprise to be trusted in society.
The company is currently an avid participator trying to contribute to society and the environment. It will continue to do so in the future, so as to aggressively promote corporate social responsibility.

ITOCHU Taiwan participates in book donation and tree planting activities
ITOCHU Taiwan participates in book donation and tree planting activities Sawaki Itochu, the president of ITOCHU Taiwan, led 42 participators constituted by employees and their family members to join the tree planting activity held at Yilan’s Tongfeng Farm. The activity was initiated by Taiwanese Leisure Farming Development Association, who offered cherry and azalea flower seedlings. Anyone who donated books in the activity was eligible to receive a free flower seedling for planting. In this activity, ITOCHU Taiwan donated 300 books to Tongfeng Farm, which would be distributed to children’s homes in Taiwan and Aboriginal Culture Exchange Association through Taiwanese Leisure Farming Development Association.

It was the first time that ITOCHU Taiwan participated in the CSR activity. It was a fine and soothing day and the activity was wrapped up in a peaceful and joyful atmosphere. Through the activity, the participating employees and their family members all learned a lesson about resource recycling and carbon reduction through tree planting to protect the Earth. Hence, the first step for ITOCHU to carry out its social responsibility for environmental protection is to grow the cherry and azalea flowers it planted in this activity and thrive with them.
