Nishihara-cho Mayor Seishu Sakihara expressed the town’s appreciation, stating, “I can strongly sense that Taiyo Oil is passionate aboutengaging in activities together with regions and local communities.  We shall use the donations that we received on this occasion to support the lives of our residents.”

The “Nishihara-cho COVID-19 Cooperation Fund” is used for the distribution disinfectants and masks to facilities and so on that need such items to prevent the spread of the infectious disease COVID-19, and for assistance regarding persons who have been impacted by the related sudden economic downturn.
