In March of this year, Taiyo Oil made donations using the Regional Revitalization Support Tax System (corporate version of hometown tax scheme) to municipalities closely associated with our business activities. The purpose of these donations is to support initiatives addressing local issues in each region.
In 1915, Aoki Sekiyu, the predecessor of Taiyo Oil, moved its base from Takaoka Town, Kochi Prefecture (currently Tosa City), where it was founded, to Yawatahama City, to expand its business. Following the establishment of Taiyo Oil, the company’s Head Office moved to that location in 1943 and remained there for the next 18 years.
Senior Vice President Mikio Murakami, Senior Vice President and Shikoku Operations General Manager Junichi Ishikawa, and General Affairs Department General Manager Yuichi Watanabe attended the ceremony and handed over the donation list to Yawatahama City Mayor Ichiro Oshiro. This donation will be utilized for projects aimed at improving the child-rearing environment and enhancing education, as part of the "Projects for the Future of Children in Our Hometown."
Taiyo Oil is committed to continuing our support for projects that contribute to the revitalization of local communities.
