Providing Support to the Areas Devastated by the Tohoku Earthquake

We would like to first and foremost express our deepest sympathies to all those in the areas affected by the Tohoku Earthquake. Our hearts are with them and their families.

At this time, we have over 500 people in the devastated areas working very hard to provide support in getting the numerous water facilities around Tohoku up and running again. Going forward, it is our intention to increase the number of people we have providing various types of support so that those in the area have as soon as possible, the necessary foundation on which to begin their lives anew.

We would also like to announce that we will be providing monetary support in the amount of 100 million yen to be used in both rescue and rebuilding efforts.
