Nishitetsu Social Contribution Month

The Nishitetsu Group designates September, the anniversary month of its founding, as “Nishitetsu Social Contribution Month,” and promotes social contribution activities throughout the Group. Various activities were carried out at each company and department, with the aim of creating a pleasant and happy society. In FY2025, 1,262 people from 42 companies participated in Nishitetsu Kids Work Experience School, running classes by the Track & Field Club, solicitation and donation of used books and other materials, beautification and greening activities, blood donations, and food assistance. The Nishitetsu Group will continue its social contribution activities in the future.

During “Nishitetsu Social Contribution Month,” 1,097 employees from 34 Nishitetsu Group companies participated in cleanup and greening activities. We cleaned up the areas around our offices, stations, bus stops, parks, beaches, and more, to clean up local communities for our customers and local residents.

Nishi-Nippon Railroad’s Public Relations and CS Promotion Department held a running class in collaboration with the Nishitetsu Track & Field Club at Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City Park. This event was held as part of the “Nishitetsu Kids Sports Class,” which is designed to teach children the appeal and fun of sports, and was attended by 35 elementary school students. The athletes gave advice on how to train and tips on how to run faster, and also shared the joy of running with the children by sweating it out with them in relays and running games. Blessed with fine weather, the running class was full of smiles and energy.

The Nishitetsu Kids Work Experience School was held by Nishitetsu’s Public Relations and CS Promotion Department for elementary school children. Last year, 171 children participated, divided into 54 classes, and experienced various jobs at the Nishitetsu Group, including bus driver and advertising creator. The participants thoroughly enjoyed themselves, as they could see behind-the-scenes of work normally out of sight, and challenge themselves to do the work they have always dreamed of doing.

Nishitetsu Auto Body Tech, Nishitetsu M-Tech and Nishi-Nippon Railroad held blood donation events. Many employees participated in the event with the hope of contributing to medical care and society in any way they could.
