Since February 2024, we have been promoting Midoriumu Action, which aims to realize a sustainable society by making environmental conservation activities a part of our everyday lives.
To foster awareness of environmental contributions, in the real domain we have created a venue for environmental conservation activities centered on tree planting, and in the digital domain, we operate a community website^* where people interested in the environment can interact with each other and participate in online events to learn about the environment.
In fiscal 2024, we held a total of five events, including a nature observation session using microscopes, providing participants, primarily families with children, with an opportunity to learn more about nature.

The Group runs baseball classes and basketball clinics throughout Japan. The sessions target elementary, junior high school, and high school students, and are coached by active players as well as retired players from the ENEOS baseball team and the ENEOS Sunflowers women’s basketball team.

Baseball Classes
Following our baseball classes in fiscal 2023, in fiscal 2024, we held a total of 10 on-site baseball classes for elementary, junior high, and high school students, with 532 participants. Baseball team managers, coaches, and current players served as instructors, not only coaching the students on techniques but also conveying their passion for the game.

Basketball Clinics
In fiscal 2024, we held a total of 72 clinics nationwide for elementary school students to high school students, with a total of 2,484 participants. Previous and current players served as instructors at the clinics, which attracted many students with no basketball experience, and not only provided technical instruction but also conveyed the appeal and fun of basketball.

ENEOS signed a sponsorship agreement with the Japanese Olympic Committee with the aim of creating a healthy society (realizing well-being through sports).
We provided support to 19 sports organizations in order to achieve the goals of creating sports opportunities for all people, creating a physically and mentally healthy society through the development of the next generation, and creating an environment where people can engage in sports safely and with peace of mind (contract period: June 2022 to December 31, 2024).

The ENEOS Group provides financial assistance so that children living in child welfare facilities can enroll in university or other institutions of higher education through the ENEOS Scholarship Program, established by the Japan National Council of Social Welfare (JNCSW).
In fiscal 2024, support was provided to 682 children, bringing the total number of recipients since the scholarship program was established in fiscal 2003 to 10,016.

Through the ENEOS TonenGeneral Research/Development Encouragement & Scholarship Foundation, ENEOS presents scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students studying science and technology and provides research grants to young researchers in order to contribute to the development of industry and industrial technologies.

Through the Tonen International Scholarship Foundation, ENEOS provides scholarships for international students studying at Japanese graduate schools as a way to promote friendship between Japan and other countries and contribute to greater society.

Since launching the ENEOS Xplora International Student Scholarship for international students studying in Japan in fiscal 2015, ENEOS Xplora has continued to assist international students from Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, which are involved in the company’s crude oil and LNG production business.

The Group continues to support the development of youth in Vietnam, one of the countries where we have operations, through a variety of social contribution activities.

Educational Support

Since 2006, ENEOS Xplora has provided scholarships to students in need through the Ho Chi Minh Association for Education Promotion, a public institution working to improve education in Vietnam. In fiscal 2024, scholarships were awarded to 32 students.
We have also made a donation of 100,000 US dollars to PetroVietnam University, established in 2011 by PetroVietnam, the national oil company of Vietnam, as a petroleum university whose goal is to develop human resources to lead the petroleum industry. Since then, we have continued to provide scholarships and funding for operations, hosted interns from the university, and provided guidance for the preparation of graduation theses.

The ENEOS Sakai Refinery and Mizushima Refinery hold sports classes for local children as a contribution to the development of the next generation. The instructors are volunteers representing the refineries’ sports teams (non-work activities), in which employees participate.
In fiscal 2024, the Sakai Refinery tennis team invited elementary school students with no tennis experience to the refinery’s tennis courts, where it held the Phoenix Kids Tennis Class. The Mizushima Refinery soccer club conducted a soccer outreach school as part of physical education classes at nearby elementary schools.
These activities are a valuable opportunity for children to experience the joy of sports. For the employees who act as instructors, the children’s smiles and determination are inspiring, and they also feel a sense of enjoyment and fulfilment in being able to give back to the community.

ENEOS Renewable Energy’s dedicated department for promoting regional co-creation is working with local residents to implement a variety of initiatives. These include programs that contribute to regional revitalization and educational support for the next generation, including the establishment of scholarship funds.
As part of our educational support for the next generation, we provide notebooks with educational content free of charge. Three types of notebooks are available for first, third, and fifth graders. Each year, we update the pages to include information on environmental conservation and renewable energy, and distribute them to elementary schools in each of our business locations.
The notebooks produced for fifth graders in fiscal 2024 included an introduction to Shika Town in Ishikawa Prefecture, as well as a campaign to send messages of support to the elementary schools affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in January 2024. Over 1,000 messages of support were received from all over the country. In turn, the local community, including children and teachers of Shika Town, expressed its gratitude.

The Group has established venues for regularly interacting with local communities (local governments, schools, local community members, etc.), in order to continue activities rooted in the community. This includes hosting tours of refineries and plants, dialogue sessions and networking sessions. Employees also take part in local community events.
In dialogue sessions with local communities, we explain the Group’s environmental and safety initiatives, and through regular dialogue, we strive to deepen mutual understanding. In addition, we disseminate necessary information in a timely manner through community newsletters and other means in an effort to ensure mutual understanding and build relationships of trust with local communities.

At ENEOS oil refineries and depots, disaster drills are conducted in collaboration with local governments, fire departments and other relevant groups, using scenarios of a major disaster or an accident at a refinery.
In addition to carrying out practical drills to strengthen systems for cooperation in the event of a disaster, the company works to ensure that local residents can live their lives with peace of mind.
