Nippon Express (India) Private Ltd. (P. Krishna Murthy, President; hereinafter "NE India"), a local subsidiary of Nippon Express Co., Ltd. (Mitsuru Saito, President), has fully launched social contribution activities for local communities in which employees can participate.

To date, NE India has carried out a variety of social contribution activities such as donating relief aid to areas affected by floods and constructing and donating washroom facilities for schools. In addition to these activities, the company has been examining activities in which employees can participate and "work up a good sweat."
Based on suggestions from employees, the company has designated the fifth Saturday of the month, of which there are several each year, as a "day for activities," and it started implementing the activities on a company-wide basis in June. Employees are able to participate in the activities as long as doing so does not interfere with their ordinary operations, and the company has introduced a support system to make it easier for employees to participate.
The company's main branches have been holding discussions, and its employees have been independently planning the content of activities. As a result, about 80% of all employees participated in activities on the fifth Saturdays of June and August.
