Responding to natural disasters
Corporate Contribution through Secondary Disaster Prevention and Recovery
Kokusai Kogyo has a long history of CSR activities in the wake of natural disasters. In the immediate aftermath of the tsunami of March 11, 2011, Kokusai Kogyo was ready to deploy its vast resources and expertise to the disaster zone. Despite having a survey aircraft swept away by the massive waves, its aerial photography team was in the air at first light the morning after the catastrophe, relaying geospatial information back to be analyzed and interpreted by various experts such as seismologists, oceanographers, geologists and geographers. These extensive and voluntary surveys from the air and on the ground have provided the central and local governments and international agencies with data vital to their relief, recovery and reconstruction efforts.
In addition to fostering specialists in disasters and utilizing them in disaster prevention consulting, Kokusai Kogyo firmly believes that it has a social responsibility to implement its corporate policy of "ensuring that people can live life in safety" through such activities.
