The AGC Group (Japan) has been implementing the Glass Power Campaign since 2005 to promote the use of laminated glass for disaster resistance. As part of this campaign, we launched a project to donate laminated glass for disaster resistance to schools designated as evacuation centers and have already made donations to 23 schools across Japan. In December 2010, we donated the glass to Nishitoyama Elementary School in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. On the day of the donation, we also held a special class for the students of the school and let them experience the effect of laminated glass for disaster resistance and the high heat insulating and solar control performance of Ecoglass (Low-emissive double-glazing glass). We also communicated to them the fact that glass, which is a familiar product to them, contributes to mitigating earthquake damage and solving the climate change issue.

The Elizabethtown Plant (Kentucky) of AGC Automotive Americas, which manufactures and sells automotive glass, aims to bridge the gap between Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) within the workplace and at home, as a core goal. To achieve this goal, the plant has been conducting an environment and safety campaign called "Live the Green Life" since fiscal 2008. At the third "Safety and Environment Children's Day" held in fiscal 2010, "Behavior Based Safety" game and a safety slogan contest were held. A banner on which the slogan that won the 1st prize at this contest (Safety is the key at AGC, for it to be it's up to me) was put up at the factory for the duration of this campaign. Through this activity, employees of the plant can share the importance of the environment and safety with their families, friends and local communities.

AGC Glass Europe (AGEU), which manufactures and sells raw and processed glass for the construction, automotive and solar industries, communicated its environmental message at the Brussels Half Marathon, "20 km through Brussels," in spring 2009. Twenty athletes from all sites in Belgium wore the green T-shirt of the campaign "Going Green" which is aimed at creating a climate conducive to tackling environmental problems by all employees. They appealed the importance of being conscious of preserving our planet and launching to market products that respect the environment. No less than 27,000 participants (individuals or companies) joined this marathon and it was covered by a large number of media organizations. Also in 2010, members of AGEU participated in the marathon to continuously communicate their environmental messages.
