Job Shadowing Program
Chiyoda has accepted student visits from high schools located in the Yokohama city since FY 2014.
By giving students opportunity with cross-sectional cooperation to observe and experience actual work environment of an engineering company, and to talk with Chiyoda employees, we support them in their effort to think about what they want to work for.
Hiroshima Municipal Motomachi Senior High School Student Visits
On October 1, 2024, Chiyoda convened a lecture for 32 students from Hiroshima Municipal Motomachi Senior High School in Hiroshima prefecture, covering our catalytic technology and hydrogen supply chain.
Following the lecture, the students endeavored to create innovative and ideal plant design drawings in a team sharing exercise with Chiyoda employees. We hope that this experience will deepen their understanding of engineering companies and expand their future options.

The CSR activities have also contributed to conservation of the forest in Kamaishi, Iwate, through the "ECO coin" system*1.
- The number of people who participate in CSR activities are converted to the ECO coins. By using such ECO coins saved for 1 year, we purchase "the saved ECO coins x 500 yen" worth of CO2 absorption credit.
- FORESTOCK Certification is a certification system by the Forest Management Association of Japan that certifies CO2 absorption by forests under appropriate management and converts the amount of absorption to credit to be issued.
