Under a 3Rs^* theme, Lintec Advanced Technologies (Taiwan), Inc. conducted activities for the effective utilization of unwanted old clothes. In March 2021, we asked employees to donate their old clothes, and filled 13 cardboard boxes with the donations collected. While offering some of the donated clothes to people in need via a social welfare organization, we asked designers to rework the remainder to transform them into hats, eco-bags, and bottle bags. In May 2021, we sponsored a charity concert organized by the organization and sold the upcycled items at a bazaar held concurrently with the concert, donating the proceeds. Many visitors came to our booth with interest and seemed to realize that even unwanted items could be recycled as useful resources if reworked and given a new life. We will proactively promote initiatives for the development of a sustainable society through cooperation with people in and outside of our company.

• ^★3Rs: Reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Every year from July 20 to 22, the Uchiwa (fan) Festival is held in the city of Kumagaya where the Kumagaya Plant is located. In fiscal 2021, the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the plant dedicated fans to the Yasaka Shrine in support of the festival. The plant will sponsor again the festival next time it is held.

Every year, the Komatsushima Plant forms a Lintec Ren to participate in Tokushima Prefecture's Awa Dance Festival, which is one of the biggest summer festivals in Japan. In 2021, the festival was held on a significantly reduced scale, which prevented Lintec from taking part.
In fiscal 2022, Lintec made the decision to refrain from participating in the festival in light of the COVID-19 risk even if the festival were to go ahead.

Every year the Lintec Group provides tours of its plants and facilities in Japan to numerous students, representatives of local authorities, NPOs, and community residents. In fiscal 2021, we scaled back these activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a total of 26 visitors being welcomed at four sites.

Lintec provided cooperation for food distribution events organized by Tokyo's Itabashi City and Itabashi Council of Social Welfare. The events were held to distribute food to single-parent households and elderly households in need of support due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In June and September 2021, we provided canned food and retort pouch food taken from our emergency food stocks. In December 2021, we offered gift cards for fried chicken as Christmas gifts, in addition to emergency food stocks, to around 200 appreciative households. We will continue to cooperate for food distribution events.
Although the annual events in which we invite people with disabilities to attend a professional baseball game and the Fureai Concert were cancelled in fiscal 2021 for the second consecutive year, we will continue to proactively carry out activities that help people in local communities through cooperation with local governments.
