3.11 Introduction of our activities during the Great East Japan Earthquake and future challenges.
Our company conducted support activities for the recovery of Iwate Prefecture for about three months starting from March 23, at the request of the Cabinet Office immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake. We provided assistance in delivering kerosene, light oil, and heavy oil fuel to coastal municipalities in Iwate Prefecture, as well as fuel delivery support for large corporations, including kerosene, light oil, heavy oil, and gasoline, along with other recovery support activities. We received a letter of appreciation for our recovery support, and the local community expressed their deep gratitude for our assistance. [Realization of the Necessity for BCP Measures] - We reaffirmed that oil is the most important energy source for future recovery and reconstruction. - It is necessary to maintain tank trucks and drums for the delivery of petroleum products during normal times as fuel for emergency generators. - Considering emergencies, it is necessary to store small amounts of petroleum fuel from normal times. - Large-scale oil tanks are often located in coastal areas, which have high disaster risks, making storage in inland areas safer. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

Company information
Since its founding in 1988, the Shuwa Group has been striving, albeit modestly, to reform the logistics of kerosene to provide our customers with "better products, at lower prices, and with greater convenience." By adopting a "door-to-door sales method" for delivering kerosene, we have expanded our sales area. With the cooperation of various suppliers in addressing the issues arising from the rapid increase in kerosene handling volume, we have become able to efficiently deliver large quantities using our own large tank trucks. The customers supporting our door-to-door sales "Shuwa" have reached approximately one million households, including in our founding region of Kansai, as well as Tokai, Kyushu, and Tohoku, solidifying our position as the top seller in kerosene retail in Japan.
