Social Contribution
Policy and Approach
The ID&E Group traces its origins to founder Yutaka Kubota's philosophy of "act with integrity and contribute to society through technology and engineering." From post-war reconstruction support to the present day, we have provided solutions leveraging technology and expertise to address social challenges both domestically and internationally. This philosophy continues as our Group's guiding principle, forming the foundation for our officers' and employees' business activities. Beyond social contribution through our business operations, we provide opportunities for each employee to engage with local communities and participate individually in solving social challenges.

Educational Outreach Programmes
As part of our educational support for the children who will shape the future, the ID&E Group actively organises outreach lessons.
Japan-Kenya Friendship Sondu-Miriu Library Activities
Nippon Koei repurposed a construction‑related building to establish a library where children can freely read books, in collaboration with a local women’s group. The facility provides children with open access to books and a welcoming space for learning. Support continues today through volunteer employees, who sustain the initiative via donations and activity assistance, thereby contributing to local education and cultural enrichment within the community.
For specific initiatives in the fiscal year ending June 2025, please refer to the Sustainability Report 2025.
Supporting the Kubota Fund
In 1984, Yutaka Kubota, the founder of ID&E, established the Kubota Yutaka Foundation (Kubota Fund) using his personal funds. The purpose of the fund is to support technical personnel from developing countries in their studies and research in Japan. As part of its social contribution activities, the ID&E Group has continued to provide operational and financial support for the fund since its establishment. During the first year of the fund, it provided support for two people. In the fund’s 42nd year (2025), 219 people applied and 12 students from 12 countries including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Republic of Ghana were selected. The total number of fund recipients has reached 403 people from 52 countries. The ID&E Group will continue to support the activities of fund recipients in the hope that they will use their experiences in Japan to contribute to the development of industries and securing a better life for people in their home countries.
