INPEX held its eighth open house for the children and families of employees on August 25 at its head office in Tokyo, Japan. 31 INPEX employees and 33 children of elementary school age participated in the event held during the summer vacation period of elementary schools.

After learning about the company's business operations and its responsibilities to society, the children took a tour of the workplace and practiced the exchange of business cards. The children also participated in a stamp rally was held in the reception area, conference rooms and the Oasis lounge to get a feel for the office environment.

Feedback from the children included statements such as, "Exchanging business cards was difficult and made me nervous, but it was fun," and "It was good to know for the first time what my father/mother does for a living."

INPEX will continue implementing social contribution activities including education and empowerment initiatives.
