Asante's Initiative for Community Safety in Kochi

On May 15, 2026, Asante Co., Ltd.'s Chushikoku branch entered into a partnership with Kochi Prefecture and the Kochi Prefectural Association of Child Welfare Advocates. The agreement aims to promote community monitoring activities that ensure safety and security for households in need, particularly focusing on vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly.

Asante, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is well-known for its comprehensive home maintenance services, including termite control and moisture prevention. With this agreement, the company is committed to fostering a safe environment where people can live without concern. Asante plans to leverage its regular community visits to identify unusual situations and contribute to early detection of potential risks.

Goals of the Agreement

The main objective of the partnership is to actively engage in monitoring activities that enhance community safety. This includes ongoing visits to various neighborhoods, allowing staff to notice any irregularities or signs of distress among residents. When issues are detected, the staff will promptly notify the local Child Welfare Committee to ensure that the necessary actions are taken.

Types of Alerts

To ensure effective monitoring, Asante will focus on several key indicators, including:

• - Accumulation of newspapers, mail, or delivery notices in mailboxes or at front doors, indicating that the residents may not be home.
• - Failure to respond to staff's inquiries during visits, particularly in the case of elderly individuals living alone who may be unresponsive despite appearing to be at home.
• - Situations where staff visit a specified location and receive no response, despite repeated attempts to make contact through different means.
• - Recognizing difficulties faced by elderly residents or children in their daily lives.
