Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance contributed to the publicity campaign for the 2005 Special Olympics World Winter Games by locating a PR booth for the games in its Nagano branch office.
  About 50 volunteers were dispatched to the booth to assist with pre-game PR and event information, and to answer questions and provide assistance throughout the games. Doctors from group companies were also available over the telephone to provide medical counseling as needed. The company also provided support money and contributions from employees, along with contributions from other Mitsubishi companies, including Mitsubishi Corporation.
  The Special Olympics provides year-round training and athletic competition to more than one million people with intellectual disabilities in over 150 countries. Every two years, thousands of Special Olympics athletes come together to showcase their athletic skills. The 2005 Special Olympics World Winter Games were the first such winter games held in Asia. They were held from February 26 through March 5, drawing about 2,600 athletes from 84 countries around the world and featured intense and inspiring performances.

For thousands of years, shorebirds in North America have migrated along the Pacific Flyway between what is now the U.S. and Canada in summer and Mexico's beaches in winter. The activities of humans, latecomers to the beach scene, have threatened to end the birds' long-established access to their habitat.
  Recognizing the importance of the shorebirds' struggle, the Mitsubishi International Corporation (MIC) Foundation has made grants to environmental organizations in Mexico and the U.S. to fund the establishment of wetland sanctuaries for migratory shorebirds along Mexico's coastline. The grant to Pronatura, the leading organization for private land conservation in Mexico, and the American Bird Conservancy will assure the continuation of wetlands along the coast of the State of Sinaloa, considered to be one of the most important regions of the Pacific Flyway.
  The new grant builds on an earlier contribution by the MIC Foundation to the American Bird Conservancy to establish sanctuaries in Sinaloa and Guerrero Negro on the Baja Peninsula. Established in 1992 by Mitsubishi International Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation, its parent company, the MIC Foundation's mission is to support environmental protection and sustainability, human rights and poverty alleviation. The Foundation has contributed nearly US$2.5 million to organizations supporting environmental causes and civil society in the Americas.
