PREVIOUS PAGE: Diver in interior of Betty plane My dream history lesson includes a tropical Pacific island where I step off a beautiful boat soaked in sunshine the warm Micronesian waters and descend on a coral cov- ered ship that was part of World War II. This dream and these ships came to life for me during a recent trip aboard the MV Odyssey liveaboard. Truk Lagoon, now known as Chuuk, is most certainly one of the world’s greatest wreck diving destinations. These lush green islands with palm trees and calm blue waters make it almost impossible to fathom the immense battle that took place on the 17th and 18th of February, 1944. Under Japanese occupation dur- the United States took Japan by battleships, numerous cruisers, ing World War II, Truk served as almost complete surprise with two destroyers, submarines and other one of the Japanese Imperial days of daytime and nighttime support ships assisting the carriers.

Today in stark contrast, an entire fleet, which aided that destruction lies silently on the bottom of the lagoon-.After almost 70 years these vessels remain a museum to that conflict-but have been reborn-brought back to life by mother nature. I first visited these wrecks back in the early 80’s-about the same time as my adventures began in Egypt. But these wrecks are a beacon to the rest of the world in terms of conservation. In those 35 years I have seen little change in the Truk wrecks save some damage caused by livaboard vessels. Indeed the coral and fish life seems to get better as time goes on. Those responsible in Egypt should take note! The wrecks are all very well documented and this publication is a mere introduction to the wrecks and is intended as an introduction for those thinking of visiting Truk-I have selected a handful of my favourites-after 8 visits that list is growing!

Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha NYK Report 2020
Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha NYK Report 2020 Financial, Social and Environmental Performance Prologue Focusing on the Next Generation Brand New Vision We are looking ahead to the next stage of our integrated logistics business strategy centered on maritime shipping. Surveying the NYK Group reveals a multitude of insight, know-how, technological expertise, and comprehensive global networks developed through operations. Can we harness these elements to create completely new value? Can we realize the kind of value that is needed in the coming era? Inspired by these questions, we have created new goals and approaches for achieving them. NIPPON YUSEN KABUSHIKI KAISHA NYK REPORT 2020 1 Our Goal To play an essential role in society and industry as a Sustainable Solution Provider In supporting society and industry for 135 years, we have done much more than simply “transport” cargo. We have played an essential role in society because we have boldly taken on new challenges that no-one else has and achieved results. Today, we are witnessing the dramatic dawning of a new era. We believe that environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues constitute the key theme for value creation going forward. Taking a completely new approach, we will continue to play an essential role in the world as a corporate group, winning the favor of society in the new era. 2 NIPPON YUSEN KABUSHIKI KAISHA NYK REPORT 2020 NIPPON YUSEN KABUSHIKI KAISHA NYK REPORT 2020 3 Our Approach We will make an amazing transformation through a concerted groupwide effort.

Marketing History As Social Responsibility
13 Marketing History as Social Responsibility Christopher Gerteis In recent decades, it has become somewhat fashionable in Japan to recount one ’ s own personal history of the war and postwar years through a variety of public and private media. 1 Several of the chapters in this volume examine how cultural and political elites have deployed narratives of tradition and modernity as a means of constructing modes of local and national identity. This chapter examines the role that historical narrative plays in the public relations agenda of corporate Japan by investigating the ramifications of the attention given to shaping public perception of the company ’ s place in history. Most member companies of Japan ’ s twentieth-century keiretsu (corporate conglomerates that included Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo) regularly published, before and after the war, official histories as a means of enhancing corporate prestige. As a result, company history narratives, like many tropes of national history, often obscure more than they illuminate about the corporate subject. This chapter unpacks the way in which corporate history narratives have in recent years become interwoven with philanthropic initiatives, so-called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, in part developed to rehabilitate corporate reputation and enhance public perception of the private enterprise. Although developed for different purposes, and a little later than in the United States and Europe, CSR programs in Japan were quickly integrated into pre-existing public relations practices with the common purpose of shaping public perception of corporations ’ social and fiduciary responsibilities for a variety of hot-button issues such as industrial pollution and racial and gender discrimination. -
