Corporate Citizenship

After several years of exchanges, on April 4, 2019, the cities of Castellón and Ube formally signed a sister city agreement in Ube City. In attendance at the signing were the Ambassador of Spain to Japan and a delegation from the UBE Group. During 2019, UCE contributed to the exchange funding the dispatch of a Castellón University student to Yamaguchi University, receiving the Ube City official mission to Castellón and shooting a special report by Yamaguchi Broadcasting Co., Ltd. The XXI Spain-Japan Forum was held in Castellón, at which UCE and city officials presented their case as an example of urban diplomacy and introduced the “Eco-Town model in Japan” as inspiration to advance the circular economy of plastics in Spain.
The Volunteer Promotion Group participated in various volunteer events, with a total of 360 hours of voluntary work by 94 UCE employees. The UCE Open Door days for employees and family was held with 430 visitors taking part in the event.
