Announcement of Voting Results to Select Recipients of
Disaster-Resistant Glass Donation in Japan
- Glass Power Campaign – Thinking of Tomorrow for the Earth and for Children -

Asahi Glass Co., Ltd.

Under the Glass Power Campaign, a corporate disaster-prevention activity, AGC (Asahi Glass Co., Ltd.;
Head Office: Tokyo; President & COO: Kazuhiko Ishimura) has been donating disaster-resistant glass as
part of cooperative efforts for disaster prevention in local areas, and this donation program has been
conducted based on online voting results.
We would like to announce that this time the following two institutions have been selected as the twenty
first and twenty second donation recipients since the inception of this program: Taketoyo Town, Taketoyo
Elementary School (Aichi Prefecture) ; and Chuetsu High School (Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture).

In recent natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, people were often injured by broken glass and
evacuation centers were rendered unusable because of broken windowpanes. To help prevent such
injuries and damage, AGC has been carrying out a program to donate disaster-resistant glass since October
2005. This program aims at promoting the use of laminated glass and raising public awareness of its
disaster resistance properties: laminated glass is shatter-proof, and does not shatter into small pieces even if
it breaks. From 2008 we have donated disaster-resistant glass to designated shelters from among
candidate sites, based on final results of online voting by people who support the Glass Power Campaign.
The voting results for 2009 are as follows:
