Social Contribution Activities

Social Contribution Policy

We value contact and communication with people in each country and region.
As each employee voluntarily engages in social contribution activities as a member of the local community, this can lead not only to the development of the local community, but also to contribution to social issues. We hope that the awareness and fulfillment gained there will lead to improved motivation of the employees themselves in their life and work.

  • 1.Through our business, we will create a society where our company can coexist with the local region.
  • 2.We will cooperate with the local community and promote continuous activities that grasp their requests, expectations, and needs.
  • 3.We will raise employee awareness of volunteering and encourage and support community programs.

In order to train a diverse range of personnel who will be responsible for the future, we aim to engage in human development for the next generation through traveling lectures and the operational support of the Kondo Memorial Foundation.

We support operations at the Kondo Memorial Foundation*. The foundation contributes to the development of society by providing scholarships for personnel training, and research grants for academic promotion.
