Social Contributions

Our company contributes to local communities through education for the next generation and environmental conservation activities.

Nurturing the next generation

“Shiga Colle Karuta” distributed to kindergartens

As an activity to help local kindergarteners learn about our company, we participated in the ``Shiga Colle Karuta'' community revitalization project, which incorporates Shiga Prefecture's famous spots and history. We donated approximately 130 sets of karuta cards containing our original bills to nearby kindergartens.

Factory tour for elementary school students

As part of our contribution to the local community, we offer factory tours to local elementary schools. We introduce what our local company makes and what kind of activities we do, and provide opportunities for social studies.

Work experience for high school students

We accept high school students from industrial and commercial fields to gain work experience in manufacturing. We are working to provide a place where students can experience working at a manufacturing site and help them choose a career path.

Activities of the Shiga Prefecture Invention Association

Through the Shiga Prefecture Invention Association, a general incorporated association whose president is the president of our company, we carry out activities to help children feel the joy of creation and to develop an interest in manufacturing and science. Every year, we sponsor the Shiga Prefecture Children's Invention Exhibition and the Shiga Prefecture Future Science Dream Painting Exhibition, which are held for elementary and junior high school students in the prefecture.

Environmental protection

Cleaning activity

We are participating in Shiga Prefecture's ``Movement to Beautify Lake Biwa'' as part of the Shiga Prefecture's environmental conservation movement, and are conducting cleanup activities around the Nagasawa River, which connects to Lake Biwa.

In 2018, the Batam Plant in Indonesia planted 1,000 mangrove trees on Batam Island as an activity that contributes to global warming countermeasures and the restoration and conservation of the natural environment.

Coastal park cleanup activities

As part of our local environmental beautification activities, the Loyang Plant in Singapore is cleaning up the nearby coastal park, Pasir Ris Park.

We support and are working on activities to recycle empty contact lens cases. Empty cases from employees' homes are collected internally and recycled through retail stores.
