Together with the Community
We engage in various social contribution activities in order to coexist harmoniously with society, our global community and nature ("Living Together").
CSR Briefing Sessions
The CSR briefing sessions we hold every two years for government officials and representatives of local community associations is just one of the ways we reach out to stakeholders. During a typical briefing session, participants are updated on our initiatives aimed at environmental conservation, safety, fire and disaster management, and community engagement. Each briefing session is followed by a demonstration of our products featuring excellent environmental and economic performance in order to help participants gain a better understanding of our eco-friendly products.
Enhanced Security for Export Cargo
We have taken steps to ensure security control of our products and parts, including 360-degree surveillance cameras installed in the area on the first floor of Plant No. 5 where cargo processed under the authorized exporters' declaration system is stored as well as replacing the fence around the plant with a new one.
Adopt-a-Road & River Program
We have been participating in Adopt-a-Road & River, a cleanup program organized by Osaka Prefecture, since 2004. We clean the sidewalk leading from the nearest train station to the plant's main gate once a month under the Adopt-a-Road program and clean the walkway along the left bank of the Hotani River that runs beside the plant once every three months under the Adopt-a-River program.
Conducting Career Lecture
In Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture, where our factory is located, we are implementing a program titled "Career Education" aimed at junior high school students. The program aims to create opportunities for students to think about professions and working. For 1st-year students, we offer career lectures, for 2nd-year students, workplace experiential learning, and for 3rd-year students we offer guidance for future paths. As part of this initiative, our factory received a request for a career lecture, and we conducted a remote lecture for 1st-year students from Nagao Junior High School. After the lecture, we received numerous questions from the students, and appreciated their high level of awareness.
Supporting Cookie Sales at Vocational Facilities
Nearby vocational facilities are supporting individuals with disabilities to work as members of society and achieve independence by making and selling cookies, allowing them to work happily alongside their peers. In order to support this initiative, we conduct monthly cookie sales at the plant.
Various Humanitarian Aid Activities
Mutual aid fundraising activity
We conduct a mutual aid fundraising activity every December. Donation goes to the Hirakata City Council of Social Welfare in order to help people who need supports.
Bell Mark collection activity
We collect Bell Mark from employees and donate them to Bell Mark Educational Grants Foundation.
Hosting Kyocera Festival
We host the annual Kyocera Festival for local residents, special guests, employees and their families. Every year, the main stage features a performance by the Hirakata Tsuda High School brass band, a wonderful dance performance by elementary and junior high school students from the Myster dance school, and amazing singing by Vox Chord, a Kansai Gaidai University a cappella group. The long lines waiting to get into the booths are proof positive that the festival is a big hit with everyone.
