Together with the Community

Mie Prefecture is promoting the Kids' ISO 14000 Program (Primary Level) for elementary school students in order to raise environmental awareness through energy conservation activities at home. Designed to provide hands-on environmental learning opportunities, the program is implemented under the prefecture's basic environmental plan. We have been supporting this program and conducting environmental classes at elementary schools in Tamaki since 2005.

As part of our youth development initiative for the local community, we accept junior high school students in Tamaki into our internship program. The internships provide participating students with opportunities to experience warehousing operations, test the quality of the well water used in production processes, use optical and electronic microscopes for observation, and participate in a comprehensive disaster drill.

We team up with the labor union to participate in cleanup events at the Tamaru Castle Ruins organized by Tamaki Town every spring and fall. Designed to get everyone in the community involved in preserving and nurturing Tamaki Town's historical and cultural heritage, the event brings local organizations and companies together to work on mowing the grounds and cleaning up the site.

As part of our community contribution activities, employees conduct a year-end mutual aid fundraising activity and donate the money they've collected to the Tamaki Town's Social Welfare Council every year.

We hold the Kyocera Festival every summer, inviting local residents, suppliers, employees and their families. The festival features a host of popular booths and events, including a welfare bazaar, the Struck-Out pitching game, Fuwa-Fuwa Dome trampoline for kids, as well as a dynamic Yosakoi dance performed by Miyabi, a Yosakoi dance club from Kogakkan University. The fun-filled summer festival ends with a spectacular fireworks display, which has become an annual summer tradition.

We exhibit our products in a booth at the "Tamaki Eeyan-Matsuri," Tamaki Town's annual industrial fair aimed at promoting local industries, in order to help visitors better understand our environmentally friendly products. Visitors to the booth can have their photo taken with a digital camera, print it out with our MFP, and take home an original calendar featuring their photo.
