Social Contribution
Basic Stance
Based on our Corporate Philosophy of "the company will promote corporate growth while fulfilling the following responsibilities as a good corporate citizen," we will contribute to the creation of a pleasant society as a member of the local community, while enhancing our social value through contributions toward social value.
Highlights of Initiatives in FY2021
Social contribution activities during the coronavirus pandemic
We donated surgical masks, about 180,000 masks manufactured in-house, and about 3,000 face shields to local governments and medical institutions that are making daily efforts to deal with the spread of COVID-19. We also donated disinfectant solution and about 7,000 handmade masks collected from company members to local facilities for the elderly and disabled.




Four Core Areas of Our Social Contribution Activities
The Toyota Boshoku group strives to make a contribution to society, with active member participation as the driving force behind our activities in four core areas, namely activities with local communities, environmental activities, fostering youth through education, and contributing to disaster recovery assistance, aimed at meeting the expectations of stakeholders.
Activities with Local Communities
We work to vitalize local economies with activities that contribute to the resolution of social issues.

Relief clothing collection activities: Conducted ad hoc since 2000

Contributing to Disaster Recovery Assistance
