Contributing Activity Topics
In September 2021, we began purchasing goods from vocational aid facilities
to support the financial independence of people with disabilities who workat these facilities or at home. At our Kosai, Washizu, Tottori, and Takasaki
plants, we have adopted products made at vocational aid facilities as prizes
for employees who participated in the company's “Walking Campaign” and“Grand Golf Tournament” event activities.
In addition, as an occupational program for people with disabilities, theTottori Plant provided a massage treatment experience provided by a schoolfor the visually impaired. The treatment was provided by 3 students to 9
employees for 15 minutes per person. We believe that this was a good opportunity for the participating students to increase their enthusiasm for future
study and certification.
In addition, at the Kosai and Washizu plants, vegetables grown by peoplewith disabilities are purchased as ingredients for the plant cafeteria and included in the lunch menu to support people with disabilities through food.
We will continue to promote a deeper understanding of people with disabilities throughout the company and actively provide financial support.
