Cooperation with stakeholders
Why is it important?
We place importance on working with all stakeholders, including customers, local communities, governments, NPOs, and employees, to create innovations and maintain sustainable business operations while helping to build a sustainable society. We actively engage in stakeholder dialogues with an eye to enhancing our corporate value.
Our Approach
We, at the Toyo Aluminium Group, contribute to social and economic activities of the local communities through our production and employment activities. Furthermore, in collaboration with the local community, we also support local cultural activities and environmental protection efforts, and are engaged in the Food Bank and other support activities through NPOs. We also emphasize contribution to nurturing the next-generation citizens through encouraging their company visits (accepting junior or senior high school students), planned by NPOs. Other activities include, for example, volunteer local clean-up activities by employees and volunteer help activities for communities hit by natural disasters; through these various activities, we will actively promote movements contributing to the sustainable society, so that we can enhance our corporate value.

OUR PERFORMANCE
Educational field trip for senior high school students as part of the initiative for nurturing the next-generation citizens
In October 2018, eight juniors of Moka High School of Tochigi Prefecture visited Osaka Office of Toyo Aluminium K.K. as part of their field trips. This project was realized in conjunction with “School Support Center,” an NPO. The project is aimed at encouraging students to visit companies, learn about industrial activities in society and job diversities, so that they can acquire much broader and brighter visions about their future jobs, based on more knowledge and wider perspectives.
The students vastly learned not only about organizational activities and an overview of our aluminium products, but also joy of manufacturing products for customers, and how R&D systems work and how people actually work at work sites.
We will accept the students’ visits so that these learning opportunities for the next generation will widen their options for their future careers, and seek every possibility for coordinating our efforts with NPOs.
