Contribution to Local Communities

As a good corporate citizen, the TOK Group is involved in a broad spectrum of volunteer, educational and other social service activities in the regions in which it operates, in order to reach out to and enhance communication with local communities.

Environmental conservation activities

At the Aso plant, personnel participate in the forest preservation activities organized by Aso Green Stock, a public interest incorporated foundation with the intention of improving and enhancing the watershed cultivation function* within the Aso region and to establish an environment with a sustainable ecosystem. TOK designated an area on the north somma of Mt. Aso (736 m2) as the TOK Forest” In 2023, 31 employees worked to weed the area, cut bamboo, and engage in other activities on three occasions. At the Koriyama plant, personnel collected stranded aquatic plants in Lake Inawashiro, located in the approximate center of Fukushima Prefecture. Because stranded aquatic plants decay and decrease the water quality, the removal of aquatic plants is an important environmental conservation activity that serves to maintain water quality.

The company also dispatched six employees to participate in the afforestation activities with residents of Kanagawa Prefecture through the Kanagawa Trust Midori Foundation. TOK will continue to preserve biodiversity with the intention of starting a ripple effect inside and outside the company and spreading biodiversity activities throughout society.

"Noryosai" (TOK Technology and Innovation Center（TTIC）, Shonan Operation Center)*

TOK held the 33rd annual summer festival "Noryosai" at the dormitory and Company housing complex adjacent to the Shonan Operation Center in August 2019. Many local residents, employees of business partners and others attended the event.

TOK employees sold food and other items at booths and held a traditional obon dance. It was another opportunity to provide an enjoyable evening for people of all ages.
