Social Aspects

Corporate Citizenship Activities Community Building and Development

Basic approach

We are involved in various activities together with local government and communities so that we can listen to the opinions of people from the community and assist them in leading more prosperous lives.

Encouraging voluntary activities

Soccer lessons for handicapped people

We are engaged in special Olympic activities aimed at enabling handicapped people to experience the enjoyment to be gained from sport and to enable them to play a more active role in society through the medium of sport.

One of these activities involves volunteers from among AISIN employees, especially those belonging to AISIN's soccer team, providing instruction, Twelve such practice sessions were held in fiscal 2009 with the participation of around forty five people on each occasion.

Voluntary activities involving the Department Head Group and the Section Head Group

Every year, centering on the Association of General Managers and the Association of Managers, AISIN engages in various voluntary activities such as cleaning up welfare facilities and making donations and activities involving conservation of fireflies in Nishio City in Aichi Prefecture.

Promotion of charities

Holding concerts that people with disabilities can readily enjoy

AISIN has held the Aisin Sawayaka (“refreshing”) Concert every year since 2003. These concerts enable local community members and employees with disabilities to enjoy classical music and other events along with their families. We pay careful attention to installing wheelchair paths at the concert venue.

At the 7th concert, held in March 2009, we invited 95 members of the local community—for a total of 177 people, including employees—to enjoy the musical performances of students from the local Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music. Attendees said they were “moved and revitalized by the powerful voices,” among other praise.

Courses in friendly communication

In collaboration with regional organizations such as social welfare councils in nine cities in Aichi Prefecture, we are holding a course that we hope will give residents the chance to take part in volunteer activities.

The All AISIN NPO Activities Support Fund

A part of the proceeds from the sale of tickets for charity concerts held every year are given to organizations engaging in voluntary activities to provide them with essential support.

In fiscal 2009, we solicited applications from organizations looking for funds between late October and mid November and donated a total of 2 million yen at the end of February.
