The Aisin Group supports TABLE FOR TWO International’s TABLE FOR TWO programs, which on the one hand support children in developing countries suffering from hunger and on the other hand prevent lifestyle-related diseases among employees. Since 2009, the group has been collecting ¥20 per healthy, low-calorie meal eaten by an employee (¥10 from the employee, ¥5 from the company, and ¥5 from the cafeteria). The amount has been donated for children in developing countries to afford one school meal.
