Implementation framework
The Aisin Group expresses its global social contribution through various initiatives, with each of our 21 locations worldwide collaborating in their respective regions with NPOs, NGOs, and others.
Strategy
Our social contribution effort rests atop three pillars: nature and environmental conservation, youth development, and community development. Through these activities, we are actively working toward the internationally recognized UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030.
Nature and environmental conservation
We take part in environmental conservation initiatives to help pass on a better natural world to future generations and ensure a sustainable global environment.
Youth development
We support the healthy growth of young people who will lead the next generation, molding them into individuals who can add to society throughout their lives.
Community development
In our work to develop society as a whole, we promote the development of communities that are safe, secure, livable, and vibrant for all.
Key initiatives
Nature and environmental conservation
We partake in such activities as tree planting in the areas surrounding our offices in various countries, through which we hope to contribute to the global challenge of achieving carbon neutrality and conserve environmental resources. We also pursue environmental conservation through activities like cleaning nearby coastlines and rivers.
The GREEN & BLUE Project to nurture our forests and oceans
This initiative is designed to contribute to achieving carbon-neutrality by harnessing the CO₂ absorption capacity of terrestrial and marine vegetation. Related activities include forest management measures, such as tree planting and thinning and mangrove forest cultivation and restoration, undertaken at Aisin Group locations worldwide.
Our goal is to plant 800,000 trees between 2023 and 2030.

Adopt a Forest program with Nagano Prefecture
Aisin supported an Adopt a Forest project in Neba Village, located in the headwaters of the Yahagi River used by Aisin for industrial water. Through collaboration with a nearby university, we conducted “forest creation activities” connecting people and forests. Working with local municipalities, we help to conserve the natural environment through environmental education, tree planting, and other experiences.
Youth development
In communities where the Company operates, we offer children various educational support programs, such as hands-on workshops using Aisin's technology.
We also work to improve the vitality of local community life and promote youth development through sports.
Aisin environmental learning program
The Aisin Group joins with government agencies and NPOs to provide outreach classes throughout the year for elementary school students. These classes offering learning opportunities that guide students in eco-friendly practices applicable to daily life and raise environmental awareness.

Sports clinics hosted by Aisin's sports teams
We host basketball camps run by the B.LEAGUE's Seahorses Mikawa, sumo friendship events at nearby nurseries presented by sumo clubs, and mochi pounding events. We also provide opportunities to experience sports, such as sports clinics for elementary school students hosted by the Aisin Tealmare professional volleyball club.
Community development
We engage in communication with residents near our company locations and with NPOs/NGOs, conducting activities covering many topics, including traffic safety, health and welfare, community support, and building a recycling-oriented society.
Traffic safety events around the world
As an automotive industry participant, we promote traffic safety education and awareness events for local communities at all Aisin Group locations worldwide, aiming to help society achieve a rate of zero for traffic accident fatalities and injuries.
(FY2025 results: 205 events)
Wide-ranging donations in various fields worldwide
We make donations worldwide to areas where it is difficult to provide direct support by staging events. Donations come in the form of food, clothing, school supplies, toys, and other items. We also contribute a portion of revenue from donation-linked vending machines to external organizations that support children with rare diseases and promote water projects in developing countries. We have also provided regular support for the “TABLE FOR TWO” initiative since 2009, which provides school meals in developing countries, and have delivered 2.1 million meals to date.
The Aisin Group has been certified as a Platinum Partner, the highest level, for 12 consecutive years.
