Together With Local Communities

To show our appreciation of local communities and to further deepen the understanding of the Akebono Group's business, we proactively undertake initiatives that contribute to society.

In line with Akebono's Corporate Mission, as members of society, our associates continue to take steps to maintain and expand these initiatives.

Due to the easing of COVID-19 prevention measures, local government events have resumed. We have restarted accepting social study facility tours and workplace experience programs for elementary and junior high schools in Saitama Prefecture. While continuing to take precautions to minimize infection risks, we are carefully conducting activities, such as participating in the Hanyu Sawayaka Marathon.

At each manufacturing site, activities in FY2024 were carried out with continued attention to infection risks. Community meetings (5 times, 34 people) and volunteer cleanup activities (6 times, 36 people) have gradually increased in frequency, although they remain fewer than pre-COVID levels.

Moving forward, we will continue to promote initiatives that enable us to learn and grow together with local communities, striving to build collaborative relationships.
