Next-generation education support
Donations to local elementary, junior high, and high schools
In February 2024, to commemorate the cumulative sale of 60 billion automotive fuses, we donated goods valued at ¥1 million each to Ogaki City Nishisho Elementary School and Seibu Junior High School, and goods valued at ¥2 million to Gifu Prefectural Ogaki Industrial High School, including pipe tents, clocks, and laser cutters.
Support for student formula activities
We provide free support for Hughes to the teams participating in the Student Formula Student Tournament. In addition, the vehicles participating in the Toyohashi University of Technology Automotive Research Department, which we sponsor, are exhibited at the head office factory every year to create a place for employees and students to exchange opinions.
Factory tour, acceptance of internships
We accept internships and factory tours for high school and college students so that more people can know about the manufacturing site. In addition, we accept technical intern trainees from Toyohashi University of Technology every year and carry out practical training for two months.
Environmental protection
Reduction of CO2 emissions
The new head office factory, completed in 2019, uses metal heat insulation sandwich panels on the walls and gas heat pumps for air conditioning. By managing the energy consumption and infrastructure equipment in each area of the factory with a central monitoring system, we have succeeded in reducing CO2 emissions by 30% or more compared to the old factory. In addition, beginning in fiscal year 2024, all electricity used at the Ogaki Factory will be sourced from Green Electric Power (Chubu Electric Power Mirai), which is CO₂-free. This initiative is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 3,800 tons annually.
Volunteer cleaning activities
We participate in garbage picking volunteers every year during the Ogaki Festival. In addition, we are making company-wide efforts to beautify the region, such as picking up trash around the head office factory and Ogaki factory twice a year.
"Forest creation through collaboration with companies" agreement
We have concluded a "Forest Creation in Collaboration with Companies" agreement with Gifu Prefecture and Ogaki City in order to preserve the rich natural environment.
Pacific Satoyama Forest
Since 2009, we have been promoting satoyama-making activities at the "Pacific Satoyama Forest" in Kamiishizu Town, Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture. We are creating comprehensive satoyama that is integrated with the local community, such as forest maintenance to protect safe, secure and abundant living spaces, and promotion of forest environment education using satoyama. (Cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the spread of coronavirus infection)
Regional promotion
Donate to local residents' association
In February 2024, to commemorate the cumulative sales of 60 billion automotive fuses, we donated items such as storage sheds and warehouses to five local communities—Kasage, Arakawa Kita, Arakawa Minami, Kusegawa, and Kido—where our headquarters and Ogaki Factory are located.
Installation of garbage station
We have established a waste disposal station on the company premises for use by the local community and residents.
Invention ingenuity exhibition
We participate in the "Gifu Prefecture Invention Kufu Exhibition" held by the Gifu Prefecture Invention Association, which exhibits and commends excellent inventions and works. There is a children's section, a general section, and a trademark / company mark section, and this exhibition is attended by a large number of people, from children to adults, professionals, and amateurs, and is helping to revitalize manufacturing in the prefecture.
Disaster support
Registration system for cooperation establishments in the event of a disaster in Ogaki City
In March 2020, the front yard of the head office factory "PEC GARDEN" was registered in the Ogaki City Disaster Cooperation Office Registration System. It will be used as a storage for relief supplies and a temporary shelter in the event of a disaster.
