Social Contribution Activities

Management Approach

As a company that engages in a broad range of businesses domestically and overseas, the Kawasaki Group believes that as a member of communities, we have a responsibility for making active contributions to the communities in which we operate.
Additionally, in the context of the SDGs adopted by the UN in 2015, expectations for corporations are high with respect to realizing sustainable societies.
Based on the Kawasaki Group Social Contribution Activities Policy, we are committed to pushing forward with our social contribution activities that leverage our human resources, technologies, and capital and are highly synergistic with our business activities.

The Kawasaki Group implements social contribution activities in various fields based on the Group Mission, “Kawasaki, working as one for the good of the planet.” We take advantage of our strengths and the capabilities of our employees for such activities. The key areas of our social contribution activities are as below.

1. The Kawasaki Group, as a corporate citizen, constructs good relationships with local communities and contributes to their development.
2. The Kawasaki Group supports the next generation who lead the future technology.
3. The Kawasaki Group preserves the environment and achieves sustainable society.

Key Areas in Our Social Contribution Activities

We carry out activities for supporting sports and community exchange events, mostly in regions where we have offices or works. In Okinawa, many of our employees have taken part in coral reef regeneration activities as volunteers.
Our aim through these activities is to contribute to the sustenance and development of local communities along with improving our presence in these communities.

As a company that specializes in technological development and its widespread application, employees of the Kawasaki Group develop science education programs and hold handicraft and experiment courses for elementary and junior high school students as well as online classes.

By carrying out these science education programs on a regular basis, we contribute to building children’s interest in science. Moreover, these activities help improve employees’ communication abilities and motivation while improving the Group’s brand reputation.

Striving to create a society that coexists with nature, the Kawasaki Group engages in forest conservation activities in the three prefectures of Hyogo, Kochi, and Tokyo. This also helps to build environmental awareness among our employees and promote personal exchange with our communities.

These activities facilitate higher environmental awareness among our employees and improve our reputation as an environmentally sensitive company. The amount of CO2 absorbed through these forestation activities is also calculated and disclosed.

Social Contribution Activities Performance Data

Note: Because the above figures are rounded to the second decimal place, the percentage figures may not add up to exactly 100%.

Note: 1. The above figures include expenses for donations, support funding, in-kind contributions, and requests for support from third-party organizations as well as the cost of labor of employees assigned to third-party organizations (the portion incurred by Kawasaki). They do not include internal cost of labor of employees or expenses associated with the use of facilities.

2. Because the Company recorded an ordinary loss in fiscal 2020, the percentage of ordinary profit could not be calculated.

We quantify the performance of main activities in the key areas of our social contribution activities as KPI to make further improvements to the effectiveness of these activities.
