■Wheelchair Doctors

Wheelchair Doctors, a volunteer group of our employees founded in 1996, visits nursing homes and hospitals every month, and performs repairs on more than 500 wheelchairs a year.

■Sales of goods produced by people
with disabilities

To help disabled community members at vocational facilities be self-supporting, we provide places for them to sell products in our cafeterias at nine business locations every month. The revenue is used to help finance the operation of vocational facilities.

■Contributions to community
child meal programs

Toyoda Gosei supports children and single parent households, which have a high poverty rate, by donating to child meal programs through facilities that support people in need in the community. In addition, sales of charity goods are held regularly at company cafeterias in cooperation with facilities for people with disabilities, and part of the sales proceeds and employee contributions are donated to community social welfare councils, which use them to fund child meal programs.

■Donations with money collected through
charity meals

In April 2010, we introduced the “Charity Meals program” at eight business locations, where 10 yen is collected for each meal served in the company cafeteria. This makes it easy for employees to contribute something to society. Wheelchairs and rehabilitation aids are purchased with raised funds and donated to special needs schools and welfare facilities.

■Food bank

Food in company emergency stores that is nearing its expiration date is donated to Second Harvest Nagoya, an NPO food bank, which then provides this food to people in need.

Toyoda Gosei Group Support Activities

■Support for the independence of people with severe disabilities (TG Welfare Co., Ltd.)

As hiring of the disabled grows, particularly at major corporations, TG Welfare, one of our group companies, is working to assist with the self-support of those with severe disabilities. To achieve not only stable employment but also social self-support, TG Welfare cooperates with employees’ family members and former schools to provide support that extends to various aspects of life.
