We have established a "Social Contribution Policy" in our Basic CSR Policy, and as a good corporate citizen, we engage in a variety of activities, including contributions to environmental preservation.

We support Ghibli Park　

We are an official partner of "Ghibli Park," which opened on November 1, 2022 in the Expo 2005 Aichi, Japan Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park).
Expo 2005 Aichi, Japan (Moricoro Park) has created a lush green park, inheriting the philosophy of Expo 2005 Aichi, Japan, which demonstrated "love for people, animals, and the Earth" under the theme of "Nature's Wisdom". We also sympathize with the direction that Aichi Prefecture, the project entity of Ghibli Park, is aiming for, and by endorsing it as an official partner, we aim to contribute to environmental preservation, cultural and artistic promotion activities, and regional revitalization under our social contribution policy. At the same time, we hope to raise awareness of the environmental activities of the entire Minebea Group, and to provide an opportunity to think about global warming and biodiversity.
Through our endorsement of Ghibli Park, we will continue to make further contributions to the creation of a sustainable society.

We are involved in a variety of cleanup activities

Support for IoT Smart Trash Can "SmaGO”

Since July 2022, we have been supporting the operation of "SmaGO," an IoT smart trash can, in Hisaya Odori Park adjacent to our head office in order to contribute to the environment in the area surrounding our head office.
“SmaGO" is an IoT smart trash can that operates on solar power and requires no power source. When trash accumulates, it automatically compresses it to about 1/5 of its original size, reducing the number of times it needs to be collected without overflowing. In addition, since the trash accumulation status can be managed and analyzed in real time on the cloud through the communication function, efficient trash collection is possible, and it is expected to reduce collection costs and CO₂ emissions associated with collection work.
And from April 2023, we are supporting the Smart Action Project in Omotesando, Tokyo, using the 34 "SmaGO" units installed and provided on sidewalks along Omotesando, Tokyo. This project is a new challenge for a recycling-oriented society, starting with the proper disposal of garbage. By combining a sustainable garbage collection system starting in Omotesando with art by HERALBONY artists, we aim to create new value for society while enjoying art, and to realize a sustainable society and a society that recognizes diversity.

Cleanup Activities with NPO HAPPY PLANET

The NPO HAPPY PLANET and our group employees (voluntary participation) regularly conduct clean-up activities around the Hisaya-odori area where our head office is located. These activities are part of the “Health Challenge Campaign,” an internal health promotion program, and employees who participate are given cafeteria points to encourage their participation.
