The Special Olympics is an international sports organization for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

The aim is not only to promote physical development and help the athletes to improve their athletic abilities, but also foster their courage and determination to take on new challenges, and to have them share in the joy of accomplishment and the joy of living. We are proud to support these sporting events through the provision of its sports facilities and volunteers from its employees.

We invite people from welfare facilities and students from schools for the people with disabilities to attend. The concert is organized in collaboration with eight Toyota Group companies which are located in Kariya city.

Providing NPOs and Others an Opportunity to Sell Their Products

We set up booths for NPOs and other welfare organizations at various company events in order to give them the opportunity to sell their products directly. As a part of our efforts, we added their products such as bread, pudding, cream puffs and cakes to the menu of our Kariya and Takahama plant’s cafeteria. Such menus are very popular among our employees.

Supporting the "World Terakoya Movement" and "Hunger Free World" Organization

The World Terakoya Movement supports the creation of educational environments for people around the world who cannot read or write or do simple calculations. The Hunger Free World organization undertakes activities for the purpose of eradicating hunger and poverty. The employees from Toyota Industries Group companies supply un-mailed postcards, used pre-paid telephone cards, and used CDs or DVDs that are then donated to both of these worthy causes.
