TICO Presents Autumn Concert 2009

By hosting a charity concert, we aim at boosting local culture and contributing to the sound growth of juveniles in local society. At our concert in FY 2010, we invited approximately 1800 people including 200 high school students who dedicate themselves to music to our concert and they enjoyed excellent classical music. Proceeds from this concert will be invested to holding small concert at local elementary schools.

TICO Environment Educational Program "Aim for 21st Century Monozukuri"

Aiming to make children realize the importance of environment-conscious manufacturing, Toyota Industries planned and implemented the educational program for elementary students. Through the program, students can learn our efforts such as solar energy generation, wind generation, geothermal utilization by participating in a plant tour where environment-related quizzes and experiments are also provided. After the plant tour they are asked to sort out any mudas/wastes that is hidden in their school life and imagine what they can do for the environmental problems and thereby they would be able to learn the importance of environmental preservation at school as well as at work.

Supporting Youth Invention Clubs to Help Youth Education

With the aim of contributing to the sound growth of youth, We support Youth Invention Clubs in each of areas where our plants are located. This support is provided in the forms of dispatching directors and instructors to the clubs, and financial assistance to cover the operating expenses and other club necessities.
Every year the Obu Youth Invention Club holds a "TICO's monozukuri(making things) course" during the summer vacation aimed at local elementary school students. The students make handicrafts so that they can experience the enjoyment and sense of accomplishment from making something themselves.
The operation of the Kariya Youth Invention Club is carried out by the Toyota Institute of Physics and Chemistry, and its operational expenses are supported by Toyota Industries and ten other companies of the Toyota Group.

Contributing to the Development and Promotion of Amateur Sports

We support the development and promotion of sports activities through continuous donations to, and sponsorship of, sports promotion organizations and sports events, mostly in the local communities around its plants. In addition, the "Kariya club", a local rugby team consisting mainly of former members of the Toyota Industries Rugby Team, runs a rugby school for local children at the Toyota Industries Rugby Ground every year.

Participating in the Management of the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology

The "Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology" was jointly founded by 13 companies of the Toyota Group. This museum makes use of the former Toyota Automatic Weaving Company Plant building*, which has been designated by Nagoya City as an important building of the city landscape. The purpose of the museum is to raise the understanding of young people about the "spirit of research and creation" and also the importance and wonder of monozukuri (making things). In January 2007, a new exhibit of steam engines was unveiled, as they were driving force behind the modernization of the manufacturing industry. We provide the museum with human resources, funds for covering management costs, and also exhibit items, as well as participating in the management of the museum.

Supporting the Management of the Sculpture d'Esaka (Art Museum in Osaka)

This art museum is one of only a few facilities in Japan that displays a collection of nothing but works of sculpture. We are supporting the management of this museum so that visitors can appreciate the artistic impression that can only be experienced through seeing the actual sculptures in person.
