Yaskawa has defined its relationship with society as follows in the “Yaskawa Group Code of Conduct” and is actively promoting social contribution as well as business activities.

Based on this guidance, we will promote our business activities with an awareness of contributing to society, including local communities. Donations are made through a transparent approval process that includes checking for potential anti-social forces.

We have also established the following social contribution policies, and are working to build good relationships and create value through dialogue and collaboration with stakeholders.

Cultivation of people who will play a role in evolution of manufacturing
We will stimulate interest in science and technology and contribute to the cultivation of people who will play a role in future manufacturing.

Coexistence and co-creation with local communities
We will contribute to the development of human resources and regional revitalization by supporting academic and educational activities, and through the promotion of sports, culture and the arts, especially in regions where Yaskawa has plants and business bases.

We have established the Social Contribution and Diversity Promotion Dept. within the General Affairs Div., and are making efforts to contribute to society. We will promote activities that make local residents happy to have Yaskawa in the community and that make employees happy to work for Yaskawa.

Also, we established the “YASKAWA Mirai Club” in 2005 as a mechanism for our employees to participate in social contribution activities. Employees of Yaskawa and Yaskawa Group companies, who voluntarily joined the YASKAWA Mirai Club in support of its objectives, continue to contribute part of their salaries, and use the funds raised to make various social contribution activities and donations.
The status of these activities is reported on a social contribution page on the company intranet.

Centered on the above-mentioned community contribution policy, Yaskawa provides support to various fields and organizations (For example, incorporated associations, foundations, NPOs and NGOs).
