Basic Approach
So that as many people as possible may become aware of the Minebea Group's initiatives to preserve the environment, we publicize those initiatives and their results on the Internet and through a variety of means including CSR reports, company brochures, and annual reports.
We also actively take part in regional activities and create opportunities to introduce the Minebea Group's environmental initiatives to the public.
Waste Separation Class Provided to Local Children (Thailand)
Members of the Environment Committee and CSR Committee at the Bang Pa-in Plant provided a class on waste separation to local children from the Watpayom School in Ayutthaya Province.
The aim of the class was to raise awareness of waste separation among local children and to promote recycling and reuse. The class was attended by 137 elementary and middle school students. On this occasion, the school was also given a donation of 12 waste receptacles and environment- and energy-related books.

Environment One-click Fund-raising (Fujisawa Plant)
Minebea donation website for Fujisawa City Environment One-click Fund-raising:
The Minebea Group's Fujisawa Plant, located in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, collaborates with local government, enterprises, and residents to carry out Fujisawa City Environment One-click Fund-raising, an initiative created in response to current environmental problems, exemplified by global warming.
The goal of this initiative is to raise local residents' environmental awareness, publicize the social contributions of participating enterprises, and enhance environmental education for children—who will become the next generation of adults. The Minebea Group has participated in this initiative since July 2009. Fund-raising takes place simply by clicking the "Donation" icon on the participating enterprise's environmental activity-related web page. For each click received, the participating enterprise contributes five yen on behalf of that person. The funds collected go to provide Fujisawa City schools with teaching materials relating to the environment.
During FY2012, a total of 100,000 yen* for 25,390 clicks was contributed on behalf of visitors clicking the fund-raising icon on the Fujisawa Plant's environment-related web page.
*1: The maximum corporate donation for the Fujisawa City Environment One-click Fund-raising project is \10,000 monthly and ¥100,000 annually.
