Becoming an Attractive Partner to the Community
Another important part of myonic's new vision is the sustainable development of the local community. As a responsible company, myonic seeks to build excellent relations with people in its community through a wide range of cultural, environmental, and social activities.
As part of these activities, myonic supports cultural events organized by the town of Leutkirch as a way to deepen relations with residents and contribute to the community's development. The company is a sponsor of the monthly "Talk im Bock" event held in the city center in which well-known figures give talks to the community. myonic also provides financial donations to the city's summer festival, while company employees take part in municipal sports events, sharing valuable time with local residents.
myonic also believes that lowering the environmental burden is critical to building a bright future for the community. At the new plant completed in 2012, the company has set its energy consumption reduction target 30% higher than the national target. Some of the plant's energy-efficiency measures include using groundwater for air conditioning systems, adopting natural gas power, and switching to highly efficient lighting. The company exhibits in its own booth at the city's environmental information center as part of awareness activities supporting Leutkirch's bid to become an environmental town.
myonic also conducts social exchange events for local children. In the TECHNOlino project, company employees provide students at the local Leutkirch Johanneskindergarten with fun science lessons. Students are regularly invited to the company to enjoy easy product-making lessons, such as making toy windmills using myonic products, which stimulates their interest in science.
For myonic, CSR is not an ancillary activity to business, but rather an integral management issue in becoming an exceptional company. With an eye towards the future, myonic will continue to conduct CSR activities sincerely in order to achieve its vision and grow hand-in-hand with its many stakeholders as an essential part of their society.

TECHNOlino project
"This is a great project for building ties between the kindergarten and the company."
We started the "TECHNOlino" program in 2009 in collaboration with myonic and members of its labor union. Kids learn very quickly during their kindergarten years, and it's very meaningful to have this opportunity to take part in a high-level study program and build interest in science.
In addition to the workshops for children, we also receive support from myonic to hold large exchange events for parents once a year. These opportunities to interact with myonic employees give the children a chance to develop sociability. We've gotten great feedback from parents on these events, and our teachers have also learned a lot. All in all, it's a wonderfully successful project.
