Community Involvement and Development

In October 2016, Tuff Torq Corporation (TTC), in collaboration with its neighboring company, JTEKT, held an event to support the collection and separation of waste from the households of local residents. Used batteries, oil, paint, antifreeze and electrical components from households contain harmful substances that require proper treatment for disposal. For this event approximately 4.3 tons of such waste was gathered to be disassembled, stored, and disposed of at the treatment plant.

TTC will continue to support such events in the future, and is working together with local residents to find and properly dispose of dangerous items near their houses.

In September 2016, Yanmar Capital Thailand participated in a reforestation project at the Salakpra Wildlife Sanctuary in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand's first nature reserve. The project has worked to plant 300 trees to help wild elephants, which are highly respected in Thailand, live safely in the future.

This activity helps to restore the forest as well as to create good relationships among employees and with the local community.

Yanmar Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing Indonesia (YAMINDO) engages in community service activities for local community development, primarily focusing on religion, society and education. The budget to be distributed increases year by year, reaching Rp 12 million in 2016.

For education, for example, YAMINDO experts provide a Prakerin program (industrial training) to students undergoing vocational training. The students are given opportunities to use what they have learned in work and production classes in actual operations.

In July 2016, Yanmar Asia (Singapore) held a coastal cleaning event on the East Coast, with 42 employees, friends and family members participating. The event beautified the area and was also an excellent opportunity for the participating children to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of CSR and the environment. This event will continue in the future.
