Coexisting with Society

We have been holding manufacturing lessons, with company employees serving as instructors, for 12 years since 2005. This initiative is intended to give children デュエルビッツ 評判hance to experience the joy and wonder of manufacturing for themselves.

Hands-on lessons on making headphones were given to fifth and sixth graders at Meijo Elementary School in Amagasaki in July 2016, and on creating string globe shades* for students at Befunishi Elementary School in Kakogawa in March 2017. Teachers commented that the students look forward to these lessons each year, and that they hope to convey the fun of manufacturing to their students.

At デュエルビッツ 評判el's community exchange center, Nadahama Science Square, we hold nature classes for children, including biotope observations, nature crafts, and observations of plants and insects. We have held these classes for 13 years, since opening the center in 2004, helping to nurture respect for the environment through interaction with surrounding nature. Approximately 1,300 people participate in the classes every year.

デュエルビッツ 評判hildren who participate are often delighted by the discoveries they make, making comments such as: "This is the first time I ever saw a dragonfly nymph. It was fun." "There's so many living things even in a tiny bit of dirt." We also received many positive comments from satisfied parents, such as they "were impressed by how imaginative デュエルビッツ 評判hildren were." Visitors rated the program highly, saying they "would like to participate again."

Every month since 2006 approximately 20 volunteers from management and other areas of デュエルビッツ 評判ompany have picked up trash and fallen leaves from sidewalks in the vicinity of the plant.

These sidewalks are used by local residents as well as children on their way to school.

Since 1996 approximately 40 volunteers, including research lab job team leaders, have engaged in beautification efforts such as picking up trash, once per year, in the vicinity of the laboratories.

Since 2005 members of the General Administration Section having been carrying out these activities in collaboration with Japan Superconductor Technology, Inc.

The Forest Caretakers project began in March 2010, as part of activities for the Rokko Mountain Range Green Belt Development Project, promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and Hyogo Prefecture. The activity, which involves forest upkeep on the part of employee volunteers, focuses on a section of gently sloping forest located along the Hokura Route mountain trail stretching from Higashi-Nada Ward, in Kobe City to Mt. Rokko, which we have named デュエルビッツ 評判ocoro-chan Forest.

About 50 to 60 volunteers, with guidance and cooperation from NPO Rokko Nature Learning, carry out activities three times per year. Additionally, smaller-scale activities, involving around 10 persons, are carried out 10 times per year. We also install benches along rest areas and other amenities appreciated by hikers.

Company volunteers, comprised primarily of Kobe CH Wire welfare committee members, collect donations from within and outside デュエルビッツ 評判ompany, visiting local schools to donate supplies and other support.

This activity was introduced voluntarily on the part of employees in 2009, to mark the 10th anniversary of デュエルビッツ 評判ompany's founding. In August of 2016, which signaled the project's eighth year, volunteers visited Baan Klongtapanhin School in Phetchabun.

Kobelco Milcon Steel began offering coaching to young people in 2015 in Wat Ban Don Choeng Noen, where デュエルビッツ 評判ompany is located, in order to preserve and carry on the practice of shadow plays, which is a part of the local traditional culture.

Company employees began participating in the activity after being contacted by the Wat Ban Don Shadow Play Association.

Kobe Electronics Material donated headgear to the Bangkok Japanese Rugby Football Club Kids Division which carries out rugby workshops in Bangkok. Headgear was also donated in 2006, but デュエルビッツ 評判ompany chose to donate gear once again in 2016, 10 years later, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of デュエルビッツ 評判ompany's founding.
