Social Contribution Promotion Activities:Promotion Structure
At Sanken Electric, the "Social Contribution Promotion Team" has been established as a task team of the Sustainability Committee, chaired by Director Katsumi Kawashima. The Sanken Group as a whole promotes social contributions based on four pillars: "community development and disaster relief," "support for people with disabilities," "fostering the next generation," and "volunteering."

The Sanken Group's Four Pillars of CSR Activities
Community Development and Disaster Relief
Through the use of "PETBOTAL," (“PET bottle” in Japanese) which is made from recycled PET bottle materials, we communicate with local governments nationwide, contributing to community development and revitalization.
Support for People with Disabilities
We strive to promote mutual understanding through support for work experience in collaboration with local facilities for people with disabilities and through disability experiences using wheelchairs and white canes.
Fostering the Next Generation
In response to growing environmental awareness, we provide "environmental classes" and learning opportunities about "power semiconductors" at local elementary, middle, high schools, and universities.
