Participation in Community Beautification and Cleaning Activities

Each year, Funai Electric participates in community beautification and cleaning activities sponsored by the city of Daito. From April through June, when these activities are in progress, we work aggressively to make our community clean and attractive by picking up cans, cigarette butts and other litter.

In fiscal 2014, 66 employees participated in efforts to clean up the area around our headquarters.

Eco-Cap Activities

We participate in an NPO's efforts to collect and recycle the caps from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. The proceeds from this activity are used to buy vaccines for children in developing countries.

We began participating in the activity in October 2010. During fiscal 2014 we collected and sent to the NPO 48,160 caps, . As result, 112 kg of material was recycled. The proceeds were sufficient to buy vaccines for 56 children.

Separating Empty Aluminum Beverage Containers toward the Gift of Wheelchairs

We separate and collect the empty aluminum cans that contain drinks sold at vending machines around our office facilities. Once a certain amount has been collected, we send the materials to the company that operates the vending machines, generating proceeds that go toward a wheelchair donation.

　　As we wanted the wheelchairs that were purchased to go to public use, we have designated Daito Syakai Fukushi Kyogikai (Daito Social Welfare Council) as the recipient.The proceeds were used to purchase three wheelchairs by fiscal 2014.

　　Daito Syakai Fukushi Kyogikai lends out these wheelchairs for free to people who need them.
