INITIATIVES

Initiatives to provide people with disabilities opportunities to work on a farm

The Company leased a communal farm associated with S-Pool Plus, Inc. (opened in June 2020 in the Shimozue district of Komaki City, Aichi) based on its desire expressed as, “we would like to provide opportunities that facilitate social inclusion among as many people as possible who
have physical and mental disabilities and who want to work but face challenges in finding jobs.” This inspired us to make the decision to seek involvement with this farm and to consequently embark on initiatives that entail directly hiring people with disabilities.
Those working at the farm selected the name “Daido Metal Joyful Farm” from various entries after DAIDO METAL CO., LTD. asked people to submit potential names.

DAIDO METAL Pro Bono Program

Since FY2019 the Company has been operating the “DAIDO METAL Pro Bono* Program”, which creates opportunities for employees to become aware of societal issues and to leverage the experience they have accumulated in the Company for the good of local communities. By supporting the creation of the basic structures necessary for NPOs through our provision of subsidies to local NPOs and the involvement of employees in volunteer activities, we are contributing to the resolution of societal issues.

Acceptance of corporate interns

Interns gaining work experience

At the request of high schools in Gujo City, Gifu, where the Company’s Gifu Plant is located, we accepted corporate interns under a“dual system”as part of our educational activities. Every Thursday from September to November, two high school students went to the site and were given experience of the actual work carried out, mainly light duties.

Participating in local cleanup activities at the Inuyama Site Office

River cleanup activity

Every year the Company’s Inuyama Site Office participates in river cleanup activities that take place as part of a local event. We have been involved in these river cleanup activities for over five years,
which we tackle as part of our environmental responsibilities due to wastewater also being discharged from the Company’s locations into this river.
