Cultivating Next Generation

Employee-led activities are planned and conducted at each of our various business sites in order to provide the children who represent the future of society with Polyplastics-style learning opportunities.

Kuantan

Providing Safety Education at an Orphanage utilizing our knowledge and experiences

Our Kuantan plant has designated every December as CSR month and uses this time to engage in social contribution activities. In FY2019, after learning that a newly established orphanage needed support, employees decided to provide them with safety education, a topic for which Polyplastics is perfectly equipped to speak about. This is because the essential safety knowledge that we use in our plants is also useful in daily life. On the day of the class, 17 employees visited the orphanage and spoke to the children and staff about a variety of topics, including pointing and calling (the safety verification method of pointing at and identifying danger spots), common household injuries and how to provide first-aid for them, and how to use a fire extinguisher. This activity was carried out in conjunction with the Malaysian Society for Occupational Safety & Health NGO, and it proved to be a fun and effective safety education opportunity for both children and staff. Following the safety education session, the orphanage was provided with a first-aid kit set along with book bags and writing materials for school. In addition, during the visit it became apparent that the orphanage needed shoe boxes, so the employees took unused materials at the plant and created shoe boxes that they presented to the orphanage at a later date.

Comments from the Organizer

We had a wonderful time taking part in a variety of programs with the children and staff of the orphanage. It is important, even in the normal busyness of work and family life, to take opportunities like this to serve the local community. The children were so excited about our visit. It was wonderful to be able to do activities together and to talk with the children, to give them the reassurance that they are not alone. I feel it is essential that we, as a company, continue to undertake social contribution activities such as this. I want to express my gratitude to the management and my colleagues for their help in realizing this event.

Nantong

Helping Children Who Require Educational Support

The Nantong plant continued its practice of providing educational support to local elementary schools in need by making a donation of 18,000 Chinese yuan (sufficient for supporting the educational needs of approximately 60 children). Student and teacher representatives from the recipient elementary school visited our Nantong plant to express their gratitude, after which they had a tour of the plant and opportunities for further discussion with employees.

Comments from the Organizer

Including FY2019, the Nantong plant (PTM) has been providing this financial support to schools for 13 years. We were pleasantly surprised to receive a letter of thanks from a woman who was among the students that we supported during this initiative’s first year. I was so thrilled and proud to hear about how well she is now doing as a university student. We will continue providing this sort of support for motivated students.

Tokyo Head Office

Company Visit Event for First Year Fuji High School Students

The Polyplastics Head Office in Tokyo welcomed 19 first year students from Shizuoka Prefectural Fuji Senior High School on a company tour. The motivation for the event was to convey the appeal and excitement of working for a global manufacturing company, and the program for the day included letting employees introduce their jobs, giving the students an office tour, demonstrating a video conferencing session with an overseas plant and much more. Although the students were all rather nervous, they did not shy away from asking employees questions and attempting to communicate in English. We will continue to provide this sort of characteristically Polyplastics opportunity for cultivating the next generation.
