In the Kyocera Labor Union, employees proactively promote service toward society, with which they “live together” harmoniously as members.
Nazare-en is a home for Japanese women who married young Koreans before and after World War II, and in the confusion after the war lost husbands or family through death or distance. In addition to traveling to visit them each year, each union branch provides financial support through volunteer charity drives.
In the Philippines, outdoor wells about 4-7 meters deep are used, and many communities exist where waterborne diseases and parasites are prevalent. In order to provide safe water from deeper wells to the children and communities, Kyocera labor union has continually made donations, which resulted in the digging of 54 deep wells.
Kyocera labor union acts as foster parents for children who live in developing countries. Interacting through letters, photos and pictures, they support these children and also financially support activities that encourage self-sufficiency in the communities where these children live. Each of 14 union branches supports foster parents program.
During the summer festivals held at each Kyocera factory and office in Japan, employees hold a charity bazaar. The bazaars sell unused items from employee households, and the proceeds are donated to community welfare groups.
