As a good corporate citizen, Toray Group is helping to promote the sustainable development of local and international communities based on its corporate philosophy. The Group also supports the social contribution activities of its employees under the Toray Group Social Initiative Policies.
The CSR Roadmap 2022 sets KPIs for social contribution expenditures, such as donations and personnel expenses associated with social contribution activities, and Toray Group maintains initiatives at the designated scale.
Social contribution expenditures in fiscal 2021 were 1.43 billion yen (approximately 900 million yen at Toray Industries alone), which is 86% of average expenditures over the last six years (fiscal 2015-2020, 1.66 billion yen), in contrast to the target of 100% or higher set in the CSR Roadmap 2022. This difference was due to the cancellation of the Shanghai Marathon as a COVID-19 pandemic measure and other factors.
In fiscal 2021, the main beneficiaries were Toray Science Foundation, Toray science foundations in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Republic of Korea, and sponsorship of the Tokyo Marathon.
In fiscal 2021, Toray Industries Inc., on behalf of Toray Group, donated approximately 220million yen to Toray Science Foundation. Toray Group companies outside Japan donated approximately 250 million yen to Toray science foundations around the world.
In its CSR Roadmap 2022, Toray Group sets KPIs for the number of social contribution activities to be implemented in order to ensure that the Group continues to actively contribute to society. In addition, the roadmap sets KPIs for the number of beneficiaries of educational support activities, such as science classes for schools and career education, with the aim of developing a solid educational support program, which has been a long-term Toray Group focus.
The number of social contribution activities implemented in fiscal 2021 was 1,710, short of the target of 2,500 or more.
This shortfall was due in large part to the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic led to the voluntary cancellation of activities, such as cleanup campaigns and other events in which employees would participate in-person, when it was thought to be difficult to ensure health and safety.
The number of beneficiaries of educational support activities increased compared to 2020 due to the implementation of online classes and company interviews during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the beneficiaries of these activities in fiscal 2021 still numbered only 11,331, falling short of the Group target of 15,000 or more. This was due to the limited number of school visits by instructors and group-based educational events.
