Fiscal 2023 Results (Data edition)

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 2025 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.
Consolidated social contribution expenditures in fiscal 2023 were 2.08 billion yen, while such expenditures were approximately 1.16 billion yen at Toray Industries alone. This figure is 124% of average expenditures over the last six years (fiscal 2017-2022, 1.68 billion yen), surpassing the target of 100% or higher set in the CSR Roadmap 2025.

In fiscal 2023, the main beneficiaries were Toray Science Foundation, Toray science foundations in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Republic of Korea, sponsorship of the Shanghai International Marathon, and donations and supplies for the repair of damage caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake.
In fiscal 2023, Toray Industries Inc., on behalf of Toray Group, donated approximately 220million yen to Toray Science Foundation. Toray Group companies outside Japan donated approximately 280 million yen to Toray science foundations around the world.

In its CSR Roadmap 2025, 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 2023 was 2,173 (221 more than the previous year), short of the Group target of 2,500 or more.
With the reclassification of the COVID virus as a category 5 infectious disease, progress has been made in returning to normal levels of social contribution activities. This has meant a reinvigoration of such activities, with the number of social contribution activities steadily increasing each year.
The beneficiaries of educational support activities numbered 18,816 (3,086 more than the previous year), higher than the Group target of 15,000 or more.
This was due to an increase in requests from elementary, junior high, and high schools in Japan for Toray science classes and educational materials, as well as increase in Toray Group cooperation on educational events such as plant tours and vocational lectures in and outside of Japan.
