Contributing towards
Realization of SDGs
Based on our management philosophy of “Conducting manufacturing as a means of providing service”, we at the KYODEN Group are constantly challenging ourselves to meet the needs of society and our goal of a safe and comfortable future through wisdom, ingenuity, and a positive approach to everything we do.
On November 11, 2022, we declared that we will take the lead in contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in our business, environment, and daily life through our own business activities.
We will continue to view the importance of sustainable development of society as our own business and actively work to solve various issues for the benefit of all people.

Gender Equality
Initiatives to improve the
work environment for
women and realize a gender-free societyKYODEN Group is committed to creating an environment that empowers women by helping them fulfill their potential (positive action) and balance work with child raising.
Male to Female Ratio
Manufacturing lines still mostly comprise men, however, the number of long-term female employees who have returned to work after taking childcare leave is increasing. Moreover, it is interesting to note that the ratio of female employees is higher in our Thailand factory.
In an effort to encourage more women to take management positions, we are working to reduce the average overtime of managers from the current 40 hours/month to less than 30 hours/month on average.
Encouragement of male employees to utilize childcare leave
Cooperation between partners is essential when raising children.
Through actively encouraging male employees to utilize childcare leave, we are striving to resolve unnecessary divisions of roles arising from gender differences and to improve the environment for women. -
Good Health and Well-Being

workplaces that offer decent work and create new value
Renewal and opening of the employees’ restaurant at our Nagano Factory
Our Nagano Factory renewed its employees’ restaurant in September 2021 for the objectives of boosting the health management and motivation of employees and stimulating communication.
By providing nutritionally balanced meals at low prices and creating an open environment, we are striving to increase the restaurant utilization rate and help employees stay healthy.
Moreover, we have revamped the layout to allow various uses such as meetings, intensive work, rest and so on during periods outside of mealtimes. By preparing an environment that is conducive to the vitalization of communication, we aim to boost productivity. -

Green Procurement
When procuring the materials that constitute products and the chemicals that are used in manufacturing processes, we grasp the constituents and compositions with a view to promoting “green procurement” and thereby realizing manufacturing with small environmental load. Moreover, we effectively utilize such information in striving to “convey accurate information to customers” and “conform to environmental regulations such as RoHS and REACH”.
We ask for your cooperation in our green procurement activities, including environmental surveys and system strengthening. -
