AGC Electronics Company

AGC Electronics Company had long been conducting its unique social contribution activities at each of its production bases. In March 2010, the AGC Electronics Company also formulated its own basic policy on social contribution activities in line with the announcement of Social Contribution Basic Policy made by the AGC Group held in February of the same year. The original policy was formulated with a view to conducting activities, including volunteer activities, based on unique ideas that even local people could not hit upon, not for show but for the greater good for 10, 20, and more years.
To this end, we visited all our bases, starting with those in Taiwan and South Korea, to explain the In-house Company's basic policy and repeat discussions on activity implementation in line with the policy. As a result, activity plans that reflected each base's independence and uniqueness were planned. The bases actually began implementing the plans thus formulated in the latter half of 2010. These include plans to make visits and donations to welfare facilities for children located in Yunlin, Taiwan; to provide elderly living alone in Gumi City in South Korea with Kimchi (Korean pickles) for the winter; and to donate books to a local library in Ochang in South Korea. Local inhabitants of the areas expressed their thanks for these activities.
We have decided to call each fiscal year a "term" as testimony to the durability of our social contribution activities. We hope these activities will continue over 10, 20, and more terms.

AGC Display Glass Taiwan

AGC Display Glass Taiwan (ADT), which manufactures and sells glass substrates for flat panel displays, has its base in Yunlin in the central south of Taiwan; we therefore wanted to make some kind of contribution to this area. First of all, we decided to stimulate this area through art and culture and began providing support to a local choir in Yunlin in 2006, including financial support for its regular concerts and dispatches of employees to its charity concerts. Through this activity we have contributed to the promotion of local artistic and cultural activities. In 2010, which fell on the 10th anniversary of the foundation of our company, we decided to continuously provide financial support to a local family support center in Yunlin and to conduct volunteer activities in response to the basic policy on social contribution activities AGC Electronics Company announced the same year. We expressed our attitude by supporting disadvantaged children in the area.
Supported by ADT, the center established a library/audio-visual room named "Asahi Glass Classroom" within its facilities to provide children at the center with a space to read books. On the day the ceremony to donate money to the center was held, children of the center enthusiastically welcomed us, which was really moving and we felt really happy to be able to make a small contribution to the local community. We would like to provide long-term support to these children through such measures as proving PC-based training with employees of ADT serving as volunteer teachers.
