Society

With local communities

The JATCO Group's aim is to become a “good corporate citizen” that is loved by local communities. Corporate activities are conducted through our involvement with local communities. JATCO considers it an important responsibility to be proactively involved with society as a community member and contribute to the local community in a variety of ways.
Participating actively in resolving local issues leveraging the JATCO Group's technologies and assets creates a situation where our presence is appreciated by the community, which is beneficial to the company. This leads to mutual growth and development of the community and company. For instance, by using our automotive unit technologies to develop a drive unit for e-bikes, we can help address community challenges, such as promoting local tourism and health enhancement.
We are maintaining the flower beds at the Gakunan Electric Train's JATCO MAE Station to enrich the lives of everyone in the region. While responding to increasingly complex societal issues, the JATCO Group continually contributes to regional revitalization and the resolution of societal and environmental issues through dialogue with local communities.

Yagi Area: Yoshitomi Station “makeover” by the employees

Yoshitomi Station in Yagicho, Nantan City, Kyoto is used by most of the employees of the Yagi Plant, so we continually clean it to be of as much help as we can. In November 2023, a total of 90 people including our employees and Nantan City officials cooperated on a “makeover” of Yoshitomi Station, improving it so much that it was nearly unrecognizable.
We will continue to take part in various activities to ensure that we take good care of the station that always serves us.
