Yasuhiro Kurokawa

Yokohama Tire Vietnam (YTVI) is an integrated manufacturing and sales company with a production base in an industrial park in Binh Doung Province, north of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and sales offices in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
The plant produces MC, LTB, ID, PCB and bias tires, which are not available at other plants of the Yokohama Group. In terms of sales, in response to the rapid increase in passenger and commercial vehicles, we are aiming to improve our market position in Vietnam by expanding sales of PCR / SUV (import) in addition to MC and LTB, which we have been selling for a long time.
Furthermore, we are working to increase YOKOHAMA's recognition and position in Vietnam by launching our first new product in 10 years to expand sales of motorcycle tires, for which demand is expected to remain large and stable for the time being.

As Company Policy

☆ Safety comes first
☆ MARKET & CUSTOMER FIRST
We would like to produce and supply products that customers can use with peace of mind in a safe and secure workplace, and also actively engage in social contribution activities in Vietnam.

Based on the company’s policies and standards, employee education regarding legal compliance is regularly conducted, and we continue to work to improve employee awareness of such compliance issues.
We are continuing to revise the arrangements for approval authority and approval routes to make them easier to operate in line with actual operations.
We are reviewing our meeting structure so that it is possible to share information and make decisions based on rank, while remaining aware of efficient, local member-driven operations.

In 2022, for both International Women's Day in March and Vietnam Women's Day in October, the company provided souvenirs and the labor union planned dinner parties.

Education and training for employees

We have designated the first day of each month as "Green Day" to raise environmental awareness through education on cleaning up inside the factory buildings and outdoor grounds and separating waste.
In 2022, we conducted quality fraud prevention education by the Quality Assurance Department in October and compliance education by the Human Resources Department in September for all employees.
In addition, as a part of the education on the prevention of occupational accidents, we have set up a sensory training center, where employees can experience actual hazards through simulation education, thereby raising their awareness of safety.

Responses in case of disaster

We invite firefighters from VSIP, an industrial park where our production sites are located, to conduct planned fire and disaster response training, and each employee is required to participate at least once/year.
Since fiscal 2020, all employees have also been trained to demonstrate the use of fire extinguishers.
Night evacuation drills have also been conducted since 2022.

Gender equality

We are promoting women’s management positions (at the rank of General Manager, etc.). Of the ten such positions within the company, three are occupied by women.

Monthly local follow-ups on environmental/energy saving activities and regular audits of industrial waste processing companies are conducted. Green Day events are conducted on the first day of every month with the aim of improving environmental awareness through clean-up activities at plants and education regarding waste-collection and separation practices.
In June 2022, 19 employees participated in the biodiversity conservation activities at Lò Gò Xa Mát National Park in Tay Ninh Province.
In addition, we are actively rolling out to reduce energy used, industrial waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
We will continue these activities as part of the Green Wave activities.
