Our business activities impact the local communities where we are active in various ways. It is extremely important to communicate with local communities to ensure that their expectations are met in order to ensure sustainable business activities. In addition, we recognize that we have shared interests with the community as a stakeholder in the region, and for this reason we would like to work towards community development.
This stance is declared in the Stakeholder Policy, and the actions that should be taken by employees are stipulated in the Yokohama Rubber Group Action Guidelines.

We recognize that aiming for harmony with local communities where we conduct business is of the utmost importance, in order to achieve both social trust and business management, and to provide sustainable value as a global company.
In fiscal year 2025, we will continue to hold the “Biodiversity Panel Discussion,” fostering communication with local stakeholders, including global participants, various NPOs, and schools. This ongoing effort aims to enhance understanding of our business activities and biodiversity conservation initiatives.
In addition, as part of our support for disaster affected areas, we made donations to the affected areas in Japan and provided relief supplies such as water and food to local residents overseas.
The employee-driven social contribution fund “YOKOHAMA Magokoro Fund,” established in 2016, supported 12 organizations active in fields such as environmental protection and social welfare in fiscal year 2025.
It also contributed to four disaster relief funds and disaster aid efforts.
Furthermore, by actively participating in volunteer activities such as disaster relief and environmental conservation, employees aim to deepen their understanding of local and societal challenges. We are committed to working alongside community members to develop solutions and contribute to a better future.
We will continue striving to become a company and office that realizes our sustainability slogan, “Caring for the Future.”
