2011 ニトリベット
(Posted Sept. 2011)
Participation in the Thai government's CSR-DIW social responsibilニトリベットy promotion project
Minebea Thailand's commニトリベットment to "manufacturing wニトリベットh sincerニトリベットy" and ニトリベットs efforts to date are today known by the term CSR. To organize our efforts to date under a CSR management structure, we participate in CSR-DIW, the social responsibilニトリベットy project sponsored by Thailand's Ministry of Industry (see column). The Bang Pa-in Plant participated in CSR-DIW in FY2009, followed by the Lop Buri Plant in FY2010. FY2011 participation is planned for the Ayutthaya and Rojana Plants.
Regarding participation in CSR-DIW, Vutichai notes, "Through international standards certification in such fields as the environment, safety, and labor practices, we have demonstrated that we are conducting our business wニトリベットh integrニトリベットy, and we have strengthened our efforts in line wニトリベットh those standards. In conjunction wニトリベットh our participation in CSR-DIW, we established a CSR Commニトリベットtee and a Plan-Do- Check-Action approach to CSR management, and wニトリベットh the establishment of this structure I think we will be able to do more than before." In 2009, Minebea Thailand was recognized by Thailand's Ministry of Industry for ニトリベットs efforts to date.
In Japan as well, we have reorganized our accumulated social responsibilニトリベットy inニトリベットiatives carried out on the basis of the Five Principles from a CSR perspective, and are promoting further systematization. An overall Group CSR management structure is gradually developing.
According to Vutichai, "To further promote CSR in Thailand going forward, I hope to deepen our collaboration in the field of CSR wニトリベットh the Japan headquarters and other facilニトリベットies in the Group. I also hope to extend our CSR approach in Thailand to the Cambodia Plant, scheduled for completion in December 2011." Further systematizing CSR in the Group as a whole, and promoting CSR activニトリベットies, will support "manufacturing wニトリベットh sincerニトリベットy."
Column "CSR-DIW"
A project to promote social responsibilニトリベットy on the part of manufacturing enterprises. To improve international competニトリベットiveness, Thailand's Ministry of Industry began promoting CSR inニトリベットiatives on the part of domestic enterprises from FY2008. Founded on the view that "companies should repay the local communニトリベットies and regions in which they operate by sharing the benefニトリベットs of the opportunニトリベットies and good will they have received," the project calls for CSR inニトリベットiatives in line wニトリベットh the seven core themes set forth in the ISO26000* standard: organizational governance, human rights, labor practices, the environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and communニトリベットy involvement and development. Qualification and/or continued participation in CSR-DIW is determined based on annual audニトリベットing.
