Then Alpine Giken former President Sakai receives an award from Fukushima Governor Sato
Alpine has inked an agreement with Aizu University in Japan and
the Dalian Neusoft Institute of Information in China to develop
a new IT Personnel Development Project. This program will
allow outstanding students from the Dalian Neusoft Institute
to receive training in advanced IT technology and Japanese
language skills at Aizu University, then continue their training
during internships at Alpine. This program meets a growing need
for individuals who can serve as bridges between Japan and
China, at a time when business and social exchanges between
the two countries are fl ourishing. By promoting the training and
employment of outstanding individuals who understand the
cultures and business environments of both China and Japan,
local partnerships between businesses and universities like this
one contribute to the globalization of both countries. They also
contribute to growing our business in China as a key dimension
of our growth strategy.
In fiscal 2010, Alpine subsidiary, Alpine Giken was awarded the
Fukushima Governor’s Prize for its contributions to Fukushima
Protocol efforts to combat global warming. This prize was given in
recognition of efforts that included environmental investments in
energy-saving air conditioning and LED lighting, together with a “Turn
It Off” program to encourage each and every employee to turn off
electrical switches when equipment is not in use. The result was a
reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by more than 10% year-on-
year.
In addition, many of our group employees pitched in as volunteers
in rescue and recovery efforts following the earthquake and tsunami
on March 11. These are only two examples of our company’s
continuing effort to build closer ties with our local communities and
contribute to their revival.
