stationery and learning materials. We also support teaching by donating
items according to the needs of individual schools, including Casio digital
pianos, calculators, printers, short-throw projectors and digital cameras.

Casio America has been conducting various environmental conservation activities for many
years. Activities include collecting and sorting bottles and cans for recycling, collecting
paper and cardboard for delivery to recycling centers, using recycled materials for watch
packaging and display materials, replacing personal computers that used a large amount of
electricity, and providing drinking bottles to employees to reduce the use of paper cups.
On August 7, 2014, Yamagata Casio received an Excellent Work Site Commendation from
Yamagata Prefecture for energy conservation activities as part of the Winter Eco Style
Challenge. Yamagata Prefecture has been holding the Winter Eco Style Challenge annually
since 2008 to increase awareness of energy conservation among households and
businesses in the prefecture.
In the most recent Winter Eco Style Challenge, 862 work sites submitted applications from
November 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 detailing their conservation activities. Five sites
recognized as outstanding received commendations.
Yamagata Casio was selected for the Excellent Work
Site Commendation for activities that included
reducing the amount of air used to drive machine
tools and automatic machinery and remove dust
from components, and for constructing a power
monitoring system. Yamagata Casio will continue to
proactively reduce energy use.
Casio Singapore initiated two social contribution programs in January 2015 that
involve scientific calculators to support mathematics education in Singapore.
The first is the Casio Cares Initiative. Students from low-income families
(combined household income of less than SGD$2,500) can have access to
the Casio FX-9860GIIs graphing calculator until they graduate. Returned
calculators are then re-loaned to other students in the following year. Casio
Singapore also plans to donate calculators to underprivileged students in
neighboring countries in Southeast Asia.
The other initiative is the Buy-Back Programme. Students who purchase
the Casio FX-9860GIIs graphing calculator can receive SGD$60.00 cash
back when they return their calculator to Casio Singapore upon graduation.
