Donation for Tsunami Relief in Thailand
Hoya has made modest financial contributions to help the victims
and the families of those who lost their lives in the Great Hanshin-
Awaji Earthquake of 1995 and the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the
United States in 2001. As part of its policy of providing assistance
to victims of disasters, Hoya donated ¥30 million in relief funds to
the Royal Thai Government following the earthquake off Sumatra
that led to the Indian
Ocean tsunami of
December 2004. Hoya
received a letter of
appreciation from the
Royal Thai Government
the following January.
Support for the Visually Impaired
Since Hoya supplies eyeglasses, contact lenses and other eye-
related products to the world, it has actively engaged in several
programs to facilitate the participation of visually challenged
people in society. Donation boxes have been placed in various
locations throughout Hoya’s offices, to allow employees to easily
make their own individual contributions to this effort.
The Company added to the contribution of employees as a
matching gift and donated more than the equivalent value.
Assistance for Culture and the Arts
As one element of Hoya’s contribution to culture and the arts,
Hoya has since 2004 been a Supporting Member of the New
National Theatre, Tokyo. Hoya also regularly gives its support to
charity concerts and other events held to offer assistance to
needy children.
Management Principles
Corporate Mission
The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become common parlance. In many ways, companies should not only pursue
their own profitability, but they also have a responsibility to consider the contributions they can make to the community and the
environment, and to act appropriately as a good corporate citizen. Hoya has established a set of basic principles that all employees must
follow. These principles are based on the Hoya Corporate Mission, and they govern decision-making and conduct for all business activities.
By putting these principles into practice, Hoya aims both to achieve growth for the Hoya Group and to contribute positively to the
prosperity and betterment of the society, economy and culture.
Dedicated to innovation in information technology,
lifestyles and culture,
Hoya envisions a world where all can enjoy the good
life, living in harmony with nature.
