through works of art. The Tokyo Video Festival provides an
opportunity for people who have never picked up a video camera
before to experience the fun of filming and the joy of being shot.
Through the festival, JVC aims to promote video software pro-
duction as one way to enjoy video technology and introduce new
film creations to the world.
Contributing to Society
JVC is committed to being a good corporate citizen. We want to
be a company that makes people’s lives better and inspires the
confidence of the international community. Here, we have pro-
vided an overview of just a few of the things that we are doing to
make a difference.
In Thailand, JVC helps to raise funds for sight-impaired indi-
viduals by taking part in ongoing fund-raising activities at local
schools implemented by around 800 individuals and sponsored
by the Thailand Association of the Blind. Specifically, we place
donation boxes at the entrances of our offices and in Company
cafeterias where employees interested in the cause can make
contributions.
In China’s Beijing, JVC raised funds to support efforts to
rebuild earthquake and tsunami stricken areas. The Company
donated the money it collected to victims through the Beijing
Red Cross. In addition, we have been lending a hand to the
less fortunate in this region through our “Yang Guang charity”,
donations of medicine and daily necessities to orphanages,
and group medical examinations for children since 2003.
In Mexico, employees and their families answered JVC’s call
to clean up the shore as part of efforts to protect the natural
environment, collecting around a ton of garbage. In Japan as
well, employees at each office take part in cleanup activities in
the vicinity of their respective workplace once every two months.
Every spring, the American Cancer Society holds its Relay for
Life fund-raising campaign, using the money collected for
research. For about 15 years, in Alabama, JVC has taken part in
this campaign together, earning a reputation as an outstanding
support group. In addition, employees engage in diverse volun-
teer activities throughout the year.
JVC will continue to lend its support to activities that make a
difference.
