The Product Safety Community is a forum for discussing advanced product safety initiatives and cultivating a culture of product safety through collaboration among Product Safety Awards-winning companies, and with experts, such as judging committee members, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE). The goal is to deepen public understanding of product safety as well as to create and expand a product safety market in which consumers preferentially select products and services that consider product safety. The Company plays a central role as a core company in the Product Safety Community, actively participating in studies for new national product safety systems and distributing information to consumers.
In fiscal 2023, we lectured at a product safety lecture event for senior citizens “Useful Facts About Product Safety” that was held jointly by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and a local government (Atsugi City). We also cooperated in creating product safety inspection videos on the website of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
The Company has also concluded a Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement with the government of Osaka Prefecture, and conducts visiting after-school children’s classes on the subject of product safety at elementary schools administered by the Osaka government. In fiscal 2023, we conducted a class titled, “Home Appliance Safety—Becoming a Home Product Safety Leader.” During the visiting class, we conducted quizzes and showed videos to the children while teaching them about important points for preventing product accidents at home and in school lives, as well as information about systems for ensuring product safety and product safety marks.
