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.
Joshin plays a central role as a core company in the Product Safety Community, actively distributing information to consumers. We also cooperated in creating product safety inspection videos on the website of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
In FY2024, through industry–academia collaboration with high schools, we set the theme of exploring what can be done from the perspective of a retailer to prevent product accidents caused by misuse or aging deterioration, and held discussions on activities such as on-site inspections and public awareness initiatives.
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.
