Food aid to developing countries - Table For Two
As a sign of our dedication to our fellow man and as a means of promoting employee health, we have introduced healthy menu choices in our worksite cafeterias. Beginning in fiscal 2008, we initiated our “Table For Two” campaign, which donates to school lunch programs in developing countries.
Table For Two is a movement to eliminate hunger in developing countries as well as obesity and lifestyle-related diseases in developed countries. Workplace cafeterias and restaurants in participating companies donates ¥20 to the Table For Two program from each sale of a healthy menu item approved under the Table For Two program. This donation is sufficient to provide one school lunch to a child in a developing country.
The Table For Two program was named after an image of a child from a developing country dining at a table with a participant from a developed country beyond time and space.
As of November 2010, Digital had provided about 18,000 servings of healthy menu items and donated about 26,000 school lunches to children in developing countries.
Pro-face's Table For Two initiatives were profiled on NHK's News Terrace Kansai (November 12, 2008) and E-TV Mezase! Kaisha no Hoshi (July 16, 2011) programs.
Factory neighborhood clean-up activities
Pro-face's Izumi Development Office cleans up the neighborhood around the factory every weekend between April and October to improve the local environment and raise employees' awareness of environmental issues.
