Contributing to local community
NORITAKE GARDEN
Part of the Noritake headquarters site is open to the public as “Noritake Garden.” The garden complex was opened as part of the 100th anniversary since the company’s foundation based on feelings of gratitude for local people and the desire to protect the environment, and features more than 6,000 trees planted over approximately 34,000 m2. Today it has become a popular place for urban relaxation and has established itself as a representative industrial tourism facility in Nagoya.
Also, we have signed an agreement with Nagoya City to act as a temporary evacuation site for people who have difficulty returning home in the event of a large-scale disaster. In this way the facility provides peace of mind to local residents.
Support for international students
To support students from overseas, we participate in the “International Student Acceptance Program for Employees Dormitories” organized by the Foundation of Corporate Friendship Network for Foreign Students. Since 1994, the company has provided accommodation for 26 international students attending universities and graduate schools in Aichi Prefecture. This provides low cost accommodation for international students, and for the employees who live in the employee dormitories, it serves as an opportunity to communicate with foreigners.
Regional contribution at Noritake Sri Lanka
Noritake established Noritake Sri Lanka, a tableware manufacturer, in 1972. Since then, the company has continued to interact with the community in various ways, including making donations to hospitals and schools, and carrying out environmental activities.
In fiscal 2024, in addition to planting approximately 2,000 trees through a reforestation program conducted in collaboration with the University of Peradeniya, the Forest Department, and local communities, we also carried out beach cleaning activities to protect the coastal environment and prevent marine pollution.
