Fairtrade is a global initiative aimed at supporting producers and workers in developing countries who are in vulnerable positions by purchasing raw materials and products at fair prices. Ensuring fair compensation not only improves local living standards and promotes economic independence but also contributes to sustainable regional development and environmental preservation.
To enhance awareness and encourage the purchase of Fairtrade goods the non-profit organization Fairtrade Label Japan organizes the ‘Million Action Campaign’ every May. In alignment with this initiative, the Group has continued its support as a Bronze Partner from the previous year, actively engaging in various activities to promote Fairtrade.
As part of these efforts, Topcon showcased campaign-related content via digital signage at its headquarters and key offices and offered two varieties of Tony’s Chocolonely chocolate for sale at its in-house shop. Fairtrade goods were also served as refreshments for visitors, further reinforcing the campaign’s objectives. Notably, for the June shareholders’ meeting, we plan to offer Fairtrade baked goods by SCOOsweets (The fairtrade sweets brand developed by Fair Trade Cotton Initiative Co., Ltd.) as gifts, in line with our philosophy of contributing to enriching human life.
Through this campaign and other social initiatives, the Topcon Group remains committed to helping realize a sustainable and equitable global society.
