Environmental Communication
Kioxia Group actively participates in environmental activities that contribute to society.
We will continue to foster awareness of the environment and a sense of unity among our employees and engage in environmental activities that support local communities.
Communicating about the Environment in Local Communities
Kioxia Group conducts various environmental classes in order to help realize a sustainable society and help local communities to thrive.
Children’s Environmental Study Classes and Environmental Lecture
Kioxia Corporation’s Yokkaichi Plant holds Children’s Environmental Study Classes at after-school care centers, and at a museum in Yokkaichi devoted to raising public awareness of the risks of pollution and the need to protect the environment. In FY2024, approximately 70 elementary and junior-high school students participated in these classes, exchanging ideas on what they can do in their daily lives to help protect the environment. These classes provided an opportunity for the children to learn about the impact of global warming and the importance of energy conservation.
We also offer open courses on the environment for university students and the general public. About 40 people attended the course held at Yokkaichi University in 2024, where we communicated the importance of global environmental issues by explaining Kioxia Group’s activities for sustainability and for reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
Internship Program Focusing on the Environment
Kioxia Corporation’s Yokkaichi Plant offers an internship program covering the environment for local university students. In 2024, six students participated, gaining insights into the importance of environmental conservation work through lectures, tours of the plant's environmental facilities and explanations of our measurement processes.
Communication with Local Communities
Kioxia Corporation’s Yokkaichi Plant has been holding environmental liaison meetings with local neighborhood associations for over 20 years, providing them with reports on environmental conservation efforts, including the results of environmental measurements taken at the plant.
The plant also actively participates in local events such as Messe Nagoya, the Yokkaichi City Environmental Fair, and the Environmental Panel Exhibition, offering opportunities for local residents to deepen their interest in environmental issues.
Kioxia Iwate Corporation participates in Environmental Report Meetings with the Community,* jointly organized by Iwate Prefecture and Kitakami City, where we present our environmental reports, offer tours of our environmental facilities, and exchange ideas with local residents.
