Support for Development of Local Communities

As one of our responsibilities as a member of local communities, TOYO TIRE provides support for efforts to revive local economies and rebuild disaster-stricken communities.
On August 31, 2019, the management and employees at TOYO TYRE MALAYSIA SDN BHD joined the Taiping Community Service Society (ESDA) in celebrating Hari Merdeka (Independence Day). ESDA is a non-profit organization that offers social services and vocational training to persons with disabilities and the poor. Many of the residents have physical and/or mental disabilities and need special assistance and care. On the day, members from the company provided refreshments, played games with the residents, and presented confectionery assortment as a keepsake. The event made it apparent that many people in the community support the organization. Also, both the company and ESDA reaffirmed that they can support each other in helping people in need. After the event, they donated approximately US$1,200 to ESDA for use for future activities.
The company also sponsors the Toyo Tyre Charity Run, an annual fund-raising marathon meet, and contributes donations from participants to local welfare facilities. In FY2019, they donated roughly US$9,600 in total to four such facilities.
For a community to achieve sustainable growth, it is vital that all of its members are given equal opportunities, and this, in turn, will lead a company to be successful. Bearing this in mind, we will remain committed to engaging in social services.

The TTHA Group organizes a “Holiday Toy Drive” for the holiday season. Following the huge success of last year’s Drive, they invited their employees to donate toys and delivered them to children who were undergoing treatment at a local children’s hospital.
The TTHA Group also supports a local incorporated non-profit organization, Women Helping Women (WHW), which provides free vocational training and employment support to job seekers so that they can find a stable job that best meets their abilities. In 2019, The TTHA Group held a “Clothing Drive”, where their employees contributed clothing and daily necessities to this organization supporting women.
