KOKUSAI ELECTRIC Certified as Silver Partner by TABLE FOR TWO

KOKUSAI ELECTRIC CORPORATION (President and CEO: Fumiyuki Kanai, headquarters: Tokyo, Japan) is proud to announce that it has been certified as a 2022 Silver Partner by a nonprofit organization, TABLE FOR TWO International, and has received a letter of appreciation.

TABLE FOR TWO (TFT) is a program that gifts a meal to developing countries for each meal bought in developed countries. KOKUSAI ELECTRIC supports this activity as an initiative designed to simultaneously solve the hunger problem in developing countries and the overeating problem in developed countries and offers a different TFT menu each day in its canteen in the Toyama Technology & Manufacturing Center. Ordering a low-calory, healthy TFT menu promotes health as well as raising a donation of 20 Japanese yen for each meal bought to provide school meals for children in developing countries. As part of the TFT program, the Company has also installed a total of seven beverage vending machines in the Group’s premises such as its Head Office and Toyama Technology & Manufacturing Center. These efforts in 2021 led to the Company’s recent certification as a 2022 Silver Partner.

Going forward, the Group will continue aiming to build a safe, pleasant, vibrant, and sustainable society and to achieve the sustained growth of the Group from the aspects of both business and sustainability under its corporate slogan, “Technology & Tai-wa for Tomorrow.”

Founded in October 2007, TABLE FOR TWO International promotes a program that raises a donation of 20 yen from each TFT Healthy Menu meal bought at office canteens or shops. The program is based on the concept of sharing meals between those in developed countries and children in developing countries and the money raised is used to provide school meals to children suffering from hunger worldwide. Approximately 650 organizations including companies, public offices, universities, and hospitals, participate in this program to provide school meals and to support vegetable garden and productivity improvement programs mainly in five countries in East Africa and Southeast Asia (Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, and the Philippines).
