We aim to be a company that enjoys friendly relations with its neighbors through cleanup activities in the surrounding areas, participation in community events and youth development programs, and promotion of sports.
TOCALO's community cleanup activities began as part of our activities to contribute to local communities. As always, the cleanups are conducted while paying close attention to traffic and wearing high-visibility orange bibs.
Quite a bit of garbage tends to find its way to the area around the Kobe Plant, often fireworks residue and barbecue leftovers discarded at a nearby park. Something that has been encouraging in our regular cleanup activities is that our neighbor companies have told us they would like to start their own activities based on ours.
A team from the Thermal Spraying Technology R&D Laboratories, with the proper permissions, cleans the green area of the nearby Akashi Seaside Park.
The Akashi Plant engages in monthly cleanup activities in conjunction with the cleanup activities of its industrial park.
At the Head Office, we pick up litter on sidewalks and in gutters around the office on a monthly basis.
We will continue our community cleanup activities in a way that is tailored to each business location and the characteristics of their surrounding communities.
TOCALO has been a special sponsor of the Akashi-jyoki Gakudo Soft Baseball Tournament since its launch in 2012. Teams from the local prefecture (Hyogo) battled it out in the 2025 tournament, and the head of the Akashi Plant presented the tournament awards at the closing ceremony.

In fiscal 2025, the Tokyo Plant‘s Gyoda Workshop once again hosted a school field trip by elementary students, who particularly enjoyed opportunities to experience our technologies in person. TOCALO is dedicated to continuing to provide educational activities for children in nearby communities.

Under the Dream Seminar program, which is part of the Be Kobe Mirai Project organized by the city of Kobe, various companies and organizations are invited to present on-site seminars. In fiscal 2025, TOCALO was one of 25 companies that ran seminars for children on topics such as work, study, dreams, and lifestyles. Comments from the children after the TOCALO seminars included “I can achieve independence thanks to the help I’ve received from various people. I want to show my gratitude to my family and other people,” and “In the future I want to shift from being a person who receives to a person who gives.” TOCALO will continue to work in partnership with communities to help children realize their dreams for the future.
