Measures Taken in Japan After Tohoku Earthquake and Thank-You to Everyone

Several months have already gone since the earthquake of March 11.
Until now, to avoid interruptions in commuting to work associated with disrupted public transportation in Japan, employees worked at home or were moved to a separate area in order to carry on with work. Also, the power shortage has impelled us to take many energy-saving measures.

[Energy-saving measures]
In order to respond to the power supply shortage this summer, PPC is implementing energy-saving measures at all business bases.
Energy-saving measures are as follows.

  1. Reduction of use of fluorescent lighting
  2. Keeping curtains open to employ use of natural light
  3. Air conditioning set to higher temperatures
  4. Use of fans instead of air conditioners (Tokyo headquarters)
  5. Shut down of unnecessary equipment and equipment that does not need to be used immediately

Other measures include automatic turnoff of lights when overtime exceeds a given length of time. We are doing everything possible to save energy.

[Thank You to Everyone]
All of the group companies have made generous monetary donations for the relief of earthquake victims. A heartfelt thank you to everyone.

Company contributions

PPC 20,000,000 yen
PTW 1,728,000 yen

Voluntary contributions by each company

PTM 216,188 yen

The monetary contributions received from each company were donated to the Japan Red Cross Society’s network of local branches. Money collected from the companies in Japan was also donated to Iwaki City in Fukushima Prefecture. Many money-raising and charity efforts were also undertaken by companies not listed above, in which a great many individuals participated.

Your goodwill is sure to reach the earthquake victims. We encourage you to continue in long-term support efforts.
