Initiatives for Disaster Measures
The JVCKENWOOD Group not only makes donations when disasters strike around the world, but also contributes to the creation of safe and secure communities by donating products that contribute to disaster prevention and mitigation, such as portable power supplies and radio equipment, to government agencies, local municipalities, and various organizations.
Donation of Telecommunications Equipment as part of the KENWOOD Cares Subsidy Program (Canada)
JVCKENWOOD Canada Inc. donates C$15,000 worth of KENWOOD communications equipment each year to non-profit volunteer organizations as part of the KENWOOD Cares subsidy program.
In FY2024,one of the most recent recipients is the Tehkummah Township Volunteer Fire Department. Based on the southern coast of Manitoulin Island in the Province of Ontario, this organization is responsible for community fire and medical emergency response as well as automobile rescue work.
Proposing a Portable Power Supply as an Emergency Environment Maintenance Solution
Typhoons, heavy rains, earthquakes and other natural disasters are frequent, and JVCKENWOOD offers portable power supplies and portable solar panels to homes, companies, government agencies, schools and other organizations as a solution to help maintain the environment during emergencies. These products assist in disaster prevention and mitigation, and contribute to the creation of more livable communities.
JVCKENWOOD Service donated a portable power supply to the city of Yokosuka, where it has its Head Office. For the sixth consecutive year, the mayor of Yokosuka City presented an official letter of thanks for this donation. We look forward to seeing our products continue to contribute to local communities.
Support for People and Areas Affected by Southern California Wildfire
In response to the devastating wildfires affecting Southern California, the JVCKENWOOD Group has donated approximately 100 units each of the KENWOOD brand's portable power stations and solar panels as emergency relief supplies through its U.S. sales subsidiary. These donations aim to support those affected by the disaster and contribute to the recovery efforts in the impacted areas. As part of ongoing support, additional donations of portable power stations and other supplies are being considered based on the evolving situation and requests from affected communities. The JVCKENWOOD Group extends its deepest sympathies to those who have lost their lives in the wildfires and expresses its heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the disaster.
