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$10,000 worth of KENWOOD communications equipment each year to non-profit volunteer organizations as part of the KENWOOD Cares subsidy program.
In FY2023, we donated NXDN wireless units to the Search and Rescue Dog Association of Alberta (SARDAA) in Edmonton, Alberta. SARDAA is an organization that dispatches teams of dogs and their handlers for search and rescue activities in Alberta, and these NXDN wireless units will enable them to perform search and rescue duties more safely and efficiently.
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 fifth 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 the "2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake"
As support for victims and reconstruction of affected areas in the "2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake" in January 2024, we donated five million yen, as well as supplies in the form of professional wireless systems, portable power sources, solar panels, and photocatalyst disinfection and deodorizing equipment. We will continue to consider ongoing support, taking into consideration the status of damage from the earthquake and requests from affected areas.
The JVCKENWOOD Group sincerely hopes that affected areas will be able to recover and return to normal day-to-day life as soon as possible.
