IBIDEN Philippines, Inc. has conducted a scholarship program in cooperation with high schools for high school students from poor families as part of its educational support activities throughout the year by collecting donations from our employee volunteers since fiscal year 2009. In fiscal year 2019, 142 employees' donations helped 222 students. We donate income from "Chovola" activities * of our Group companies in Japan for this program. IBIDEN Philippines donated school supplies to a local elementary school and other facilities, according to the school grades concerned. The company provided students from preschool age to lower elementary school grades with lunchboxes, tumblers and backpacks, and those in higher grades with umbrellas and backpacks.

*"Chovola" activities: "Chovola" is an abbreviated word from a Japanese expression of "chottoshita (small) volunteer." We call for our employees to do small volunteer activities for collection events for used stamps and postcards as well as bottle caps, etc. in the IBIDEN Group.
