Corporate citizenship activities

One of the principles included in Kao Corporation’s code of conduct is a commitment to contribute to the enrichment of society through activities that constitute a social contribution.

We collaborate with the communities around us with the aim of contributing to the social development and well-being of people with a long-term perspective and making their challenges and objectives our own.

Support for education and equal opportunities

At all KCE subsidiaries, partnerships have been established with educational institutions, such as secondary schools or universities, for internships at the company. In this context, KCG supports local school systems with financial donations.

KCSA continues its programme to support chemistry students with intermediate and advanced degrees through scholarships to continue their studies. Scholarship students attend secondary schools in Barberà del Vallès and Mollet del Vallès. At the same time, QK provides grants to the Colegio Nacional de Educación Profesional Técnica.

Visits for students are organised at all KCE Group plants, bringing the reality of the companies closer to the students.

The Spanish affiliate KCSA collaborates with the NGO Burkina Women, an organisation that helps women living in poverty in Burkina Faso.

Participation in social, cultural and sports initiatives and activities

We participate in social and educational initiatives in our communities. KCG collaborates with various local institutions through donations and the sponsorship of the municipal fire brigade and various cultural and sports associations.

QK collaborates, through monetary and product donations, with the Albergue Padre Pio, the Comedor 12 Apostles, the Albergue Infantil Los Pinos and Hogares fraternales del Salto.

In Spain, KCHI and KCSA participate in food drives with local institutions, the Food Bank and the Red Cross, as well as in the collection of toys for the Red Cross in Mollet and Olesa and Social Services in Barberà del Vallès.

KCSA sponsors the publication of Notes, promoted by the Centre d’Estudis Molletans in collaboration with the City Council of Mollet del Vallès and the Premi de Recerca Vila d’Olesa, dedicated to promoting knowledge of the town’s historic, economic, and socio-cultural past. KCHI sponsored the children’s team, Club Futbol L’Olleria, while KCSA sponsored the children’s team, Futbol Club Mollet.
