Hitachi Electronic Devices (USA), Inc. firmly believes in the importance of being a good corporate citizen and to have a positive influence on the communities in which its employees work and live. One way HEDUS accomplishes this is through our Community Action Committee (CAC). Community Action Committee (CAC) Our Community Action Committee (CAC) is composed of a group of employees from all levels of HEDUS’s organization that volunteer their time and serve on the committee. These employees facilitate community involvement by identifying critical needs in our local community and then making recommendations designed to promote employee awareness and encourage active involvement that makes a difference. Whether it is by providing cash grants to support a non-profit organization, participating in fundraisers, volunteering their services, or providing in-kind donations such as computers equipment or other items; our employees work together to improve the quality of life in our community . HEDUS’s CAC is further supported by the Hitachi Foundation, which is a non-profit philanthropic organization. In particular, through the Hitachi Community Action Partnership (HCAP), the Hitachi Foundation matches the grants given by our CAC as well as other Hitachi Companies’ CACs , thus allowing an even greater impact to our respective communities. For more information about the Hitachi Foundation please visit www.hitachifoundation.com . CAC Activities Some of the non-profit organizations that HEDUS’s CAC has partnered with include American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association, Shriners Hospital for Children, as well as other local non-profit organizations that are focused on helping young children overcome various obstacles. Our CAC has been involved with Relay for life, Tour De Cure; and most recently providing School Supplies for children involved with the Building Dreams Program, which is a local non-profit organization that provides support to children who have one or more incarcerated parents. In addition, our CAC also participates in Hitachi North America’s Annual Food Drive that is held each July. This year our employees donated close to 2,000 lbs of food to be used in our local communities; and overall all Hitachi CACs in North America together collected over 58,000 pounds of food and $92,000 in donations to food banks. |
