Social Initiatives

Glory harmonizes and advances the interests of the company and society by actively conducting social action programs as a good corporate citizen.

In March 1995, Glory established the GLORY Foundation for Elementary School Students to support the sound development of young people. Through the foundation, the company conducts sports, arts, and cultural activities that include hands-on science classes, experience-based classes for parents and children, and a children’s theater. A cumulative total of 106,000 people have taken part in these activities since the foundation was launched.

The foundation also assists organizations that work toward the sound development of elementary school students through activities in sports, science, and culture.

Held each summer, the Science Workshop gives elementary school children the opportunity to experience the excitement of science and manufacturing through hands-on projects while fostering creativity and imagination. Glory employees participate as volunteers, supporting the children throughout the activities.

In fiscal 2025, we welcomed 100 students in grades 4-6 and their guardians, who built remote-controlled dinosaur robots.

Himeji Elementary School volleyball class

Glory has signed a sponsorship agreement with Himeji Victorina Co., Ltd., which manages the Victorina Himeji women’s volleyball team (director and owner Masayoshi Manabe and director and vice-president Yoshie Takeshita). Based in Himeji, Hyogo, Victorina Himeji is Japan’s first professional women’s volleyball team.

Besides playing in a V1 league, the team promotes the sport in the community through activities that include appearances on talk shows and volleyball clinics for elementary and junior high school students. Glory strives to use sponsorship as a way to stimulate communitylevel sports and support the development of the next generation.

We expect the team to make another great leap forward in the V1 League and will continue to support them in their endeavors.
