Social Contribution Activities

Social Contribution Areas

Topre Group has set the following areas, which are highly compatible with its management strategy, as its focus areas for social contribution through community investment.

・The spread of keyboard typing

In the Electronic Equipment Department, we are working to promote the spread of keyboard typing through our product "REALFORCE", a computer keyboard, thereby improving ICT skills and promoting postures that reduce fatigue when working on a computer.

・Contribution to the local community

The group has established “We respect the culture and customs of surrounding communities, engage in activities and contribute to their development.” in its Code of Conduct, and aims long-term coexistence and mutual development by implementing social contribution activities that contribute to local society and contributing to development.
Specifically, we donate to and support local sports and traffic safety associations, greening projects, and local elementary schools in the areas where our bases are located. These activities meet the needs of the community, contribute to the development of society as a whole, and lead to the sustainable growth of the company.

Keyboard typing competition holding of the "REALFORCE TYPING CHAMPIONSHIP 2024"

The “REALFORCE TYPING CHAMPIONSHIP,” a typing event sponsored by Topre, has been held since 2017, with the fifth competition held in March 2024.

Like last year, this competition was held jointly with Nippon Television, and many viewers became aware of the event due to announcements on TV.

A total of 12,495 people participated in the online qualifiers, and the final with the 16 winners was streamed live on YouTube.

The high level final, which required not only typing speed, but also accuracy, was very exciting, with running commentary and explanation of the heated battle.

We would like to continue holding competitions to convey the fun of typing and help to spread typing as an e-sport.
