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 2025"
The “REALFORCE TYPING CHAMPIONSHIP,” a typing event sponsored by Topre, has been held since 2017, with this year’s event being the sixth competition in total.
Between March 25 and April 7, 2025, we held preliminaries online, before the final stage for the top eight competitors from the preliminaries on April 26.
Like last year, this competition was held jointly with Nippon Television Network Corporation, and many viewers became aware of the event due to announcements on TV.
A total of 9,668 competitors participated in four online preliminaries, with eight competitors that were victorious in the preliminaries proceeding to the final stage.
In previous years, the final event has been held offline with an audience, but it was held without an audience this year, to ensure an environment that enabled the competitors to better concentrate on typing.
The high level final stage, 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.

The company’s "REALFORCE" keyboards have been available as hometown tax payment goods from Sagamihara City, where Electronic Equipment Department is based for production, since February 2020, and we have been getting a big response.
