Each Small Act Adds Up to Big Things

Launched in 1981, the International Year of Disabled Persons, the Small Light Campaign is a community service activity carried out with donations from the companies in the Osaka Gas Group and employees. In the campaign’s 30 years, our activities have included the support of groups such as residents of children’s homes, the elderly and disabled, and victims of natural disasters. Also under the campaign, Osaka Gas strives to be a good corporate citizen by working with local citizens to protect the environment and foster Kansai region culture so that people everywhere can enjoy a life that is comfortable and fulfilling.
The basic philosophy behind the Small Light Campaign is that each of us takes an interest in things close to us and have the will to earnestly solve the various problems that we see in our community. What makes this campaign special is that this philosophy guides employees in continuously planning and taking part in volunteer activities.
Examples of the campaign include an in-house volunteer group for sign language and Braille, and a group of alumni and local citizens who make sweets to take to children’s homes. It is our wish that each act by an individual Osaka Gas employee, no matter how small, adds up to solving a range of problems in local communities.
The symbol for the Small Light Campaign is a suzuran Restoration support after the Great East Japan Earthquake Preparing meals at sites stricken by the Great Hanshin Earthquake (lily of the valley) flower, which resembles a lantern cover of an old-fashioned gas lantern. Such a glass cover was used to ensure the gas lamp’s flame would not extinguish. The suzuran represents much goodwill and love.
We will continue to do our best to light the fire so that the flame of the Small Light Campaign continues burning bright.
