On July 9, 2026, the company received a certificate of appreciation from Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, for its ongoing contributions over six years.

The company has been making financial donations to Zama City, where it has a branch, as part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives.

This donation reflects a shared commitment to fostering a circular economy and safeguarding future generations.

Supporting Children and Sustainable Communities

Kuriayama’s donations have been directed towards Zama’s programs aimed at nurturing the country’s youth and enhancing community safety. Each initiative has received half a million yen, supporting the Healthy Growth of Future Generations project, which operates the Child and Family Center, and the Safe and Secure Community initiative that promotes reuse and recycling within the city.

Since its inception, Kuriayama Motor Co. has engaged in selling and purchasing used trucks and distributing rebuilt parts, all under the philosophy of passing on usable resources to the next generation. The company actively encourages recycling and reduction of environmental impact, aligning with Zama’s objectives to promote a greener community.

Moreover, Kuriayama collaborates with local schools, such as Kanto Daiichi High School, facilitating joint projects that provide educational opportunities for students, reinforcing its commitment to ensuring a nurturing environment for the youth.

Exchange of Ideas for Circular Economy

Following the appreciation ceremony, a discussion took place between President Tomohiro Kuriayama and Mayor Yato Sato. During this meeting, Zama City shared their advanced initiatives in digital waste collection and effective recycling strategies that support a circular economy. President Kuriayama took this opportunity to introduce Kuriayama's ongoing project to innovate with refurbished trucks as they celebrate their 60th anniversary, thereby emphasizing resource utilization and eco-friendly practices.

The dialogue also included ideas about future partnerships between private entities and local authorities to enhance environmental cooperation.

A Symbol of Community Connection

The appreciation ceremony concluded with a memorable photo opportunity in front of a mural at Kuriayama's Tokyo branch. This mural has been created in collaboration with students from Kanto Daiichi High School as a representation of community ties and the aspiration for future generations. President Kuriayama and Mayor Sato commemorated this occasion with a photograph, further solidifying their shared vision of community and sustainability.

President's Statement

President Tomohiro Kuriayama remarked, “Since establishment, we have been dedicated to the sale and acquisition of used trucks and the provision of rebuilt parts as part of our commitment to utilizing limited resources responsibly. We believe that supporting our community and the youth is pivotal in this effort. I hope that our recent contributions assist in the healthy growth of Zama City’s children and the establishment of a circular economy. We will continue to preserve our connections with the community while contributing to a sustainable society.”
