What is the Kubota e-Project?
The Kubota e-Project was launched in 2008 as a social contribution activities initiative in Kubota's business areas, the fields of food, water, and the environment.
The areas of food, water, and the environment are indispensable for supporting the foundation of people's prosperous lives. Kubota aims to contribute to resolving global social issues in these three fields, and with the understanding and cooperation of various stakeholders to make social contributions through activities based on the six e-perspectives to realize a sustainable society.

Relationship with Stakeholders
Kubota's corporate activities are based on the understanding and cooperation of numerous stakeholders which include customers, suppliers, investors, governments, local communities, and employees. Since our business is conducted having obtained a significant amount of energy and resources from the earth, the global environment itself is also an extremely important stakeholder. As a member of international society and local communities, Kubota values stakeholder relationships and will continue to work together to contribute to a sustainable society and an abundant global environment.
