We will support the activities of NPOs and other organizations through donations.
By actively supporting various initiatives that can leverage the expertise and experience of these NPOs we hope to contribute to help resolve issues and support the development of local communities so that society can be a place of hope.
We will also make donations in the event of a natural disaster to local governments to help in the recovery and reconstruction of the affected people and regions.
In 2015, the Children’s Future Support National Movement was launched as a public-public-private partnership project, and as part of that initiative, the Children’s Future Support Fund was established. From 2023, the Children and Families Agency, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), and the Welfare and Medical Service Agency will serve as the secretariat, supporting private-sector activities that aid children in economically difficult circumstances.
We continued volunteering for activities organized by Hands-On Tokyo to support the local community. This year, we helped deliver gifts to children living in maternal and child life support facilities and children’s homes.
The mission statement of Hands On Tokyo is to contribute to society, and promote volunteerism by providing meaningful volunteer opportunities that meet the needs of the community.
We made a donation so that children who visited the Manbo Children’s Cafeteria during the summer holidays could enjoy something sweet after their meals.
Based on this donation, we were told that they were able to prepare 150 desserts three times, bringing joy to the children. We are very happy that we were able to bring smiles to the children’s faces.
Manbo Children’s Cafeteria holds dinner gatherings twice a month in Seijo, Setagaya Ward. Many children and their guardians come not only with financial difficulties but also with concerns such as neglect or other complicated family environments, and the cafeteria serves as a comforting place of respite for them. With the support of volunteers and local companies, their activities provide an indispensable presence closely connected to the community.
The Children’s Hospice Project, a nonprofit organization, was established as the first community-based children’s hospice in Japan in 2016 at Tsurumi Ryokuchi, Osaka with the aim of create a society where children with life-threatening illnesses and their families can live with peace of mind. They organization provides spaces for play and learning, helping them “Live Deeply.”
The Yokohama Children’s Hospice — Umi to Sora no Ouchi (The House of Sea and Sky) — is a community-based children’s hospice that protects the hearts and smiles of children living with life-impacting illnesses along with their families. Even when facing illness, the children’s wishes do not change. They want to play with their favorite toys, study alongside friends, and spend relaxing moments with their families. It is a place where children can play, learn, and experience many other meaningful moments.
Established in 2009, BDTI has been working to contribute to the sound development of Japanese companies and the Japanese economy through the improvement of corporate governance. For over 12 years, BDTI has been providing “Director Training” for directors and executive officers, and we are the only “public interest” organization certified by the government in this field.
Piccolare is a non-profit organization that conducts various activities with the aim of realizing a society where anyone can live freely and happily without being isolated due to pregnancy.
We operate services such as “Ninshin SOS Tokyo,” which offers telephone, email, and chat consultations as well as accompanying support for unexpected pregnancies and other pregnancy-related concerns 365 days a year, and “Pisara,” a safe place for pregnant women who have no secure place to stay.
Kōsai Mirai-en, Nozomi-en is a rare type of hybrid facility in Japan that combines a child welfare institution with a child psychological treatment center. Although the differences between the two types of facilities can sometimes lead to challenges, it is also those very differences that provide that ability to assist children from multiple perspectives. The facility is committed to offering the kind of support that only they can provide.
In response to the torrential rains that devastated the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture in September 2024, we donated disaster relief funds to support those affected.
We offer our heartfelt condolences and prayers for the swift recovery and reconstruction.
Since 2024, we have supported volunteer activities by employees.
Through these activities, we aim to contribute to the local community, fulfill our corporate social responsibility, deepen our ties with the local community, and enhance the humanity of each of our employees.
We will continue to work with NPOs and other organizations to realize a sustainable society.
We participated in the making gift packages organized by Hand On Tokyo (Certified NPO). We prepared 100 gift packages for children lining in mother-and-child support facilities and child welfare institutions in the Kansai region by filling bags with presents and crafting handmade origami and message cards.
Each gift bag was completed after the employees folded the origami with care hoping to bring smiles to the children’s faces.
We will continue to engage in activities that support our community by doing what we can.
We support the activities of the certified NPO Japan Committee, Vaccines for the World’s Children (JCV), by donating used postage stamps.
JCV sells these collected postcards and stamps to collectors and uses the proceeds to provide polio vaccines to children in developing countries.
We hope that our donations can, even in a small way, contribute to these efforts.
As part of our contribution to society, we deliver lectures at universities and public foundations to support educational and research efforts.
