Social Contribution Activities

We strive to contribute to society under our corporate creed of “The mind seeks form, and form advances the mind” (meaning our mind affects our behavior and our behavior affects our mind). Here are some of social contribution activities we have been engaged in.

We made a donation, through the Japanese Red Cross Society, to the July 2020 Torrential Rains Disaster Relief Fund (in Japanese). The fund was setup after torrential rains caused severe damage in areas from Kyushu to Tohoku. The donation will be sent to the donation distribution committees established by the affected prefectures. We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to all the affected people.
