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.

The donation will be used by MSF in various countries to assist authorities in their provision of care for COVID-19 patients, protect people who are vulnerable and at risk, keep essential medical services running, as well as support other related activities.

We made a donation, through the Japanese Red Cross Society, to the July 2020 Torrential Rains Disaster Relief Fund (in Japanese).
