Social Contribution Activities

Policies

The DENTSU SOKEN Group has devised a sustainability policy based on our corporate philosophy: Acting with sincerity, we contribute to progress and harmony among our customers, consumers, and society by exploring the unlimited potential of technology.

We consider social contributions to be a critical aspect of our sustainability efforts. In addition to our business activities, we collaborate with various stakeholders and assist society by focusing on people and technology. Our aim is to help create a more prosperous and peaceful society, in which all can experience a sense of well-being.

Focal Themes

  • *
    The DENTSU SOKEN Group defines social contributions as activities that contribute to resolving social issues, and that have no direct, short-term connection to profit-seeking business activities.

TABLE FOR TWO Initiatives

The DENTSU SOKEN Group endorses the TABLE FOR TWO Program designed to eliminate global hunger and reduce health issues related to unhealthy eating. Since October 2010, the employee cafeteria* at the DENTSU SOKEN Head Office had been providing healthy, nutritionally balanced menus to help improve lifestyle-related diseases.
In April 2012, we installed beverage vending machines at the DENTSU SOKEN Head Office as part of the TABLE FOR TWO Program. Part of the proceeds are donated for the purchase of school lunches for children in developing countries.
DENTSU SOKEN will continue to engage in social contribution through food, while promoting these activities to encourage more employees to participate.

 
*The cafeteria has been closed since the summer of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

World Food Programme (WFP)

The United Nations’ food aid agency, the WPF, is the world’s largest humanitarian aid organization.

DENTSU SOKEN serves as a WFP point of contact for Japan’s private sector and supports the program’s activities by participating in a council set up by the Japan Association for the World Food Programme, an NPO responsible for financial cooperation and public relations efforts.

Natural Disaster Emergency Support

DENTSU SOKEN helps raise funds through a variety of aid groups in order to support people who have been affected by natural disasters.

Donating Disaster Stockpiled Food to Food Banks

We stockpile emergency food for employees and those who may have difficulty returning home in the event of a disaster. As part of our sustainable initiatives, we have donated approximately 10,000 meals of emergency food, which were nearing their expiration date, to food banks, social welfare councils, and children’s cafeterias nationwide through the ‘Stockpiled Food Utilization System JEFO Donation Matching’ operated by the Public Interest Incorporated Association Japan Emergency Food Promotion Organization (JEFO).

Cleanup Activities

In Tokyo’s Minato Ward, where the DENTSU SOKEN Head Office is located, we take part in cleaning activities each spring and fall, together with other nearby companies. This not only helps protect the environment, but also helps the community by removing litter, such as empty cans and bottles, as well as cigarette butts, that passers-by drop on the sidewalk.
