MC is determined to grow together with local and international communities in order to contribute to building truly prosperous, sustainable societies around the world. With this in mind, we are engaged in a diverse range of ongoing social contribution projects and actively support the voluntary participation of our employees.

MC's social contribution activities, mainly in the fields of the global environment, public welfare, education, culture and the arts and international exchange, prioritize continual programs and voluntary efforts by employees worldwide.

MC is implementing various initiatives to promote employee participation in volunteer programs, as we think it is important for every member of staff to be fully aware of the importance of giving back to society. For example, MC has a system whereby employees can take up to 5 days of volunteer leave per annum and we regularly run in-house programs during lunch breaks or other convenient time slots to facilitate employee participation.

MC makes donations to public welfare, educational and environmental NPOs or foundations based on a system of virtual "tokens." Employees earn virtual tokens for volunteering their time, with each token worth a corporate donation of 500 yen. Tokens are not only awarded for volunteer work designated by MC, but also for activities undertaken independently by employees during their private time away from work.
