Donate 1% of operating profits

We are promoting the integration of sustainability and business. Starting in fiscal 2023, we will revise our basic policy for donating 1% of our operating profits, which we have been doing since fiscal 2020, to support the activities of nonprofit organizations that align with our mission and materiality (important issues) while maintaining independence from our business. Furthermore, we strive to further understand the issues and foster relationships of trust by inviting experts with knowledge of our priority issues to participate in in-house training sessions and facility visits.

Basic Policy

While maintaining independence from our business and the credibility of our charitable giving, we will donate 1% of our operating profits to activities that advance our mission or materiality.

Contributing to diverse employment (SISCO Farm)

As part of our activities to support the employment of people with disabilities, we have been operating a farm (SISCO Farm) in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture since 2018 to support working styles. We contribute to the local community by donating vegetables harvested at this farm to NPOs such as children's cafeterias. On July 1, 2020, we also opened "SISCO Farm II" in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture, with the aim of creating an environment where people with various disabilities can work safely, securely, and long-term, while also allowing them to play a part in our social contribution and CSR activities as independent producers.
