MC promotes employee participation in our volunteer programs based on our belief that it is important for every member of staff to recognize our responsibility to give back to society. As part of this effort, 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 and other convenient time slots to facilitate employee participation.
MC makes donations to non-profit organizations and foundations working in the fields of public welfare, education and the environment based on our volunteer token system. Through this system, employees earn one token credit each time that they volunteer their time, with each token worth a corporate donation of 500 yen. Tokens are not only awarded for programs designated by MC, but also for volunteer activities undertaken independently by employees during their private time outside of work.
