About the activities
Donating employees' credit card points
We convert a portion of the points awarded to employee JACCS cards into monetary amounts, the company adds an equal amount, and this money is used for donation activities. Every year, we conduct a nomination and voting process by our officers and staff to determine the recipients of donations and the amount to be donated to each organization. In fiscal year 2025, we donated a total of 5.71 million yen to nine organizations.

Implementation of the JACCS Yumeiku Donation
Starting in fiscal year 2025, we are carrying out a donation initiative to provide medium- to long-term support for nonprofit organizations that offer educational assistance to children and young people suffering from poverty.
This is a recurring annual donation, and the donation amount will fluctuate each year based on the performance of the education loans handled by our credit and finance businesses.
The name Yumeiku embodies meanings such as “nurturing dreams” and “making dreams.”
Through this donation, we aim to contribute to creating educational opportunities that are often limited for economic reasons and to help realize our management philosophy of “the realization of a future inspired by dreams.”

Support for children's cafeterias
Leveraging the JACCS Group's network of locations, starting from fiscal year 2023, employees visit nearby children's cafeterias (66 locations in total as of fiscal 2025) twice a year to donate food items. We delivered local products from Hakodate, Hokkaido, our founding location, and sweets manufactured by people at a facility for persons with disabilities located in Shibuya, Tokyo, where our headquarters is situated, deepening exchanges with local communities.
Contributing to forest conservation through JACCS forest creation
In fiscal 2023, we started the project "JACCS Forest Creation" with the aim of environmental conservation. This activity is a five-year forest conservation project to promote forest restoration and regeneration in Hokkaido, which is affiliated with JACCS, in collaboration with The Life Style Research Institute of Forests, a non-profit organization.
Led by executives and employees from our four bases in Sapporo, we planted 1,500 saplings on 1 hectare of land at the base of Mt. Kamuishiri. After that, we support the growth of the seedlings through regular weeding and other maintenance.
Inviting children with childhood cancer and children from orphanages to baseball games
We operate an initiative to invite children with childhood cancer, their families, and children from orphanages to Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters games at "ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO" in Kitahiroshima City, Hokkaido.
Executives, employees and their family members support the event as volunteer staff, and the invited children enjoy extraordinary experiences on the ground, such as the first ball ceremony and base running, in addition to watching the baseball. We invited 105 people in fiscal 2026.
Supporting the Hakodate Marathon in Hakodate, the place of our founding
We have been sponsoring the Hakodate Marathon since the first race in 1991. Since the full-half concurrent event in 2016, we have been supporting Hakodate and the runners by dispatching employee volunteers to water supply stations and conducting water supply activities, hoping to make the event at the place of our founding, Hakodate, even more of a success.
In the 2025 marathon, we contributed to the community by distributing sponges wetted with water and salt supplements.
Sponsoring Gold Ribbon Walking
As a sponsor of the Gold Ribbon Walking charity event held by the Gold Ribbon Network Foundation to spread understanding and knowledge of childhood cancer, JACCS officers and employees participated as volunteer staff, distributing goods and calling for donations. Since 2016, officers and employees who agreed to participate have also provided support through event participation and donations.
Supporting para-volleyball as a Special Partner
We have entered into a partnership agreement with the Japan Para-Volleyball Association. In order to support the further spread of para-volleyball, we co-sponsor in-house experience sessions and on-site classes at elementary and junior high schools held by the Association.
Pro bono support that utilizes the skills of employees
Employees serve as lecturers and cooperate in the "Business Basics Course for NPOs, Facilities, and Volunteer Centers" hosted by the Tokyo Voluntary Action Center (operated by the Tokyo Council of Social Welfare). With the theme of "sales," which is the main business activity of JACCS, employees give lectures on business communication based on knowledge and skills cultivated through many years of experience.
Participants shared feedback, such as "I want to value the basic stance of direct dialogue" and "I would like to immediately apply the lecture content toward collaboration with companies."
Making and donating building blocks using thinning wood
Utilizing the Wood Use Project run by the NPO The Lifestyle Research Institute of Forests, officers and employees sand building blocks made from thinning timber and donate them to nursery schools and kindergartens. In fiscal year 2024, we donated to 15 facilities, and we were able to enjoy exchanges with local children, including receiving songs as thanks when we actually visited nursery schools.
Implementation of the "Vaccines through secondhand clothes" initiative
In fiscal 2023, we implemented the package "Vaccines through secondhand clothes" provided by JAPAN REUSE SYSTEM. It is a mechanism that leads to the achievement of various SDGs such as a recycling business in Cambodia, creation of local employment, decarbonization, and polio vaccinations through the collection of unwanted clothes.
Despite it being the first implementation, 133 bases participated nationwide and we collected about 8,500 items of secondhand clothes equivalent to 875 polio vaccines.
Holding of in-house sales events for daycare facilities for people with disabilities
At several bases, including the headquarters (Ebisu, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), we regularly hold in-house sales events where executives and employees sell independent products such as sweets and bread made by people with disabilities in local daycare facilities. Through this activity, we contribute to sales and provide a place for people with disabilities to participate in society.
Social contribution activities by overseas group companies
Our overseas group companies also independently plan and carry out social contribution activities.
At JACCS MICROFINANCE (CAMBODIA) PLC (JMC) in Cambodia, we plan CSR activities twice a year, donating $3,000 to the Japan Heart Children's Medical Center and sponsoring the Yu & Me project organized by Football-For-Everyone Pte., Ltd., holding a soccer class that invited children from nonprofit organizations in Phnom Penh.
