Corporate Citizenship Activities
Enriching Communities as a Corporate Citizenship
Since its founding, the Yamato Group has grown hand in hand with society. We believe that enriching local communities is the foundation for the Group's growth and development. The Yamato Group is therefore engaged in corporate citizen activities utilizing its various assets (inducing networks, know-how and human resources), with the aim of ensuring the sound and sustainable development of local communities and quality of life for the people who live in them.
Promotion System
In fiscal 2023, Yamato Transport launched a sustainability ambassador program that promotes sustainability activities in local communities. This promotes corporate citizenship activities rooted in local communities and that are unique to the Yamato Group. 125 people have participated so far. Through an online meet up (“sustainability café") , we will acquire knowledge of sustainability and understanding of the Yamato Group’s sustainability initiatives. Further, we will deepen our understanding of these activities by participating in corporate citizenship activities.
Policies on corporate citizenship activities and priority themes
Considering social issues, the Yamato Group's management philosophy and the thoughts on welfare of the late Mr. Masao Ogura, who created TA-Q-BIN, the Yamato Group works on four priority themes: the environment, safety, local communities and diversity and inclusion. The Yamato Group aims to help create a sustainable society through its activities and will contribute to creating an enriched society and co-create an enriched society for public welfare in cooperation with partners in local communities. The Group's employees interact with people with diverse values and their awareness of social issues will increase. Yamato Transport launched a volunteering leave system in FY2020 for activities relating to natural disasters such as earthquakes.
Policy on Corporate Citizenship Activities
The Yamato Group will address social issues related to the global environment, community safety and communities through business activities and a variety of activities as a corporate citizen. The Group will contribute to creating a fair society that leaves no one left behind through co-creation with communities.
Priority Themes
The Yamato Group has a network of business sites throughout the nation and thinks that working on local environmental conservation is a social responsibility it bears. To preserve local areas that are rich in nature for the next generation, the Group aims to create a society that is in harmony with nature through the environmental education of children and local environmental conservation activities.
The Yamato Group's philosophy puts safety first and sales second. The Group believes that one of its missions is to help children, the next generation, learn the importance of traffic safety. We also believe that, as a company that is a part of social infrastructure, we are responsible for supporting activities to be prepared for large disasters and supporting reconstruction activities after disasters in cooperation with communities. Through these activities, we aim to help people live safe and secure lives.
The Yamato Group's business is supported by local communities. To help create an enriched society as stated in the Group's Management Philosophy, which we embrace in day-to-day operations, we cooperate with local partners and we cherish the connections between communities and individuals.
The Yamato Group has approximately 220,000 employees. We aim to create a society where everyone can actively participate in society. We will contribute to laying a foundation for a society where people's personalities, individuality, diverse life styles and diverse cultures are respected, where each individual can leverage their individuality and where diverse people are able to actively participate in society.
