Saison Technology Accelerates Sustainable Management Through Donations

Saison Technology, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, is taking significant steps towards humanitarian impact and environmental sustainability in its business practices. The company recently announced a donation of approximately ¥21.3 million, which is about 1% of their projected operating profit for the 2024 fiscal year. This contribution is aimed at supporting 12 organizations that engage in activities closely aligned with the company’s mission and material issues.

Purpose of the Donations

This generous donation reflects Saison Technology's commitment to sustainability, a principle deeply integrated into its mission: "Connecting data globally, creating a society where everyone can utilize data." The projects funded include initiatives aimed at bridging the digital divide for the visually impaired and providing IT education to women and school-aged children.

In 2023, Saison Technology continues its support for organizations such as the Japan Braille Library and the Japan Association of Visually Impaired Persons, which focus on empowering visually impaired individuals through technology. Additionally, the company is backing non-profit organizations like Minna no Code and Waffle, both of which promote programming education and IT training, particularly for young women, addressing gender gaps in the tech field.

Addressing Economic and Opportunity Disparities

The company also targets economic disparities by donating around ¥4.19 million to five organizations that address inequality in learning opportunities and experiences stemming from economic conditions. Saison Technology has extended its support of free camping programs for children, organized by the Tomorrow Foundation, aligning with its focus on providing equitable experiences.

Furthermore, they strategically collaborate with their global affiliates, offering contributions towards activities tackling child poverty led by organizations in the United States, UK, Singapore, and Thailand. These efforts reflect Saison Technology's commitment to fostering a more equitable society.

Environmental Sustainability Efforts

In line with their commitment to environmental sustainability, approximately ¥7.21 million has been allocated to three organizations focused on conserving natural resources. New partnerships have been formed with the Japan Greenery Promotion Organization, aimed at supporting domestic forest conservation efforts. Additionally, Saison Technology maintains collaborations with Conservation International on vital biodiversity protection projects in Cambodia, as well as ongoing engagements with the US-based organization As You Sow to promote sustainable and just environmental practices.

Continuous Stakeholder Engagement

Saison Technology intends to continue its frequent and multifaceted engagement with various stakeholders to pave the way towards a more sustainable future. The company emphasizes that these donations are not end-goals but part of a broader strategy to establish stronger ties and deepen understanding of the issues at hand through facility visits, training, and pro bono programs.

Saison Technology believes in building relationships with its beneficiary organizations, seeing them as experts who can provide insights into the pressing challenges they aim to address.

Future Directions

Looking ahead, Saison Technology will persist in its diverse initiatives in sustainability, which have been formalized through a sustainability policy that allows for proactive and systematic efforts toward a sustainable society.
