Traffic and Road Safety -Ensuring Pedestrian and Driver Safety-
The LOGISTEED Group has offered traffic and road safety class to prevent our children--who are our future--from getting involved in road accidents and teach them the importance of life.
Donation of Spoke Reflectors (reflectors for bicycles)
We donate spoke reflectors for bicycles to local governments and traffic safety associations throughout Japan. These materials are distributed at traffic and road safety class and traffic safety campaigns to raise awareness of traffic accident prevention. In FY2024, we donated to three organizations, including the Hiroshima Prefectural Environment and Citizens Bureau.
Donation for traffic and road safety
We have been donating to the Traffic Accident Orphans Association (public interest incorporated foundation ("Daddy Long Legs"). The Traffic Accident Orphans Association was established for the purpose of lending tuition fees to children whose parents have died or suffered a severe disability due to a traffic accident and who have difficulty as a result in studying financially, in attempting to equalize educational opportunities and develop human resources that are of use to society.

Experience the workplace programs and taking on internships / providing donation course
Taking on Internships
In order to deepen the understanding of the logistics industry among young people who will be upcoming generation, we accept work experiences and internships in Japan and overseas, and provide donation courses for university students. In FY 2024, our domestic and overseas group companies accepted 52 people.
Human resource development through events
Turkey: Holding logistics worksite tours
MARS Logistics Group Inc., our group company in Turkey, held the training and logistics site tour for university students.
Domestic: Donation course for university students
We send instructors to lectures for university students conducted by the Japan Association for Logistics and Transport for the purpose of developing human resources for logistics.
In FY2024, under the theme of "Functions and Management of Logistics Companies," we provided lectures online centering on presenting an explanation of our main business, 3PL, to a total of 260 university students from Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo Metropolitan University and Yokohama National University. The lectures were an opportunity to encourage the younger generation entering the workforce to understand and be interested in logistics by introducing the latest efforts of logistics companies, which cannot be learned from textbooks alone, and to ask for frank opinions.
Some of the comments received included, "I learned that they set themselves apart from competitors such as trading companies by coming up with creative strategies and tactics, and it really made me realize how interesting the 3PL business is," "They gave specific examples such as optimizing logistics networks and efficient inventory management, and I came to really get why this leads to stronger competitiveness for customers," and "I was reminded that efforts to improve efficiency by making full use of IT technology and automation to address issues such as labor shortages and rising logistics costs will become increasingly important in the future."
Domestic: Cultivating local human resources
With a view to human resources development, we have been holding lectures at local universities and technical colleges since FY2023. In FY2024, we held lectures at eight schools, primarily in Akita, Yamaguchi, and Niigata prefectures, to further students' understanding of the logistics industry. We introduced the relationship between logistics and AI, including our Group's digital transformation case studies, and the robot control systems we use in our field.
We also conducted three internship programs, with 28 students from Japan and Korea (13 of whom were foreign nationals) participating. In addition to warehouse tours, the program included work experience using some of our internal teaching materials, allowing participants to gain practical knowledge and skills in logistics. Participating students commented that they were able to learn not only about the issues Japan's logistics industry is now facing, but also about the positive aspects, such as smart warehouses and the use of IT.
Sports initiatives
We contribute to regional vitalization and cooperate with sound development of young people through sports.
Cooperation for "Running Class"
The company's Track and Field Club is cooperating with "Running Classes" organized by the Matsudo City Board of Education in Chiba Prefecture. In these classes, athletes and coaches from the Track and Field Club teach approximately 80 elementary school students in the city the preparation and tips necessary to run fast, all while having fun together with the students.
