With Local Communities
The Group aims to be a good corporate citizen by supporting various activities in such fields as "traffic and road safety", "training a new generation of people", "innovation", "environmental protection," and "contribution of local communities" both in Japan and overseas under the basic principle of "Objectives of Social Contribution Activities."
Traffic and Road Safety -Ensuring Pedestrian and Driver Safety-
The 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 FY2023, we donated them to six places, including the Council of Social Welfare for Yokohama City's Nishi Ward.
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.
Training a New Generation of People -Paving the Way for the Future of the Next Generation-
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 FY2023, six companies (four domestic group companies and two overseas group companies) accepted 112 people.
Human resource development through events
Turkey: Holding logistics worksite tours
Group company Mars Logistics Group Inc. in Turkey, in cooperation with the local logistics association, held logistics worksite tours for the area around Istanbul.
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 FY2023, 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 411 university students from Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo Metropolitan University and Yokohama National University. We discerned the high level of interest in logistics due to some universities choosing participants in a draw as a result of many people wishing to attend the lectures, and the total number of participants increased by around 100 from the previous year. 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.
Participants gave comments such as "I learned that LOGISTEED is a company that provides a wide range of support, not just in the areas of 3PL business and logistics consulting, but also in management strategy, providing services that go beyond the logistics field" and "I was able to learn in detail about the issues currently facing the logistics industry, such as the need to respond to globalization and need to automate and use IT and AI technology for labor-saving measures to solve the shortage of drivers and workers."
Domestic: Guest lecture at Akita Prefectural University
As part of activities led by Akita Prefecture to create synergy between companies and educational institutions, we gave a special lecture from the perspective of human resource development. In FY2023, in a class on AI (artificial intelligence) to about 30 third-year students at the Department of Information and Computer Science, Faculty of Systems Science and Technology, Akita Prefectural University (Yurihonjo City), we gave a lecture on the subject of AI (artificial intelligence) entitled "Case Studies of AI Implementation at LOGISTEED" In the lecture, a young employee of our company acted as the lecturer, using some of the educational materials for in-house data scientists to introduce the relationship between logistics and AI to the students, with examples of DX in our Group. The students commented, "I thought the lecture would mainly be about logistics, but I found it interesting because it was related to everyday examples, not just AI."
Sports initiatives
We contribute to regional vitalization and cooperates 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 100 elementary school students in the city the preparation and tips necessary to run fast, all while having fun together with the students.
