Employee participation in the Charitable Contributions Program (CCP)
In order to support activities for social welfare, a committee comprised of employees selects which organizations to support and conducts fund-raising activities. Funds for one of these organizations—the American Heart Association (AHA)—have been raised for seven years now, with employees also participating in charity walks. The CCP also collects donations to support the development of neighboring communities as well as reconstruction assistance for countries stricken by natural disasters. The Group companies also match donations collected by employees to support programs with the employees and companies are actively involved in.

Positive effect on employeesBy running the CCP, our company connects with neighboring communities and helps make them more viable and safe. The CCP also has an effect on employees. Employees have come to a deep understanding that their activities are helping to improve the lives of the people around them. Through these activities, the Nikon brand has gained broad recognition within the community, and employees have gained a stronger sense of solidarity with other employees and a stronger sense of belonging to the company.
