Social Contribution Activities
Collection Volunteers
Social contribution organizations such as NGOs and NPOs help fund their activities by collecting income from membership fees and donations from corporations and individuals that support those activities, as well as collecting used stamps and the like.
As a close volunteer who can participate in our company, with the cooperation of our employees, Star collects used stamps, foreign coins, and the like, and donates them to UNICEF, JOICFP, the Prefectural Volunteer Association, and others. Also, the company provides a certain amount of support with a matching gift for these donations.
Setup of Fundraising Type Vending Machines
The headquarters has set up fundraising beverage vending machines from which part of the purchase price is donated to a designated organization for fundraising.
The headquarters vending machines are used for welfare activities in Shizuoka Prefecture as joint fundraising for the Central Community Chest of Japan.
Business Trip Blood Donations from the Japanese Red Cross
Because life-sustaining blood cannot yet be artificially produced and stored for long periods of time, blood that is required for medical care is supported by donations.
Star is registered as a blood donor, and with the cooperation of our employees, the company conducts blood donations through the Japanese Red Cross twice a year.
Support for Training Institutions
Shizuoka University, a national university corporation headquartered in Shizuoka Prefecture, is implementing the "Asia Bridge Program." This is an educational program with the goal of strategically developing global human resources (international students and Japanese students) who are active overseas, mainly in Asia.
Star supports that program by endorsing its purpose and making donations.
Implementation of Ordinary Life-saving Training
In addition to installing AEDs internally, our "Ordinary Life-saving Training" is held annually with the cooperation of a local fire department.
This course includes simulations and practical skills such as giving first aid, handling bleeding, resuscitation methods during a cardiopulmonary arrest, and the use of AEDs and the like. All employees can take courses to be prepared for times when they may need to use those skills.
