Citizen Volunteer Club
The Citizen Volunteer Club was established within Citizen Holdings Co. Ltd. in October 2008.
Involvement and communication with the community is a pride and responsibility that comes with the name “citizen,” and we regard it as an invaluable asset. We will continue to actively propose and support activities that give each employee the chance to think about what they can do to contribute to society.
