CITIZEN Volunteer Club

Since establishing the Citizen Volunteer Club at CITIZEN WATCH in October 2008, as a company whose corporate philosophy is “Loved by Citizens, Working for Citizens,” we have promoted activities to encourage individual employees to reconsider the challenges society faces through voluntary participation in activities with a view to complying with the UN Global Compact and contributing to the achievement of the SDGs.

1. Let’s Send Toothbrushes to Children in the Philippines! (Started in 2010)

The CITIZEN Group

As a corporation participating in the United Nations Global Compact, The CITIZEN Group carries out activities aimed at eradicating world poverty. In 2022, we collected 4,875 toothbrushes, towels, and stationery items in Japan and sent them to the Philippines, and executives and employees from group companies participated in the “Support Medical Care in the Philippines, Hello Alson” project, which conducts free dental health activities in slum communities in the Philippines.

2. Supporting Learning with Used Books (Started in 2016)

CITIZEN WATCH

Thank You Books is an activity aiming to create a society where each of us can help solve social issues by donating familiar items that we used to dispose of.

The CITIZEN Group began this activity in 2016 and has donated 20,600 books by FY2022 to NPOs that works to address child poverty and educational disparities in Japan.
