Basic policy on social contribution activities
The Mynavi Group’s Purpose is: “To create a world that envisions the future by engaging with individual potential.” To realize this Purpose, we conduct support activities primarily centered around “environmental conservation,” “next-generation development,” “sports and cultural support,” and “reconstruction support,” leveraging the business assets and intellectual properties developed thus far.
We will continue to collaborate with all stakeholders to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society where the future is bright and full of possibilities.
Environmental conservation
Use of FSC certificated (forest certification) paper
-
As part of our sustainable environmental efforts, since 2020, we have transitioned to using FSC certified paper for our “original paper bags,” “comprehensive brochures,” and other materials, in consideration of the environmental conservation of forests.
FSC certification (forest certification) is the certification based on the international standard defined by the Forest Stewardship Council. It verifies that the product is appropriately managed by using the strict management system to evaluate and certify that “management of forests and tree trimming is performed in such a way that the environment and local communities are taken into consideration.”
Recycling activities
We recycle plastic bottle caps, clear files, and other plastic products, and also engage in activities to revitalize local shopping areas. (For details, see [Activities at branches/sub-branches].)

Contribution to the “World Children’s Education Fund”
Since 2005, we have contributed 1% of our net income for the “World Children’s Education Fund.”
The Foundation uses this fund to promote the healthy growth and future employment of children and contribute to poverty alleviation and economic development in each country by providing opportunities for children at home and abroad who cannot receive education. In November 2016, based on the fund, the “General Incorporated Foundation Mynavi World Children’s Education Foundation” was established.
From its establishment until 2021, the Foundation provided educational support for underprivileged children in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, including the construction of school buildings (*) for educational institutions lacking adequate infrastructure and support for Japanese-language education, in cooperation with the local Ministry of Education and local non-commercial organizations
Currently, in Japan, the Foundation provides assistance to junior and senior high school students from families facing economic insecurity. This takes multiple forms that include food assistance (with “Helping Children Out! Mynavi Zaidan Shokuryo Boxes (Foundation Food Boxes)” distributed to a cumulative number of 3,023 individuals), the holding of online courses with part-time work and academic and career tracks as their theme, and the holding of events for children in collaboration with other organizations.
