The RACCOON Group understands the importance of connecting with people in communities/society as a member. We work for growth and task solutions of the communities/society by supporting the employees’ social engagement activities.

Volunteering

Volunteer Support Program

This program supports the social contribution activities of the RACCOON Group’s members, like volunteering. If members have activities they would like to undertake, they can receive support if they share the details inside the company and recruit others to join. This support includes assistance with transportation and accommodation costs as well as up to five paid vacation days a year for volunteering on weekdays.
In this way, we support employee contributions to their communities and society by giving those with no volunteer experience the chance to try it and making it easy for those already active to take it further.
