SINGAPORE, July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The impact of COVID-19 has been felt acutely across the world, within workplaces, and among individuals. In response, HULFT, a comprehensive data logistics platform, is proud to announce its first corporate giving program which will be managed through its parent company Saison Information Systems Co. Ltd. with regional offices structuring donations based on local communities that are at greatest risk.
Under the new program, the company will commit at least one percent of its annual operating profits to organizations that are fighting poverty, famine, and disease. Saison Information Systems, as well as its subsidiaries, will partner with global causes that are creating a positive change in the human condition.
Statement from Kazuhiro Uchida, President of Saison Information Systems:
"Our decision to establish this important initiative aligns with our mission statement to 'contribute to the near future society by accelerating innovation…' We firmly believe that part of our evolution as a 50-year-old global leader involves increasing our corporate giving. This pandemic has uncovered and magnified many structural and systemic problems and iniquities across all areas of society. Our board members and I agreed that it was time for Saison Information Systems to turn our values into action."
During this fiscal year beginning April, Saison Information Systems is honored to partner through donations with medical institutions and humanitarian aid organizations that are responding to COVID-19: Doctors Without Borders, United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), Japanese Red Cross Society, Masks for Heroes, United Way Bay Area (UWBA), Bethlehem House of Detroit, National Council of Social Services (Singapore), and to a medical non-profit organization in Thailand.
These donations will support local communities in three cities in Japan (Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka), the United Kingdom, Singapore, Thailand, China (Shanghai and Beijing) and the United States (San Francisco/Bay Area, and Detroit).
"Singapore has united to care for the vulnerable individuals and families affected by COVID-19." The Invictus Fund, in Singapore, will channel funds through Community Chest to enable over 80 social service agencies to continue delivering critical services to vulnerable groups in the community.
In Thailand, donations will help support the epidemic prevention project, the front-line medical workers, as well as the patients affected by the global pandemic.
