transcosmos entered into Sapporo city in 1980. Today, the company provides CX services including contact centers and digital marketing and BPO services with approximately 6,100 members across 14 locations in the city. transcosmos strongly agrees with Sapporo city ’s policy – support persons with disabilities and carry forward initiatives to help promote such individuals in living independently. transcosmos made the donation to demonstrate the company ’s commitment to support Sapporo city government ’s initiatives in the community where many of its employees live and work, and to express its gratitude to the government for supporting its business over the years.

The donation to Sapporo city will be used for an advanced ICT skills training course for persons with disabilities working at private companies to help them acquire skills for creating corporate websites, programming, etc. under the Digital Transformation Project for Persons with Disabilities Reskilling Program, a job assistance program run by Sapporo city. Taking this opportunity, transcosmos co-creates services that promote the employment of persons with disabilities and ultimately contribute to the creation of a sustainable society.

The corporate version of furusato nozei is Japan ’s hometown tax donation system launched in the fiscal year 2016. The system is designed to enable companies to support local governments ’ regional revitalization efforts. With the system, corporate tax filers who make donations to approved regional donation plans will be able to claim a tax credit against corporate, enterprise, and inhabitants taxes in addition to taking a deduction from corporate tax. transcosmos has used the system and made donations to the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Memorial Museum – A Corridor of Memories, a museum in Kumamoto prefecture as well as to KUMAMOTO VOLTERS, the professional basketball team in the prefecture operated by Kumamoto Basketball Co., Ltd.

Committed to our purpose of expanding our social impact as a business and ultimately maximize the well-being of society as a whole through solving social challenges, we, transcosmos, are engaging in meaningful business activities to become a Sustainable Transformation (SX) Partner for all. Not only as its initiative to promote SDGs but also to show its sincere gratitude for employees and the municipalities where they live, transcosmos will continue to assist initiatives led by local governments by utilizing the corporate version of Japan ’s hometown tax donation program, the furusato nozei.
