Providing support to Florence, a non-profit organization as part of WingArc1st's social contribution activities - Donations of Business Intelligence products "Dr.Sum" and "MotionBoard" -
24 June 2019 https://www.wingarc.com/public/201906/news1153.html
As part of its social contribution activities, WingArc1st donated Dr.Sum, an aggregation and analysis platform, and MotionBoard, a Business Intelligence Dashboard, to Florence, a not-for-profit organization based in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo and led by Hiroki Komazaki.
Florence's mission to "solve social issues that interfere with the happiness of parents and children". Since 2004, it has been engaged in a number of projects, including "childcare for sick children", "childcare for children with disabilities", "small-sized daycare services" and "adoption projects" with its staff of around 600 people.
Florence provides examples of how to solve societal problems and makes policy recommendations in order to balance work and child-rearing, and how best to nurture children who will be the future leaders of society. WingArc1st has supported Florence with a donation in the hope that it would aid Florence in its activities.
WingArc1st seeks to live up to its reputation as "The Data Empowerment Company" and we are working on our social contribution program (the "WingArc Empowerment Program") as part of our efforts to achieve global Sustainable Development Goals.

Comments from organizations that have received donations through the Chohyo ClimateSmart WorkStyles program
- The support provided through this program is so impactful, as it can support the delivery of food and daily necessities to approximately 65 economically disadvantaged households per year. We connect with households by delivering food and daily necessities, and through these interactions, build relationships with them. We listen to each household's specific challenges and connect them with the necessary support.
- We use the donations to provide interactive activities for children. These activities are for children who face the issue of the so-called "experience gap", in other words, those who lack the opportunities to develop themselves through experiences such as family trips and school events. We provide interactive activities that allow these children to take a step into the outside world and deepen their self-awareness. Specifically, we planned and carried out graduation trips and seasonal events. The goal was for children to discover their interests and potential through various experiences, such as and helping them realizing what they've always loved doing jobs they'd like to try.
- We use the donations for public relations activities that disseminate information about the issues we address and raise awareness of our organization, as well as toward hosting symposiums and seminars.
