Social Contribution Activities with Customers
Operating companies in the Group including Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores and Parco are engaged in social contribution activities with customers in collaboration with NPOs and external institutions.
Pink Ribbon Campaign
Daimaru, Matsuzakaya, Parco, and JFR Card are involved in the Pink Ribbon Campaign, an awareness
campaign to promote the early diagnosis, detection, and treatment of breast cancer.
The activities of Daimaru and Matsuzakaya Stores focus on Pink Ribbon Month (October). Donations collected from customers during this period are donated to local NPOs that support activities to raise awareness about breast cancer screening.

Table for Two
In support of the activities of TABLE FOR TWO International (TFT), a certified NPO that helps
feed children in developing countries, Daimaru and Matsuzakaya stores hold the TABLE FOR TWO Fair twice a year.
During this period, each participating restaurant offers a charity menu and donates a portion of
the sales. Online and in-store donations are also available.

Support for Affected Areas
The Group has been donating relief funds to support the recovery of areas affected by natural disasters,
which have become increasingly large-scale in recent years. To ensure that donations can be made promptly and fairly in emergency situations caused by sudden disasters, we felt it necessary to formulate new donation guidelines. After much discussions
at the Group Management Meeting and the Board of Directors, we formulated “The JFR Group Donation
Guidelines” in October 2018. The guidelines enable prompt donations to the affected areas.
Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores raises money in each store. In addition, we support the affected areas
through our core department store business, for example, by actively holding exhibitions of the local products of the
disaster-stricken areas.
