- Sporting Activities
- Rakuten actively promotes sports as activities that provide excitement and enrich people both physically and mentally.We want to help convey the vitality and entertainment value of sports to even more people and help enrich society that much more.
- Staff volunteer activities in the disaster zone
- Rakuten lends its support to voluntary action for two purposes. The first is to bring as many of our staff as possible to see the disaster-affected areas with their own eyes, to feel the situation there for themselves and to pass on information. The second purpose is so that this volunteering experience serves as an opportunity for Rakuten Group to continuously think about what kind of contribution it can make through its main business.
