I-NET Corp. positively works on social contribution activities to the local community such as job creation, co-sponsorship to local held events, support to cultural activities or disaster recovery assistance.
The INET Group considers it an important mission to support the realization of a society where people with disabilities can work in jobs suited to their abilities and aptitudes, just like those without disabilities, and lead independent lives. As part of this initiative, we established INET Data Service Co., Ltd. as a special subsidiary on April 1, 2009, and received official certification as a "Special Subsidiary Company" from the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare on August 3, 2009.
A Special Subsidiary is a subsidiary established by a company under the “Act on Promotion of Employment of Persons with Disabilities,” which provides special consideration for the working environment and conditions of employees with disabilities. It is officially certified by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare upon meeting certain criteria.
I-NET DATA SERVICE CORP. provides support so that individual employees with disabilities can become self-reliant on their own and take actions based on their ideas.
Self-reliance: Aim to become independent as a working adult on their own
Growth: Encourage growth through efforts to achieve their goals
Autonomy: Aim to take actions based on their ideas.
We take charge of IT-related services that are relatively standardized.
We will strive to expand our work field as an IT-related special subsidiary in the future to offer more work opportunities for disabled people.

Social contribution activities undertaken by local citizens are crucial for various social issues that are newly arising in recent years. Their activities are expected to fulfill social roles through more sound and sustainable deployment.
However, many organizations are reliant on the goodwill of individuals in general and have funding concerns for maintaining their activities. In light of these circumstances, we have established the foundation for the purpose of providing support and grants for organizations undertaking these activities.
Amid ongoing changes to the Japanese economic and social structures and financial foundations, the purpose of the foundation is to provide support and grants for or recognize and honor organizations undertaking those activities, in order to develop and sustain those activities more soundly and widely and promote public benefits in Kanagawa Prefecture, taking into account the importance of social contribution activities conducted by the citizens and activities that contribute to the promotion of benefit for the general public.
The foundation conducts projects to provide support and grants for or recognize and honor the sustainability and activities of organizations undertaking the following activities in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The foundation will conduct its annual activities using dividends from 250,000 shares of I-NET gifted by Ikeda (Founder of I-NET Corp. ) personally and I-NET Corp. as its funds.
I-NET has carried out a wide range of activities that contribute to society as a company thus far, but with the 50th anniversary of our founding approaching, we will contribute even more broadly to society through our foundation.
Using the open data of Yokohama City, "Working Moms Supporter" was launched as a childcare facility search engine website based on the opinions of I-NET Corp. employees who work while raising children.
In addition to the open data transmitted by Yokohama City, we independently collect, mashup, and present more detailed information required by parents when choosing a childcare facility. In doing so, we aim for the extensive dissemination of information in the internet community and improving the convenience of internet searches. The website is "easy to understand," "easy to search," and "has lots of information" for parents looking for childcare facilities.
In addition, I-NET Corp operates this website as part of our CSR promotion activities.

Every year, we hold a food drive in which employees bring in food that they cannot consume at home and donate it to food banks and other organizations.
This activity raises awareness among employees about reducing food loss and contributes to the creation of a society that leaves no one behind, which is one of the SDGs.
We actively encourage volunteer activities that give employees opportunities to encounter new values and engage with society in a multi-faceted way. We have established a special paid leave system called Volunteer Leave as a support system for this.
We support the “EX Community Project” run by the B3 Yokohama Excellence professional basketball club, which is based in Yokohama City. Sport has the power to positively influence many children and society.
We hope to work with local communities through this program to share the amazing value of sport.
As part of our social contribution activities, we welcomed three junior high school students from Hasunuma Junior High School in Ota City, Tokyo, to visit the Company.
They were learning about the SDGs at school, and visited the Company as an extracurricular activity because they were interested in its ESG and social contribution initiatives.
On the day of the visit, the students gave a presentation on their research and thoughts concerning SDG 9 “Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure,” and we presented the Company’s profile, business activities, and efforts to achieve the SDGs.
These presentations were followed by a Q&A session on building infrastructure for disasters and our initiatives related to SDG Goal 9. To conclude, the students were given a tour of the Company’s headquarters.
Through activities such as this, we will continue to engage in providing educational support for children: the leaders of the future.
As part of our social contribution, we conducted a company tour of our headquarters, inviting families with children in elementary schools in the Kamiyabe area. The participants learned about our company through an introduction to our company overview and services, and a tour of our offices. The tour was highly praised by the participants, with comments such as "They all seem to be enjoying work."
I-NET has participated in "The challenge-YOKOHAMA" project sponsored by Yokohama City Economic Affairs Bureau. The purpose of this project is to provide more opportunities for the future success of children with disabilities by having them experience "work" in the real world, so that they deepen their understanding of work and become more socially independent. I-NET joined the project with the hope of contributing to the future of local children. As the first company to participate in the project, we had 8 students from schools for special needs education experience "printing and mail preparation" as well as "sorting" in the Mailing Services Division. The students participating in the training enjoyed their experience, cheering excitedly when the piece of mail they had made instantly turned into a finished envelope in a mail inserter (a machine that automatically stuffs a piece of mail into an envelope and seals it) and marveling at how distribution mistakes are prevented through double checking with human eyes and barcodes when experiencing sorting work.
