MUFG; Activities of MUFG Employees | Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group

To encourage employees who are motivated to contribute to society, each group company has introduced a system for participating in volunteer and donation activities.

MUFG SOUL -Turning Passion into Power for Society-

MUFG provides financial support for activities for ideas designed by our executives and employees for resolving social issues. In FY 2024, approximately 5,700 people participated in Japan, turning around 370 ideas into reality. Additionally, about 4,100 employees at 35 MUFG locations overseas also took part in social contribution activities.

We will continue to contribute to solving a wide range of social issues by our executives and employees, taking concrete actions by starting from the social issues that are close to them. This includes, for example, activities and support for children's cafeterias that provide free or inexpensive meals to children in need, support for orphanages, and community revitalization activities.

Global Volunteer Month "MUFG Gives Back"

Since the establishment of Global Volunteer Month in 2013, MUFG employees all over the world have been working together on social contribution activities. In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake, Japan was blessed with support from across the world for its reconstruction efforts. In response, and as an opportunity to express gratitude for the support Japan received, we have named these initiatives "MUFG Gives Back", and we continue to expand our activities each year. Such activities where our employees work together on a global scale are opportunities for our employees in different regions and bases around the world to experience the significance of social contribution activities. In FY 2024, we implemented the Christmas Card Project in Japan. Over 2,000 Christmas cards created by MUFG employees were delivered to children in pediatric wards at hospitals or receiving treatment at home nationwide through CliniClowns Japan, a certified NPO.

Participation in FIT For Charity Run

MUFG participates in the FIT^note For Charity Run organized as a volunteer charity event by employees at companies involved in the financial services industry. The participation fees paid by the employees and cooperation fees provided by the companies of participating runners are donated in support of organizations that have roots in the community and implement socially significant activities but are unable to secure funding to support their activities due to lack of recognition and other problems.

MUFG has been participating in the event since the fifth run in 2009. In 2024, about 800 employees from 27 group companies took part in the 20th run.
