Contribute to the prosperity of our society and the future of the Earth
Addressing global environmental issues including weather disasters due to climate change and the loss of natural capital is an urgent challenge for corporate management. For the next generations, it will also be more necessary for financial institutions to work to develop new financial literacy among the public, about such things as electronic payments and digital currencies, in addition to preventing financial crimes and frauds.
To hand over the future of the Earth and society to future generations, we, as a corporate citizen and a financial institution, will work on solutions to various issues that will allow companies, our society, and the planet to be sustainable.

Through a classroom education program called SENSEI Yononakagaku, provided by ARROWS Inc., we provide elementary school students with financial education materials, which are used in about 300 schools.
Furthermore, as there have been increasing instances of minors being involved in illegal account trading, we are collaborating with the police to elevate awareness by sending Seven Bank employees to junior high and high schools.
The Seven Bank Group has set to “contribute to the prosperity of our society and the future of the Earth” as one of its five material issues, and considers responses to climate change to be one of its most important management issues. The Seven Bank Group expressed an endorsement of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in 2021. In 2023, we conducted a scenario analysis to measure the impact of climate change on our business activities and revenues in the ATM platform business, which is our core business, which identified risks and opportunities from climate change and estimated the financial impact. Responding to the potential impact of climate change risks and opportunities and taking specific measures, the entire Group will take various initiatives aimed at realizing a decarbonized society.
We are working to reduce the environmental impact of our ATMs by promoting their reuse and recycling, and by reducing CO2 emissions during cash transport. In developing our fourth-generation ATMs, we reduced power consumption and CO2 emissions compared to the previous third generation. For more details, please see the environmental page.
We provide a service where customers can make donations to organizations addressing social issues at Seven Bank ATMs.
We have made the fund-raising service permanently available for five organizations as well as emergency fund-raising in case of major disasters.
Since 2010, Seven Bank has sponsored Radio Charity Musicthon, a charity campaign organized by Nippon Broadcasting System for installing audible traffic signals so that people with visual impairments can cross streets with peace of mind.
The nanaco point donation program allows customers to donate their nanaco points. Donations from customers are converted at a rate of 1 point equals 1 yen.
