Corporate Social Responsibility

Who We Are

Building upon Daiwa Securities Group Inc.’s corporate principles, DCMA recognizes its mission is to contribute to the development of society and the economy through its daily operations. This is essential to the success of our mission and sustainable growth with society — deepening the bond of trust we have with our stakeholders, customers, shareholders, employees, and communities.

DCMA supports the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) adopted by the United Nations in 2015. We also partner with stakeholders to identify and integrate environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) principles into operations and business activities. ESG & SDGs are an essential concerted effort to make the world a better place to live.

We believe environmental preservation is necessary for both promoting prosperity and protecting the planet. We also believe that ending poverty must be coupled with strategies that build economic growth and address social needs.

The sustainable development of society is beneficial to our future survival as well as our business activities. We take an active approach by ensuring our overall mission aligns with social standards and corporate expectations, which will increase awareness of SDGs and ESG principles among our stakeholders.

Community Engagement – DCMA Gives Back

DCMA has a long history of supporting our local communities. To further our commitment to the UN SDG Goals & ESG principles, DCMA established a Corporate Giving & Volunteer Program called “DCMA Gives Back”.

“DCMA Gives Back” helps us respond to local needs in the US through skills-based and hands-on volunteer activities, donation drives, corporate sponsorship, and charitable donations.

Japan Day

DCMA is a proud corporate sponsor of Japan Day. Japan Day @ Central Park is an annual event organized by the Japanese community of New York to promote a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and to say “Thank you, New York!” Since 2007, Japan Day @ Central Park has quickly become a tradition that has captured the interest of New Yorkers.
