The corporate mission of D-POPS GROUP is to multiply the number of growth companies (so-called “unicorn companies”) that will revolutionize society. By doing so, we aim to increase the number of growth companies that can contribute to society and help to build a better world.

Our group utilized the corporate version of Japan’s so-called “Furusato Nozei”* to donate a total of 6 million yen to the town of Higashikawa in Hokkaido. This donation will be used to support projects that raise social awareness of child abuse and aim to prevent it.
*This is a system that allows part of one’s residential tax to be directed toward a specific local government, in order to reduce one’s tax burden by a certain amount.
