Policy & Approach
As part of the Group’s social contribution activities—which are one of a company’s obligations—Prestige International has long been carrying out initiatives to enrich the local community. Through our establishment of BPO centers, beginning with the Tohoku region, the Group is continuously working to provide environments in regional areas where young people and women can play active roles with peace of mind over the long term and achieve community invigoration.

Prestige International presents
TGC TOYAMA 2019 by TOKYO GIRLS COLLECTION
Held under the theme of “Bringing Japanese girls’ culture to the world,“ the Tokyo Girls’ Collection (TGC) is the largest fashion festival in Japan. Since 2009, this festival has also been held in regional cities as a regional revitalization project. Because TGC’s philosophy matches the goal of promoting women’s empowerment and invigorating communities and the Group feels that the event has the potential of realizing further community invigoration, Prestige International sponsored the first TGC event to be held in the Hokuriku region, “Prestige International presents TGC Toyama 2018 by Tokyo Girls’ Collection,” in 2018, and the second held in the region, “Prestige International presents TGC Toyama 2019 by Tokyo Girls’ Collection,” in 2019 as a Platinum Partner. Over the two years, the event attracted around 14,350 visitors in total, promoting Toyama Prefecture as a region that is appealing for young people and women—a place where they can fulfill their dreams and shine.

2026 – Akira BPO Katagami Campus (Provisional name)
For a long time, Prestige International had more than 2,000 employees at three bases within Akita Prefecture. However, because the region’s attractiveness and value are becoming known and praised by customers due to the services, it was decided to establish a fourth Akita base in Katagami City, and a location agreement signing ceremony was held with Akita Prefecture and Katagami City in April 2022. Under the concept of “Bringing prosperity to the region’s future,” the Group is planning a base that will be the culmination of the existing bases in the region.
