Showing #appreciation and #gratitude to those who have contributed to who we are today is a important piece of the culture we strive for within the SoftBank Group.
 Once a year, the SoftBank Group dedicates a day to giving #thanks and remembering the benefactors who have helped the company get to where we are today. The SoftBank Group was initially founded from scratch, with no funding or customers, and was only able to get off the ground and grow through the support of various benefactors.
 That is why we annually dedicate one of the weekdays that falls within the ‘Golden Week’ of national holidays here in Japan as Benefactor Gratitude Day.
