(Headquarters: Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, President and CEO: Shigeyuki Kamata) will implement “Christmas gift support” for employees and contract employees who are raising children as single parents. The number of single-mother households (single mothers) and single-father households (single fathers) raising children as single parents has been increasing year by year, from approximately 720,000 households in 2020 to approximately 850,000 households in 2021. Mas*1. Furthermore, given the impact of recent price increases on daily life, it is predicted that single-parent households will be in a difficult situation in terms of living and finances. Based on this background, and with the desire to support single mothers and fathers working at Saint-Marc Cafe, we have decided to implement “Christmas Gift Support,” which provides a flat payment for the cost of purchasing Christmas gifts for children.

At Saint-Marc Cafe, we carry out a variety of CSR activities with the vision of being the No. 1 Bakery Cafe that is respected and admired. In recent years, the issue of poverty has been raised in Japan due to rising prices and declining real wages due to inflation, and single-parent households are facing particularly difficult conditions. At this time, I saw a report in the media about a mother in a single-parent household crying because she had no money and was unable to buy Christmas presents for her children. As someone who grew up in a single-parent household myself and who knows the harsh environment of single-parent households, I believe that we should not make our partners (employees) feel that way, so we are offering “Christmas gift support” to single-parent households. We have come up with this initiative. We hope that this kind of initiative will not only be limited to our company, but will help spread throughout society. Target audience Employees and social insurance partners (contract employees) who meet all of the following conditions ・Persons raising children as a single parent ・Persons who support young dependents (under 16 years of age and born on or after January 2, 2008) ・Person who has been employed for more than 1 year Payment amount 5,000 yen per minor dependent Payment period Salary payment date that will be paid just before Christmas in 2024 ・Employees: Payment on November 28, 2024 (November salary) ・Partner with social insurance (contract employee): Payment on December 10, 2024 (December salary) About Saint Marc Cafe
