These donations, which will be used to advance the civil and
human rights of all Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, are part of a larger
social justice campaign and come from Sony's Global Social Justice Fund on
behalf of Sony Corporation and Sony's companies in the United States, including
Sony Music Entertainment, Sony Music Publishing, Sony Pictures Entertainment,
Sony Interactive Entertainment and Sony Electronics.
"Racial injustice is a global issue that affects us
all," said Kenichiro Yoshida, Chairman, President and CEO, Sony
Corporation. "Today I join together with the leaders of Sony's businesses
in the U.S. to denounce the appalling violence against the Asian American
community. As a company that cherishes diversity as one of our core values, we
are committed to the human rights of all people. Sony places great importance
on treating everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of race, gender,
sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs or physical ability. I stand
shoulder to shoulder with our group leaders to condemn this ongoing violence
and discrimination."
In June 2020, Sony Music Group led to the establishment of a
$100 million Global Social Justice Fund with the full support of all Sony Group
companies. This fund is used to support initiatives that promote social
justice, anti-racism initiatives and to foster diversity, equity and inclusion
both inside and outside of the company around the world.
