GenkiJACS Ethical Business Practices

 

GenkiJACS operates on the principle of treating customers and employees fairly, equally, and honestly. We strive to always be ethical, above and beyond what is required by law, in our business dealings.
To match this goal, in September of 2007 we converted the school to an NPO (Non-Profit Organization). This allows us to put all of the revenue generated by the school right back into our programs, without worrying about shareholders. It also hopefully allows you the customer to feel secure in booking with us! Finally, being an NPO helps us to expand our ties with local and national government entities, to provide more opportunities and better services for our students. For the record, our NPO registration number with Fukuoka Prefecture is 2900-05-004532.

The GenkiJACS Pledge:

We pledge to:

• provide all information requested or required, truthfully and completely, both before and after a student has applied;
• provide honest and fair comparative information on competitors if asked, or if we believe another school would serve your needs better;
• levy no hidden charges
• treat all students fairly and equally;
• not promise what we cannot provide;
• behave as a responsible member of the local and international business community.

We currently have the following policies and systems in place to facilitate this:

• Donation to charity
  Prior to becoming an NPO, 5% of our yearly net profit was donated to the UNICEF Children's Fund. We are currently evaluating how to best continue our charitable giving as an NPO. We are leaning towards a per-student contribution. So, a portion of each student's fees will go to charity. Please note that we will NOT raise your fees to pay for this - instead, we intend to make savings by optimizing our standard business practices, and donate the results of these savings to charity.
• Privacy policy
  This outlines our commitments to keeping your data private and secure.
