ABOUT a-mark

FROM ART & CULTURE TO SUSTAINABLE ASSETS

a-mark is a mark that represents a company’s commitment to supporting arts and culture.
It communicates that engagement to society and symbolizes an intention that carries cultural value forward to the next generation.

a-mark is awarded through the following forms of engagement

There is no single definition of “support.”
a-mark is granted based on a sustained attitude of engagement and continuity.

1

Ongoing Support for Arts & Culture

Rather than one-off initiatives, we value a continuous commitment to engaging with culture and artistic expression over time.

2

Participation in Artistic Projects

We value active involvement in projects through diverse roles such as planning, creation, collaboration, and communication.

3

Supporting People, Expression, and Places

We value efforts to build and sustain environments where artists, culture, and creative activities can continue to thrive.

4

Expressing a Commitment to Arts and Culture

We value the sincere communication of a company’s stance and initiatives toward arts and culture to society at large.

The Intention Behind a-mark

a-mark was created under the philosophy of “Legacy of Art & Culture.”
It was born from the belief that supporting art and culture should not be reduced to temporary initiatives or symbolic gestures, but should remain within society as a lasting and genuine intention.

The motif placed at the center represents creativity nurtured through the support of others.
Each individual act of engagement may be small, but when they accumulate and connect over time, culture is carried forward beyond generations.

a-mark is not a measure of achievement or scale.
Rather, it is a quiet sign that reflects how a company has chosen to engage with art and culture—
the distance it has kept, the care it has shown, and the continuity of its involvement.

We hope this mark will inscribe the presence of companies that stand alongside culture into society,
and that their intentions will, in turn, become a force that supports the culture of the future.

Turning Cultural Engagement into a Corporate Asset

Through a-mark, a company’s attitude and initiatives toward art and culture can be preserved in society as cultural value.
There is no single correct form of engagement.
