Sony Establishes $100 Million COVID-19 Global Relief Fund

source: https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/202004/20-027E/

Tokyo, Japan - Sony Corporation today announced the establishment of the "Sony Global Relief Fund for COVID-19," a 100 million US dollar fund to support those around the world affected by the COVID-19 virus.

Through this fund, Sony will provide support in three areas: assistance for those individuals engaged in frontline medical and first responder efforts to fight the virus, support for children and educators who must now work remotely, and support for members of the creative community in the entertainment industry, which has been greatly impacted by the spread of the virus.

In terms of medical support, 10 million U.S. dollars of the fund will be devoted first to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO powered by the UN Foundation and Swiss Philanthropy Foundation, as well as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to assist medical workers and others on the frontline of response efforts to the virus. Sony will also work with its external partners to explore ways that it can support activities that prevent the further spread and contribute to treatment of the COVID-19 virus.

In the area of education, where children, who represent the next generation, are losing education opportunities as a result of school closures, Sony will explore ways to leverage its technologies in support of education activities, and cooperate with educators to implement these measures.

Furthermore, in terms of the creative community such as music, pictures, games and animation, together with its group companies engaged in the entertainment industry, Sony will seek ways to support up-and-coming creators, artists and all those in professions supporting the industry, who have been impacted by the cancellation or postponement of concerts and live events, or the shutting down of film and television productions.

Sony also announced that employees will be able to provide their support through a matching gift program that is scheduled to be offered to its approximately 110,000 employees worldwide.

Kenichiro Yoshida, President and CEO, Sony Corporation, said, "Sony extends its condolences to the families of those who have passed away as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, and extends its sympathies to all those who have been impacted. In order to overcome the unprecedented challenges that as a society we now face around the world, we will do all we can as a global company to support the individuals on the frontlines of the battle against COVID-19, the children who are our future, and those who have been impacted in the creative community."

Going forward, Sony will work together with its partners and stakeholders to explore ways to further extend these initiatives.

In peaceful times, all EU countries join hands and drinks together like abang adek ...

Only China lends a helping hands

You guys see what China did.. I am sure once covid-19 situation become better.. China will straight away have clear advantage due to their foresight and also have enough reserves to buy up huge amount of oil when oil price is very cheap now.. So confirmed China will go into lead and USA will be not be able to cast influence to the world as much as it is now..

I believe he is fired for leaking information of sailors contracting CONVID-19 to the media.  Just like leaking classified information under the OSA in Singapore.

Modly told reporters that Crozier was removed for showing "extremely poor judgment" and creating a "firestorm" by too widely disseminating the memo detailing his concerns, copying some 20 to 30 people.

He said Crozier was not removed because of any evidence suggesting he leaked the memo to the press, but rather for allowing "the complexity of his challenge with the Covid breakout on the ship to overwhelm his ability to act professionally when acting professionally was what was needed the most at the time."

I thought ppl understand chain of command.

20-30 people could be the team leads directly reporting to him. Number doesn't seem to me to be widely disseminating considering that the aircraft carrier has more than 4000 servicemen on board.

Also if u include the other ships in the fleet, then it would be considered even less. Having said that, I'm not sure if this commander is only in charge of the aircraft carrier or the whole plethora of ships.

Modly called Crozier's note "a blast-out email to everyone he knows."

He is just captain of USS Theodore Roosevelt, which is part of Carrier Strike Group 9.

There is commander of Carrier Strike Group 9

So that means sending 20-30 emails to a 4000+ group. U consider it widely disseminating? I don't.

"Modly called Crozier's note "a blast-out email to everyone he knows."

On one hand he says 20-30, on the other hand he says "a blast-out email to everyone he knows." 20-30 vs blasting out to everyone is a World of difference so which is which?
