■About AC Japan
AC Japan was established in 1971 as the Kansai Public Advertising Organization. It became the Public Advertising Organization in 1974 and changed its name to AC Japan in 2009. It is a private organization that aims to contribute to society and public welfare by disseminating messages deemed beneficial to society, such as "public manners" and "environmental issues," through various advertising formats. Its activities are funded by membership fees from approximately 1,000 member companies and individual members.
Its most distinctive operational features are the free provision of advertising space by member media outlets and the contribution of creative ideas by member advertising agencies. Recognized for the high public benefit of its volunteer activities involving numerous private companies nationwide, it became a Public Interest Incorporated Association in 2011.
