As we expand our business activities, we recognize that it is essential for us to reduce the environmental impact on communities and to achieve coexistence and co-prosperity through social and economic contributions. As such, we have identified “communities” as one of our material issues. We sponsor events in collaboration with local governments and work to promote understanding of resource recycling.
Group company Osaka Paperware, which designs, manufactures, and sells packaging materials and paper products, sponsors the Takatsuki Jazz Street and Tonda Jazz Street music events held in Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture, where the company is headquartered. It also produces and provides cardboard products for the events. For Takatsuki Jazz Street, the signboard for the T-shirt booth was made of cardboard, while for Tonda Jazz Street, the company was again asked to make a containerboard sculpture and festival decorations, as the ones it previously made were well-received. In addition, the company has produced cardboard rugby balls, which were distributed at various events. These community-based activities not only help build good relationships with local residents but contribute to community development.
