Regarding environmental issues, we are striving to reduce and control energy consumption by using reusable materials such as glass bottles and P-boxes, recycling efforts such as color-coding waste glass and collecting cardboard, using electric forklifts and switching to LED lights.
As part of our efforts to raise awareness of the importance of proper drinking as a brewery, we participate in FM Osaka's SDD (STOP DRUNK DRIVING) project and promote a campaign to eradicate drunk driving. We are grateful for the support of the local community in our hometown of Uozaki, where we are able to brew sake, and as a contribution to the local community, we hold a brewery cleanup on the first Saturday of November every year. In addition, we regularly clean up the area around the company, and in the event of a disaster, we plan to open the Hananokigura as an evacuation site in the event of a tsunami, thereby helping to create a better place to live. We also cooperate in educational activities, such as accepting students every year for junior high school try-it-yourself weeks and technical college internships.
Through Food Bank Kansai, we also provide support for activities to eliminate food waste and poverty, and we will continue to contribute to local communities and enrich people through sake brewing, which is part of our corporate philosophy.
