Other Contributions to Society

When the Great East Japan Earthquake struck in 2011, we used our Sendai central kitchen and stores in Miyagi Prefecture as bases to serve food to evacuation centers, and more than 500 Group employees from across Japan participated as volunteers. Even after the Great East Japan Earthquake, we have continued to provide support, such as providing meals to affected areas in the event of serious disasters. In response to natural disasters that occur every year in Japan and overseas, we conduct fund-raising activities at approximately 3,000 stores nationwide, and also make matching donations where the company donates the same amount as the amounts of donaions collected.

We accept work experience participants from local junior high schools and corporate training at our stores nationwide to deepen the level of our exchanges with local communities. We encourage the managers of each store to place importance on communication with local communities and actively participate in community activities, with the goal of coexisting harmoniously with local communities through our business activities.

Skylark Group not only provides delicious taste, safety, security and comfort through food, but also hopes to use this know-how to support children who will be responsible for shaping the future. As part of these efforts, we support the activities of the Japan Little League Baseball Association, and support the mental and physical growth of children by sponsoring them through sponsorship programs. As part of our local community contribution activities, we also deliver daily bento boxes from Gusto at special discounted prices to the NPOs Kawasaki Terakoya Shokudo and Terakoya Kodomo Shokudo Oji, to the delight of local children, parents and staff.
