Installed security cameras at the public elementary and junior high schools in Nagareyama City, Chiba Prefecture for promoting the creation of a safe and secure community.

May 21, 2021

In September 2020, Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan signed an agreement with Nagareyama City in Chiba Prefecture to install vending machines in Nagareyama City Park in order to promote the creation of a safe and secure community.

Based on this agreement, we are working in collaboration with Nagareyama City to install security cameras at public elementary and junior high schools in the city using the profits expected from the proceeds of the vending machines installed in Nagareyama City Park as capital.

On April 27, 2021, we held a reporting ceremony to commemorate the completed installation of security cameras at 15 of the 26 public elementary and junior high schools in the city, including 13 schools that didn’t have any security cameras.

 

At the reporting ceremony, we discussed the promotion of community development in Nagareyama City. We will continue to work with Nagareyama City to promote initiatives that will improve the lives of its residents.

■The parks where we installed our vending machines

Higashi-Hatsuishi Green Area No. 2, Heiwadai Park No. 3, Ki Park No.1, Mukaikogane Park No.1, Mukaikogane Park No. 7 *Installations are scheduled for six other parks (eight units) from May 2021 onward

The vending machines we installed this time are “disaster support” vending machines designed to provide products free of charge in the event of a large-scale disaster.

Nagareyama City is conveniently located in the northwest part of Chiba Prefecture, about 20 minutes from the closest urban area using the Tsukuba Express Rapid train from Akihabara Station. It is a lush green city with many forests and parks, including the Ichinoya Forest where goshawks live. In recent years, Nagareyama City has been focused on providing child-rearing support and enhancing their educational environment. Currently, the majority of residents are in their 30s and 40s, and there are also many children, making the city a youthful and vibrant place.*Reference: Nagareyama City Website (Japanese)

We will continue to work together with Nagareyama City to create safe, secure communities and deliver moments of happiness and value to all of its residents.
