The number of people infected with Covid-19 in Japan has not yet decreased, and we must stay alert to ongoing situations. However, it is the efforts of the healthcare professionals working hard on the front line even at this very moment, that allow us to stay healthy and prevent the further spread of infections. To express our support and gratitude, we decided to take this approach of donating our products.
Under the corporate philosophy, "Paint it RED! Mirai o nurikaero", we will continue to strive for our mission to "deliver happy moments to everyone while creating value" by working with various partners to address community challenges.
