Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc.
Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc. (Headquarters in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & President Calin Dragan; hereafter “CCBJI”) launched "Sawayaka Style Part 2", an initiative for the CCBJI Group health management.
CCBJI is working on to create a comfortable workplace for the employees, and implemented 3 initiatives in this April as part of "Sawayaka Style". In the "Sawayaka Style Part 2", CCBJI will implement an additional new program called "Sawayaka Challenge!!" This is a program intended for the employees with the aim of promoting each employee's self-sustaining health maintenance and enhancement through the unity of the company and the health insurance association under the concept that the employees themselves must be healthy to provide valuable product services that suit the needs and preferences of a broad range of generations, putting the top priority on health.
First, to promote exercise, we will implement the "Sawayaka Walk 2019" (Walking Event), an event utilizing the official Coca-Cola app "Coke ON" and the "Program to Promote Smoking Cessation".
Though maintenance and enhancement of employees' health with "Sawayaka Challenge!!", CCBJI will continue to come close to the people’s lives and daily livings, and consistently provide high quality services and added value as a total beverage company that delivers happy, refreshing moments every day, and in every occasion of their lives.

About "Coke ON"
"Coke ON" is the official Coca-Cola smartphone app which is beneficial and convenient. Users can get a drink ticket worth one bottle of drink when collecting 15 stamps. The drink ticket can be exchanged with one bottle of Coca-Cola product, where the customer can choose a product they like. As of October 1, 2019, the number of downloads recorded over 16 million, and the app can be used in 330,000 compatible vending machines across the country.
Stamps can be obtained by purchasing one product from a "Coke ON" compatible vending machine, and through many other ways including; by achieving pre-set target number of steps for a week, achieving the total target number of steps, or participating in app-limited campaigns.
Since the service was started in April 2016, we have been delivering the pleasure of drinking experience and the fun of "Coke ON" through sampling of products and by adding the "Coke On Walk" function, in which stamps are collected by walking. And, to expand the customers' range of selection in purchasing products, we have introduced the cashless payment functions "Coke ON Pay" and "Coke ON IC" sequentially. In June 2019, the new function "Coke On Camera" was added, allowing us to deliver more enjoyable services and functions.
