Ryobi Enesys Co., Ltd. has donated a total of 8,152 bottles of 500ml 'Enamis 7-Year Storage Water®'—previously stored as emergency supplies—to five local social welfare councils and welfare facilities in Okayama Prefecture between April and May 2026, as part of its efforts toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This second round of donations was launched in response to overwhelmingly positive feedback from the first campaign (held from December 2025 to January 2026), where welfare providers expressed deep appreciation, stating, 'Donations of drinking water are incredibly valuable and truly appreciated.' The initiative aims to further support local welfare operations.

■ Background and Purpose: Ongoing Circulation of Local Resources

While emergency supplies in companies require regular rotation, outdated items are often discarded. Under the Ryobi Group’s management philosophy of 'Chujyo' (benevolence and sincere empathy), Ryobi Enesys, as a company that supports 'energy and daily life,' actively promotes the reuse of disaster preparedness supplies as community resources.

The 'Enamis' water donated this time is high-quality natural water from Kaneshi-cho, Hamada City, Shimane Prefecture. It can be consumed directly as drinking water and also meets the need for 'safe and delicious water' in welfare settings—such as cooking in children’s cafeterias or hydration for facility users.

The company hopes this second round will also be widely utilized across various local support services.

By redirecting water carefully stored for disasters toward everyday community support, Ryobi Enesys contributes to reducing food waste and enhancing regional welfare—advancing SDG Target 3 ('Good Health and Well-being') and Target 12 ('Responsible Consumption and Production').
