Tokan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; President and CEO: Yoshito Nagatsu; hereinafter referred to as Tokan) sponsored and participated in the charity walking event "WFP Walk the World 2026," organized by the Japan Association for the World Food Programme, held on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at Tsuruma Park in Nagoya.

The Nagoya venue, holding its 5th event, saw a total of 1,183 participants gather, despite the unfavorable rainy weather. Our employees and their families participated in this charity event wearing matching original T-shirts produced for the occasion. Furthermore, Mr. Hitoshi Iwase, former Chunichi Dragons player, appeared as a guest, filling the venue with smiles and cheers.

Our members, with smiles that blew away the rain and a remarkable sense of unity, enjoyed interacting locally and walking at their own pace, sharing their desire for international contribution.


■ Background of Sponsorship and Participation, and Our Company's Aspirations

As a "Company Creating Food Lifestyles," our mission is to deliver health and affluence to society. As a company dealing with "food," we deeply sympathize with the activities of the World Food Programme, which supports the resolution of global issues such as hunger and malnutrition, and provides educational opportunities for children suffering from prolonged poverty. This led us to sponsor and participate in this event.

A portion of the participation fees for this event will be donated and transformed into school lunches that support the future of children in developing countries. Tokan will continue to actively promote activities that contribute to local and international communities toward the realization of a sustainable society (SDGs).
