Main Initiatives Co-created and Collaborated with Tsurugashima City

Strengthening Supply of Daily Necessities during Disasters and Disaster Prevention Collaboration during Peacetime

Based on the "Agreement on Cooperation for the Supply of Daily Necessities during Disasters" concluded in 2012, in the event of a disaster, CAINZ will supply daily necessities and work supplies from its logistics warehouses and stores upon request from Tsurugashima City. Concurrently, CAINZ is working to enhance the region's disaster preparedness through cooperation in peacetime disaster prevention measures.

Support for Heatstroke Prevention and Health Promotion Utilizing Stores

In recent years, extreme heat has become a serious risk comparable to disasters, and the importance of heatstroke prevention measures is increasing. The Tsurugashima store plans to make its in-store food court available as a "cooling shelter" for citizens to spend time safely during business hours. Additionally, utilizing store space, CAINZ plans to hold health-related events and workshops to support citizens' health promotion efforts.
