E-fran Children's Cafeteria Goes Beyond Borders

Our support is not limited to Japan but also extends to international social contribution activities. In Cebu, Philippines, we are regularly holding support activities to distribute 100 handmade meals once a week in strong cooperation with local staff.

We are exploring what support we can provide in the face of the harsh realities behind the glamour of resort areas and are promoting comprehensive activities both domestically and internationally as part of our efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We value our commitment to sincerely address global issues, not just pursue profits as a company.

| Towards a Sustainable Future Walking with the Local Community

In the operation of our core business, "High-Price Purchase Otakaraya," we have contributed to the realization of a circular economy through our reuse business, developing over 1,870 stores nationwide, the largest in the industry (as of July 2026). Based on the belief that business growth and social contribution activities should go hand in hand, we have established a system where each employee can take an interest in social issues and voluntarily participate in volunteer activities.

As each of our businesses, including "High-Price Purchase Otakaraya," continues to grow, we believe it is our responsibility to return the results to the local community. We will continue to expand the scope of our activities with the aim of protecting the bright smiles of children and growing together with the local community.
