Apocreat Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Apocreat"), which operates primarily in the pharmacy business under the names "Island Pharmacy" and "Pharmacy Apoc," donates the proceeds from plastic shopping bags sold at its stores following the introduction of charges for such bags as part of its social contribution activities. Since the 2020 fiscal year, they have supported our association's environmental education and awareness-raising program for children nationwide, the "Kodomo Eco Club," and have continued to provide ongoing support.

We have now received a donation from the 2025 fiscal year's plastic bag proceeds, continuing their support to date.

Apocreat's Website: https://www.apocreat.co.jp/news/%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B8%E8%A2%8B%E5%8F%8E%E7%9B%8A%E9%87%91%E3%81%AE%E3%81%AF%E5%AF%84%E4%BB%98%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A4%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6-3/

This donation will be utilized for the development and provision of environmental programs for children, as well as to enhance support for clubs that are actively engaged in environmental conservation activities on a daily basis and to promote the program. We aim to foster children who possess a heart that values the environment, the power to take action, and the ability to create the future.

Furthermore, through this project, we will contribute to the achievement of the SDGs by enhancing the environmental conservation capabilities of the entire region and promoting the creation of a sustainable society and community.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone at Apocreat Co., Ltd. and to all the customers who used their pharmacies. Thank you very much.
