DyDo Group Environmental Month

At DyDo Group, with the aim of raising environmental awareness and strengthening our efforts, we have designated every June as the “DyDo Group Environmental Month”.

<Main Activities>
·We regularly conduct cleaning activities, and by synchronizing the timing of these activities across the entire group, we work on beatification activities in the area around our office, factories and so on.
Through these activities, our aim is not only to contribute to the beatification and preservation of the environment in the region, but also to raise the awareness of each employee as a member of the local community and cultivate the spirit of “Creating happiness and prosperity, together with people and with society”.
·CRUSH YOUR BOTTLE is an initiative to crush PET bottles as much as possible after they have been consumed.
·Separate PET bottle is an initiative to separate PET bottles into three parts – the PET bottle, the cap, and the label – when disposing of them.

Forest Preservation Activities

In 2003, to protect woodlands that are such an important absorber of carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate global warming, DyDo DRINCO signed an agreement to "adopt" a forested area in Asahi Village, Higashichikuma District, Nagano Prefecture. We work to maintain this woodland area and promote good community ties as a key to passing on a rich natural environment to the next generation. Toward this end we invite local residents to craft-making classes using thinned timber from the forest and also offer Vending Machines Experience Workshop.

These activities began in 2003 in Nagano Prefecture with the first adopt-a-forest project, when DyDo DRINCO and Asahi Village entered into an adoptive relationship. A "Forest Maintenance Corps" from the Chubu Daiichi Sales Department comes to prune trees and clear branches near the Asahi Prime Ski Grounds. Not only that, they also invite local residents, including parents and children, to attend workshops where they teach how to make handicrafts from the timber that they have gathered. We are very grateful for the bonds that we have formed. In 2014, participants made a new signboard that reads "DyDo DRINCO Prime Forest," which I feel has further deepened our mutual ties. We look forward to continuing working together to protect our land, fight climate change, and cultivate a healthy, valuable forest that will produce pure, delicious drinking water.

Local Clean-Up Activities

DyDo DRINCO’s vending machines are located all over Japan and our beverages are purchased by customers in every region. As part of the contribution that we can make to local communities, we plan to participate as much as possible in clean-ups and similar activities.

Local Clean-Up Activities

DyDo DRINCO TURKEY (DDT), which sells soft drinks in Turkey, participates in a global social action program (WORLD CLEANUP DAY) and conducts cleanup activities in Turkey and the United Kingdom as part of making the world a cleaner and more comfortable place to live.

Local Clean-Up Activities

DAIDO Pharmaceutical treats and purifies underground water for use at its factory from the nearby Katsuragi mountain range. Protecting the natural environment that gives rise to this high-quality water is an important management issue for us. Since March 2013 we have participated in volunteer clean-up activities that aim to restore the clear waters of the Katsuragi River. Our ongoing participation facilitates good communication with the local community and contributes to environmental conservation.

The rich natural environment is the source of the delicious taste of Tarami's fruit jellies, and in order to continue to coexist with such nature, our employees are taking the initiative in environmental conservation activities.
