Hokuriku area (50 participants)
Places cleaned: Seashore and the vicinity of stores in Ishikawa, Fukui and Toyama prefectures.
“I want our staff members to be individuals who take action.”
Initiated by Kohei Hamori, Supervisor
I think that, as good corporate citizens, we should engage in local cleanup activities. I want our staff members not only to think about what needs to be done, but also to act on their own initiative.
Anan Apika Store (33 participants)
Places cleaned: Kitanowaki Waterfront, Anan City, Tokushima Prefecture
“To root our company and stores in the community.”
Initiated by Taichi Suyari, Store Manager, Anan Apika Store
In the third year of our cleaning activities, the launch of the Regional Regular Employee Hiring System made me realize the importance of community-rooted activities and encouraging employees to participate in them more than ever. These activities make it possible for staff to take the initiative, for example by picking up litter left in the street.
Mie Area (40 participants)
Places cleaned: Waterfront, Gotenba, Mie Prefecture
“We want employees to care about their surroundings.”
Initiated by Riki Kato, Supervisor
We started clean-up activities to extend our awareness beyond the store. These activities resulted in improved teamwork within the store and equipped employees to embark on activities on their own initiative.
Tokyo Headquarters (57 participants)
Place cleaned: Around Kitanomaru Park, Chiyoda-ku
“We’re a global company, so it is very important to take action in our communities.”
Initiated by Tomohiro Shinohara, Deputy Store Manager, Tressa Yokohama Store
We asked employees at the Tokyo headquarters to volunteer to clean the area around Kitanomaru Park as a contribution to our community. One volunteer said that he felt good when he was thanked by a commuter, while another remarked that he felt refreshed to have some exercise early in the morning. It’s precisely because UNIQLO is a global company that it’s so important for us to engage in activities in our communities.
