We are also working to interact and communicate with local residents by providing opportunities in order for them to learn more about our company.

Yanai City Budokan / Contribution to Naming Rights

Yanai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is committed to supporting local youth education. In 2016, at the request of Yanai City in Yamaguchi Prefecture, we acquired the naming rights to a sports facility in the city. We named the facility “FUJIBO Yanai Kagaku Budokan.” The facility has become popular among members of the local community and has been widely used as a venue for the promotion of sports in the city.

Disaster Relief / Clothing Donation

The Fujibo Group donates underwear, which is a daily necessity, to assist people in areas affected by large-scale disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons and fires. Since December 2021, we have been a member of the Social Emergency Management Alliance (SEMA), which provides disaster relief in Japan through collaboration between private-sector companies and civil society organizations (CSOs). If there is a large-scale disaster, we will use the SEMA framework to supply men’s and women’s innerwear and underwear according to the needs of those in disaster-affected areas.
