Caring for the Earth
Contribution to local communities
As a food company, カジノ 日本 違法albee Group builds stronger bonds with stakeholders in the areas of the environment (nature’s gifts), food (flavor and fun), and health (healthy lifestyles), collaborating to maintain sustainable, abundant natural environments and thriving societies in communities and confront social problems such as relieving anxieties over people’s ability to live healthy, prosperous lives.
Main initiatives
Promotion of forest protection activities
カジノ 日本 違法albee Group relies heavily on potatoes, which are nature’s gift to us. Growing potatoes requires a large amount of water. カジノ 日本 違法albee Group engages in forest protection activities in カジノ 日本 違法albee Mina Mina Forest (Chitose, Hokkaido), Aichi Kaisho Forest (Seto, Aichi Prefecture), Calbee Shiga Konze Forest (Ritto, Shiga Prefecture), Calbee Tochigi Nature’s Gift Forest (Nasukarasuyama, Tochigi Prefecture), and Nature’s Gift Calbee Kappa Forest (Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture) with the aim of developing and maintaining sustainable water resources. Employees themselves perform the work, giving them an opportunity to be reminded of the goodness of nature and gain a fuller understanding of the responsibility involved in the use of precious groundwater. In 2023, the Group took part in a forestation project for disaster-stricken areas called the Miyagi Coastal Forest Regeneration Project (Calbee Forest) in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. In 2024, the Group also participated in the Hachioji Kamikawanosato, a project to maintain and promote the use of forests in Hachioji, Tokyo.

Supporting events everyone with or without disabilities can enjoy
We sponsor and volunteer at events such as Za Fitness®, which is an organized activity that people with or without disabilities can enjoy as well as SJE Marche, which provides opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities to be involved. We help people from diverse backgrounds interact with each other to create a community where they can lead more enriching lives.

Product donations to food banks and the Japan National Council of Social Welfare
カジノ 日本 違法albee Group works with food banks and the Japan National Council of Social Welfare to make effective use of its excess products. By doing so, we support people who are financially struggling, and also reduce food loss at the same time. We donated approximately 640,000 bags of our products in FY2023.
We also delivered Calbee products to those who were affected by the earthquake that struck the Noto Peninsula in January 2024.

Support for disaster-affected areas
In the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, approximately 1,800 children are speculated to have lost parent/s. The MICHINOKU Future Fund was established to help children who lost one or both of their parents in the disaster to enter universities or receive technical education. Calbee is one of カジノ 日本 違法ompanies which established the MICHINOKU Future Fund. Thanks to the tremendous support from the general public, donations to the MICHINOKU Scholarship Fund reached the target amount we needed for the future, so we stopped accepting new donations in February 2021. We will continue to offer help to scholarship recipients by organizing social functions and providing opportunities to meet the fund sponsors while they are in higher education.

Supporting the Japan Association for the World Food Programme (JAWFP) as a councilor
Calbee supports the activities of the Japan Association for the World Food Programme (JAWFP) and has been a JAWFP councilor since 2019. JAWFP is the official support desk in Japan for the World Food Programme (WFP) whose mission is to end hunger and poverty. In FY2023, we supported Walk the World and Gochisosama Challenge. We also made donations through our own AAO activities.

Calbee Forest 1 acquired in Borneo
The Malaysian island of Borneo is a major producer of palm oil, which is an essential ingredient for the production of snack products. Borneo Conservation Trust Japan (BCTJ) works to protect fragmented forests in Borneo, and we support its Green Corridor Project.
We have recently acquired approximately 1.4 ha of Calbee Forest 1.
