Tohoku Reconstruction Support

We would like to express our condolences to those who lost their precious lives in the Great East Japan Earthquake, and our deepest sympathy to all those affected by the disaster.
The Sapporo Group's "Tohoku Future Project" has been carrying out various reconstruction support activities in cooperation with all Group companies under the key themes of "promoting consumption of local products," "information dissemination," and "nurturing of the next generation." We will continue to carry out activities for the future through the business activities of the Group companies, together with the people in the affected areas, with a united desire to "never forget the earthquake disaster."
