Commitment to Public Policy and Active Engagement through Industry Associations
MatsukiyoCocokara & Co. views climate change as a significant risk to community sustainability. We are committed to achieving “net zero CO₂ emissions and 100% eco-friendly PB products by the fiscal year ending March 2051.” We recognize that reaching these long-term goals requires industry-wide and societal policy support, not only from individual companies.

As a key member of JACDS, we fully support its policy and engage in its decision-making processes by dispatching executives and, on behalf of the industry, actively collaborate and cooperate with national and local governments regarding public policies and regulatory measures.
Moving forward, our Group will continue to work closely with JACDS and its member companies to lead advocacy efforts regarding public policies aimed at realizing a decarbonized society, thereby fulfilling our social responsibilities as Asia’s No. 1 drugstore chain.
