Disaster relief activities
In the event of a major or wide-area disaster, the AEON delight Group establishes a task force immediately after the disaster strikes and engages in relief support activities. Utilizing our nationwide network of service bases and networks within and outside the AEON delight Group, we restore damaged facilities, dispatch support personnel, coordinate with relevant government agencies (fire departments, police departments, waterworks bureaus, etc.), and procure disaster relief materials, equipment, and supplies.
Volunteer activities
As part of Aeon Day on the 11th of each month, the Aeon Group organizes Clean & Green Activities consisting of collecting garbage on sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and underground crosswalks, and cleaning up tree planting strips, mainly on national roads around its stores. The AEON delight Group also carries out Clean & Green Activities at its offices and other locations, in addition to the Aeon Group stores where our employees work. We also use the Aeon Social Welfare Fund, which was established to promote the participation of people with disabilities in social activities and improve the welfare of the disabled, to continue volunteer activities at social welfare facilities at the end of each year.
In addition, the Aeon Heartful Volunteers have started ocean waste cleanup volunteer activities in FY2022.
