Social contribution

Since its foundation, Maruhan has been actively committed to making social contributions in a variety of ways. The Maruhan staff spontaneously participates in volunteer activities in its neighborhood regions. We also sponsor sports events, offer cultural support, make financial donations and hold various charity events. We strongly believe our company has a social responsibility to return its profits obtained through business activities back into society. We also strongly believe that the great benefits we accrue through volunteer activities as well as supporting sports and culture are priceless.
