Report

On Saturday, July 6, 2024, the "41st Kashima City Beach Cleanup" was held at Tsunoore Beach in Kashima City. We participated as part of our philosophy sponsorship activities (*) with companies affiliated with the ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB. At this time of year, with the swimming season approaching, citizens, organizations, companies, and the administration worked together to clean the beach, aiming to create beautiful beaches. Through the work of collecting and sorting non-biodegradable waste, we confronted the problem of marine debris, including the large amount of plastic waste drifting in the sea. As the Meiji Yasuda J1 League Matchday 22 against Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo was held on the same day, club staff handled the event with a small number of people due to match preparations. We gathered at Hamanasu Park No. 2 parking lot, where our club manager, Okamoto, first greeted all participants.

After moving to the beach, Kashima City Vice Mayor Kuribayashi also joined us, and we took a group photo with all the participants.

A total of 49 people participated, including Business Club members and Antlers employees. [Participating Companies]
RM To-Cello Co., Ltd. / Ibaraki Co-op / Ale Create Co., Ltd. / Joyo Bank, Ltd. / Mishima Kosan Co., Ltd. / Rokko A.R.Q.C. Co., Ltd. There were many plastic and glass fragments on the beach. We carefully collected and sorted even the smallest pieces of trash.







Despite the rising temperatures and strong sun from the morning, everyone diligently participated in the cleanup activity until the end, collecting a large amount of trash and sharing a meaningful time. Through this activity, we deepened our interaction with Business Club companies and believe that both adults and children were able to appreciate the importance of contributing to the community, in order to protect the coast, which is one of the charms of our hometown. We will continue to work to maintain beautiful beaches for the future. The ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB will continue to conduct activities aimed at regional and social contribution. (*) What is a philosophy sponsorship activity? The ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB allocates a portion of its membership fees as "philosophy sponsorship funds" for activities aimed at regional and social contribution.
