At this time of year, with the swimming season approaching, citizens, organizations, companies, and the government worked together to clean the beach in an effort to create beautiful shores. Through the work of collecting and sorting non-biodegradable trash, we addressed the many plastic wastes drifting into the ocean and the problem of marine debris.
This was the third time the Business Club participated, and the number of participants, including Business Club members and Antlers employees, reached a record high of approximately 190 people.

Participants enthusiastically engaged in the cleanup activities, wearing Antlers uniforms or staff polo shirts with emblems, and holding banners with their company names.
After the cleanup, Shikao and Business Club members took photos with the collected trash.
Shikao was very popular again on this day and took many photos with people.
This year's Kamisu City Beach Cleanup was held under cloudy skies, with the sun hidden, and a gentle sea breeze. A total of 1,609 volunteers, including general participants, collected approximately 1.8 tons of beach trash.
While the visible trash on the beach seems to have significantly decreased due to continued cleanup efforts, fine plastic waste left behind is difficult to collect. This highlights the challenges of easily disposable plastics today and the importance of promptly collecting discarded trash during beach cleanups.
We will continue to work with our Business Club members to protect the hometown beaches.
The ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB will continue to engage in activities aimed at community and social contribution.
