Started Bellmark collection (Tokyo headquarters)

In Japan, about 60 manufactures in industries such as food and stationery are the sponsors of an organization called the "Bellmark Foundation".
When Parent - Teacher -Associations(PTA) of elementary school cut out and collect these bellmark and send them to Bellmark Foundation, the BMF exchange them for school goods. We started bellmark collection in December, 2009.
Collection box is set up, and a bellmark and a used cartridge are collected (A used cartridge is exchanged into the bellmark point). Used cartridge about 10kg was donated to elementary school PTA in the neighborhood on January 26th.

As usual, we dressed up our Nagaoka and Mitsuke factory in December. All processes, from designing to decorating, was done by ourselves every year.
For energy saving, we used about 20,000 LED lights last year. We enjoy the cold Niigata winter warmly with neighborhood.
