Together with Society

A Mindset of Helpfulness and Community Service

Kaneda has opened a Communication Salon in Nihonbashi to promote communication between employees and with customers. Alcoholic beverages are available free of charge with a charity donation of 200 yen per person. The collected donations are used to support social contribution activities, including welfare and educational programs, international humanitarian aid, and disaster relief efforts. In our founding location of Asakusabashi, we also support local revitalization by actively participating in community events, such as joining shrine festivals as mikoshi (portable shrine) bearers.

Together with Oil

Known as the God of Oil, Rikyu Hachimangu was enshrined in Oyamazaki, Kyoto on August 23rd, 895, and it was at this shrine that the first oil, perilla seed oil, was pressed in Japan. Oil Day was created to commemorate the day the god was enshrined, and every year Kaneda celebrates by exhibiting oils and giving away perilla seed oil, the first oil pressed in Japan, to spread awareness of Oil Day.

Preparing for Disasters

Kaneda went through the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Tokyo Air Raids. Based on this past experience, as well as fire regulations, Kaneda Co., Ltd. has established a set of required items for fire prevention, and has put in place a fire fighting plan with fire prevention, disaster prevention for earthquakes and other disasters, safety of human life, and mitigation of damage as its goals. In particular, the company has taken measures against earthquakes through the stockpiling of water, food, and emergency supplies, as well as through practical training, at the same time implementing mental preparation for emergency situations.
