Supporting local disaster countermeasures and disaster risk reduction efforts
We are reinforcing various initiatives to address challenges of local communities by concluding comprehensive agreements with local governments. For local disaster countermeasures, we provide support by offering disaster relief goods and allowing our stores to be used as evacuation sites at times of emergency for evacuees and stranded commuters. For local disaster risk reduction efforts, we cooperate with local communities in implementing disaster drills.

Establishing a new model for stockpiling disaster relief items through public-private partnerships
In cooperation with local governments, the SUGI Pharmacy Group has established a public-private partnership rolling stock model that enables rapid provision of relief supplies in the event of a disaster. By ensuring that relief items are stockpiled at government facilities and our stores and replaced with new ones regularly, the model achieves an efficient and practical stockpiling system.
Relief items are stored at unused government facilities. They are replaced with new items approximately once a year and sold at stores.
Our stores manage relief items purchased by local governments in advance.
Starting a mobile battery rental service at all stores
We have started Charge Spot, a mobile battery rental service, at all SUGI Pharmacy stores. In the event of a power outage caused by a disaster such as an earthquake, we will make the service available free of charge. We will continue to contribute to enhancing the resilience of the communities in our store operation areas.
Installing AEDs at many more stores
Mainly from among stores located in regions whose governments request us to install AEDs, we select
stores with frequent visits of senior citizens and other customers and install AEDs there. The number
of our stores equipped with AEDs is increasing.
As of the end of February 2026, we installed AEDs at 1,422 stores (approx. 76.6% of the total), and we
will achieve 100% installation across all SUGI Pharmacy stores (excluding Hanshin Dispensing Pharmacy)
by the end of FY2026.

Receiving refugees from Ukraine
Cooperating with Obu City, Aichi Prefecture, in supporting refugees from Ukraine, we provide employment support at the Obu Logistics Center of the SUGI Pharmacy Group. Deeply distressed and concerned about the prolonged situation in Ukraine, we sincerely hope that people in the country will regain safe and peaceful lives as soon as possible. In the SUGI Pharmacy Group, we will continue to commit to the health and safety of people in Ukraine and those who have suffered damage.
