Wacoal Group's Pink Ribbon Campaign
Wacoal Group, headquartered in Kyoto, Japan, is dedicated to promoting awareness around breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment through its
Pink Ribbon Campaign. As part of its efforts, Wacoal encourages individuals to develop a habit of self-checking for breast health. If any changes are noted, the campaign emphasizes the importance of consulting with a medical professional for timely action.
Every October, which is recognized as the breast cancer awareness month, Wacoal organizes a nationwide campaign promoting self-exams and education concerning breast health. For 2025, the campaign will extend to include
PEACH JOHN, reaching almost 1,000 participating stores and online platforms. Customers who visit stores for fittings or make purchases through the Wacoal web store will trigger a donation of 10 yen to organizations committed to breast cancer activities, thereby supporting community initiatives without any out-of-pocket expense for the participants.
