Partnership Announcement: DMS and Kuradashi

DMS Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, President: Katsuhiko Yamamoto, TSE Standard Market: Stock Code 9782) has officially announced its collaboration with Kuradashi, Inc. (headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, President and CEO: Kohei Kawamura). This partnership aims to launch the exclusive agency sales of "Kuradashi" vouchers as part of the shareholder benefit support service, contributing significantly to the reduction of food waste.

1. Rationale Behind the Partnership

DMS has over 60 years of history, primarily focusing on direct mail while offering a diverse range of services from logistics to sales promotions and events. The company has developed a robust client base by facilitating direct communication between enterprises, public entities, and consumers. Today, DMS is promoting alliances with digital companies to provide comprehensive information solutions that meld digital and real-world services to address various corporate challenges.

On the other hand, Kuradashi's mission is to remain a 'social good company,' aiming to become Japan's leading entity in reducing food waste. They actively engage in solving social issues by purchasing food products nearing their expiration dates, seasonal items, or those damaged due to packaging flaws or natural disasters, and selling them through the social good marketplace, Kuradashi. A portion of the proceeds supports social contributions like environmental protection and disaster relief initiatives.

The current partnership seeks to enhance DMS’s shareholder benefit service, thereby expanding its customer base and providing a valuable opportunity for shareholders of listed companies to engage in meaningful social contributions. By supporting Kuradashi’s commitment to tackle food waste, DMS aims to contribute to the sustainable development of the community and society at large.

2. About the Kuradashi Voucher Sales Agency Service

DMS will act as an agent for the sale of Kuradashi vouchers and provide this in conjunction with its shareholder benefit support service to various companies. By collaborating with Kuradashi, DMS can offer a one-stop service for issuing voucher codes, printing, packaging, and shipping social good-focused shareholder benefits to companies issuing these vouchers.

3. Advantages of Implementing Kuradashi Vouchers

(1) Enhancing Shareholder Loyalty

Integrating Kuradashi vouchers provides shareholders a unique opportunity to contribute to food waste reduction while enjoying food and daily necessities at special prices. This exceptional experience increases shareholder satisfaction and strengthens their emotional tie to the company, deepening their appreciation for its social contribution efforts.

(2) Corporate Branding and Social Contribution

Adopting Kuradashi vouchers allows companies to outwardly communicate their commitment to sustainability and social contribution initiatives. This can help build a positive image connected to social issues, ultimately enhancing corporate value and strengthening branding efforts.
