Collaborative Event 'Hitachi Solutions Day' Held with Tokyo Yakult Swallows

Hitachi Solutions Day: A Unique Collaboration with Tokyo Yakult Swallows

On August 19, 2023, Hitachi Solutions organized an exciting baseball event called 'Hitachi Solutions Day' at the prestigious Meiji Jingu Stadium. This event was a collaborative effort with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, a prominent team in Japan's professional baseball league. The day was filled with excitement, as approximately 300 participants, including customers, partner companies, and employees with their families, took part in cheering for the home team against their rivals, the Yomiuri Giants.

Celebrating Sustainability and Community

The event was not just about sports; it represented Hitachi Solutions' ongoing commitment to sustainability. To promote their vision of Sustainability Transformation (SX), visitors were treated to a video that highlighted their initiatives aimed at resolving social issues and environmental challenges. This content was displayed on the stadium's large screen, emphasizing the importance of envisioning 'children's dreams' as part of their commitment to a sustainable future.

The event's festive atmosphere was further enhanced by opening ceremonies that included a ceremonial first pitch thrown by the company's president, Mr. Hideki Morita. Employees of Hitachi Solutions also participated in a bouquet presentation for the players, fostering a sense of camaraderie and support between the company and the team.

Engaging Programs for Families and Children

Hitachi Solutions Day was designed to be family-friendly, featuring various programs targeting young fans. Children had the unique opportunity to walk onto the field as “Starting Lineup Kids” during player introductions. This interactive segment allowed families to engage with the game and create lasting memories together. The celebration of community engagement continued with various cheering activities within the stadium, making the event enjoyable for fans of all ages.

Hitachi Solutions: A Longstanding Partnership

Hitachi Solutions has collaborated with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows since 2009 through a sponsorship agreement. The 'Hitachi Solutions Day' has evolved over the years, fostering relationships with clients and providing opportunities for guests to experience the thrill of professional baseball.
