Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Collaborates with FamilyMart

Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan, known for its innovative approaches, has joined forces with FamilyMart to enhance community contributions through an engaging event titled "Famima Kids Store Manager + SDGs." This initiative allows children and families to participate in professional experiences while simultaneously learning about sustainability practices.

About the Event

The event emphasizes a hybrid approach of practical job experience combined with educational insights into sustainability efforts such as food waste reduction and food drives. Both organizations have been actively collaborating on SDGs projects since early 2023, and this event marks a pivotal part of their ongoing commitment to these important goals.

On May 14, 2026, FamilyMart's Nerima Nishi Tax Office store in Tokyo hosted the inaugural event. Families participated in a variety of activities designed to introduce them to the concept of SDGs through hands-on experiences. An innovative quiz rally, focusing on the recycling of PET bottles, was a highlight, making learning both fun and engaging for participants.
