To support recovery efforts in southern U.S. states in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Suntory Group will donate $500,000 (approx. 55 million yen).
Our hearts go out to those affected by the disaster. We hope that this donation of $500,000, made through the Japanese Red Cross Society to impacted areas, will help speed recovery by assisting those affected, reestablishing basic infrastructure, and aiding in disease control.
Additionally, the Suntory Group has donated a total of $25,000 (approx. 2.75 million yen) to the American Red Cross through Pepsi Bottling Ventures (headquarters: North Carolina; president and CEO: Keith Reimer), a U.S.-based joint-venture for beverage bottling.
