  Project in India by charity: water - Rainwater Harvesting

Tokyo, JAPAN (September 30, 2025) — Throughout October, Suntory Group will bring its global employees together for the annual charity walking event, “One Suntory Walk.” As part of the group’s global health management and sustainability efforts, the program aims to promote employee health and provide communities in need with access to safe drinking water.

Suntory Group believes that employee health is the source of workplace energy and innovation. The group promotes various measures to create healthy, motivated workplaces that support physical and mental well-being. As part of these efforts, “One Suntory Walk” encourages employees to come together for a month to raise health awareness and establish the habit of regular exercise.

“One Suntory Walk” is also designed to allow employees to contribute to providing communities in need with access to safe drinking water by linking the number of participants with donations. Water is essential to Suntory Group’s business. To ensure its sustainability for future generations, the group aims to expand water education programs and initiatives to provide access to safe water for more than 5 million people by 2030. Since its launch in 2017, over 58,000 Suntory Group employees have participated in “One Suntory Walk,” donating over US$900,000 to organizations such as charity: water, a nonprofit organization that provides clean and safe water to people around the world. Through charity: water, Suntory Group has funded several water projects, including installing rainwater harvesting systems in homes and ultrafiltration systems in schools in India. These projects have provided over 8,000 people with access to safe water. This year, Suntory Group will again donate US$10 per participant, up to a total of US$100,000, to charity: water.

Suntory Group will continue to promote its health management and sustainability initiatives.
