Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc. (Headquarters in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director& President Calin Dragan; hereafter “CCBJI”) installed heatstroke prevention vending
machines at 2 public junior high schools (Fujiidera City Daisan Junior High School on June

The installation of the vending machine was carried out based on the “Comprehensive
Collaboration Agreement” concluded on October 27, 2020 with Fujiidera City (hereafter“this Agreement”) (Note 1). This agreement aims for growth and development of thecommunities through improvement of public services, creation of attractive towns etc. byreinforcing mutual cooperation and driving community revitalization in Fujiidera City.
Vending machines were installed in the city's public junior high schools (Fujiidera JuniorHigh School and Fujiidera City Daisan Junior High School) as there was a comment fromparents and students “a lot of water intake is necessary especially for students who joinclub activities, but bringing a water bottle is a burden” while heatstroke prevention isemphasized more than ever before because of wearing a mask to prevent COVID-19infection. In addition, students are allowed to work on improving their self-teachingabilities by determining rules for their own use when installing vending machines.
We strive to achieve CSV (Creating Shared Value) goals to address community challenges
through our core business and cooperation with Fujiidera City also in various fields.
