Social Initiatives Sustainability
The Kurabo Group believes that deepening communication and building positive relationships with the communities in which it operates is part of its responsibility as a member of society. We contribute to our local community through initiatives such as beautification, volunteering, and plant tours.
10-100 Project
The 10-100 (ten hundred) Project is a unique Kurabo activity. Employees’ participation in clean-up campaigns is transformed into tangible form and given back to society. Specifically, for every 10 people taking part in clean-up campaigns, 100 anti-virus hand towels (using Kurabo’s Cleanse fiber processing technology) are donated to nursery schools, facilities for the elderly, and the cities of Kurashiki (the birthplace of Kurabo) and Osaka (the location of the head office). There were 7,600 towels donated in 2023.
Supporting a pro sports team
To help promote sports in Okayama Prefecture, the birthplace of Kurabo, the company is a supporter of Fagiano Okayama, a second-division professional soccer team that represents fans throughout the prefecture.
Other Activities
Factory tours and work experience
Every year, we strive to develop the next generation of human resources by providing opportunities to experience the workplace through factory tours for local elementary to senior high school students and work experience for junior high school to college students.

Focusing on the areas where our offices are located, we provide support for children and others, sponsor local events, and make donations to the Central Community Chest of Japan and other charities.
Blood donation drive
We hold regular corporate blood donation drives and cooperate with activities that protect lives.
