Social Contribution Activities

①Helping to Eradicate Hunger and Poverty with ‘Volunteer Vendor’ Vending Machines

BAROQUE is a trustee member of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). The U.N. WFP is a non-profit organization that serves its mission to eradicate hunger and poverty. At the BAROQUE main office, each floor of our building is equipped with a “Volunteer Vendor” vending machine, which, upon purchasing a beverage, BAROQUE, the beverage manufacturer, and the vendor company have agreed to donate one yen - for a total of three yen - to the WFP.

②Promotion of Employment of People with Disabilities

At BAROQUE, we are actively involved in hiring people with disabilities. Whether in creating in-store POP and business cards, processing documents, or working across a wide range of operations spanning data entry operations, mail and courier sorting, delivery logistics, or otherwise, you can find our employees with disabilities actively contributing across our organization. Additionally, BAROQUE is actively engaged in hiring people with mental disabilities for positions at both our head office and warehouses, and has established a ‘Development, Verification, and Deployment Committee for Commissioned Training Curriculum for Persons with Mental Disability’ with dedicated staff focused on the development and establishment of a reference manual for commissioned training of people with mental disabilities.

③Baroque Murai Hiroyuki Foundation

The Foundation was established in March 2020 with the personal funds of Hiroyuki Murai, President and CEO of BAROQUE, and funding from BAROQUE. By providing scholarship support to Japanese and international students, our foundation aims to encourage persons who aspire to create new culture with their own hands and actively make the leap to the world in an increasingly borderless society. The foundation's specific projects are (1) "scholarship projects" for Japanese and international students, and (2) "subsidy project" for activities that contribute to sustainable social development closely related to daily life, such as "clothing," "food," and "housing."
