Hello.

Today is the annual "Charity Pork Show".

This is the 19th time the charity pork show has been held.
What is a charity pork show?
Let me tell you a little bit about the background.
At first, we decided to hold a dinner party with our employees on labor appreciation day.
After that, I started doing hidden tricks and costumes.
 
In addition, business partners were invited to the event, which at the time became a grand year-end party.
During this time, the founder, Teruo Hashimoto, was a dynamic person, but he was also a sensitive person who could not overlook weak people.
For example, during the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, we went to Kobe with Ark Group employees and volunteers from Fujisawa Town and set up a soup kitchen for 3,000 people.
 
The charity auction was started by Mr. Teruo Hashimoto, who wanted to help those in need even in the slightest.
In addition, the pig farming industry has been referred to as a "3K industry." Teruo Hashimoto wanted to raise the social status of pig farming.
To that end, we had the will to become a company and industry indispensable to the region. Contributing to society has been passed down as an action that embodies that will.
That is what we call today's New Year's Charity Pork Show.

Let me tell you a little bit about that fun time.
Since our company coexists with living things (pigs), it is difficult to have everyone together at once.
This is a valuable opportunity for all employees to get together, so please forgive me for being a bit "popular" as it's a New Year's gathering.
