Partnerships with
local communities

In 2017, DHC and the town of Sakai, Ibaraki Prefecture launched a joint program to help residents in their working years to break free from metabolic syndrome. In FY2024, 69 people participated in this four-month program for people with BMIs of 25 or higher. At the end of three months, the vast majority of participants (96%) decided to continue the program. Of those who continued the program, 90% successfully reduced their weight. The final month of the program aims to prevent rebounding by communicating information about diet and exercise.

DHC launched a joint bone health project with the town of Matsuda, Kanagawa Prefecture, intended to maintain and improve bone health. To date, 148 people have participated in this program, which encourages people to develop various healthy habits, including regular exercise and getting all the nutrients essential to bone formation. Comparison of bone-density measurements before and after the project shows more than 60% of those assessed in FY2024 either maintained or improved their bone density.

Partnerships with educational institutions

We held a special course at Sagami Women's University Senior High School in Kanagawa Prefecture. This course for first-year students broadens horizons by explaining the appeal of cosmetics during their general research class time. Students report high satisfaction with the hands-on course, which includes explanations of all the steps from cosmetics planning and proposal through development, quality control, and completed products and review of the effects of skin-lightening ingredients.
