Social contribution

Our company's commitment to "eyes" runs deep, beginning with our founder, Yasutami Yamada, supporting the establishment of Nara Prefecture's first school for the blind. Since then, we have engaged in various social contribution activities, including "drug education" to teach the correct use of medicine, charity donations starting from 390 (thank you), and eye care support through free eye examinations mainly in emerging Asian countries.

"Medicine education" - teaching the correct way to use medicine.

"Medicine education" - teaching the correct way to use medicine.

"Pharmacy Education" is our company's original educational activity aimed at equipping children, who will be the leaders of the next generation, with accurate knowledge about medicine.
Rohto employees visit junior and senior high schools to conduct outreach classes. They use simple simulation experiments to provide fun and easy-to-understand lectures on basic knowledge of medicine, how to read package inserts, and how to properly use eye drops.
This drug education initiative originated from a proposal by an internal project formed in 2005, where employees from various departments voluntarily came together. Currently, employees from various departments participate in these drug education activities on a continuous basis in the Kanto and Kinki regions.

The amount raised has been increasing year by year, and it supports activities such as the training of guide dogs.
