In order to support the Ukrainians who are suffering from the invasion by Russia, companies in the Kansai region are also expressing support by providing supplies and raising funds.
Of these, Shionogi, which has its headquarters in Osaka, has decided to send its medicines to people who have been damaged in Ukraine or evacuated to the surrounding area through the embassy.
In addition, NISSIN FOODS HOLDINGS, which is headquartered in Osaka, announced that its manufacturing subsidiary in Hungary will provide 100,000 meals of the popular "Cup Noodle" in Europe free of charge.
It means delivering to Ukrainians evacuating to nearby countries through the local Red Cross.
In addition, the supermarket "Heiwado", which is headquartered in Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture, will set up a donation box at the store window until the end of this month.
It will be set up in 288 stores, including group companies, mainly in the Kansai region, and will be donated to UNICEF, including those from companies and employees, to secure and supply the supplies needed by children.
In addition, some companies have announced that they will donate a portion of their sales or cash, and there are a series of moves to support Ukraine.
