SDGs × CSR Collaboration with Holiday Inn Express Osaka City Centre – Midosuji
Strengthening Food Support through the “Osaka ECO-Friendly Plan” with Holiday Inn Express Osaka City Centre – MidosujiJapanHarvest is pleased to announce a new corporate collaboration with Holiday Inn Express Osaka City Centre – Midosuji (Chuo-ku, Osaka / General Manager: Prin Patanatham), part of the IHG Hotels & Resorts group.From April 11 to October 14, 2025, the hotel will offer a special limited-time "Osaka ECO-Friendly Plan" designed to promote sustainability and community contribution. As part of this initiative, guests will receive a custom-designed reusable tumbler featuring both the hotel and Japan Harvest logos, encouraging eco-conscious behavior during their stay.A portion of the proceeds from this plan will be donated to support Japan Harvest’s food rescue and distribution activities, helping reduce food waste while supporting families and welfare organizations in need.Supporting SDGs Through Hospitality: A New Model for Social ContributionThis collaborative effort is more than a hotel plan—it is a model for social contribution through daily actions. By staying at the hotel and using the reusable tumbler instead of disposable cups, guests can actively contribute to reducing plastic waste, while simultaneously supporting our mission of delivering rescued food to underserved communities.This initiative aligns with SDGs Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production and Goal 1: No Poverty, offering a tangible way for travelers to engage with global issues through corporate social responsibility (CSR) and conscious choices.Why Corporate Collaboration Matters NowAt Japan Harvest, we collect and distribute safe, surplus food—such as near-expiry products or items that don’t meet retail appearance standards—to welfare institutions, child support organizations, and families experiencing food insecurity.In recent years, we have strengthened partnerships with companies that share our vision for a more sustainable and compassionate society.Corporate participation not only contributes to solving social problems, but also enhances brand value through meaningful CSR activities.Message from the Director“We are deeply grateful to Holiday Inn Express Osaka City Centre – Midosuji for making social contribution a part of everyday hospitality.By incorporating kindness into ordinary actions like travel, we move closer to a society where no food is wasted and no one is left behind.Japan Harvest remains committed to building these bridges between people, businesses, and communities through the spirit of the SDGs.”— Ken Narita, Executive Director, Japan HarvestWe will continue to promote food rescue and community support as a dual mission,working with diverse companies to co-create a more sustainable and inclusive future.We hope the Osaka ECO-Friendly Plan becomes a gateway for many to take part in the cycle of kindness and conscious living.🔗 Learn more about Japan Harvest’s SDGs & CSR Initiatives → www.japanharvest.or.jp📩 For corporate partnership inquiries → hello@japanharvest.or.jp
