We are developing the NO WASTE PROJECT. This time, Sophia University’s desire to create an opportunity to pause and think about global issues such as
environmental problems as a personal matter is reflected in the concept of “NO WASTE PROJECT” of “not wasting anything.” We overlapped and ended up being hired. For this project, we will be soliciting designs from undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty at Sophia University, with the aim of getting them to think about it as their own work. Our company also participated in the design selection as a first-round judge, and the best-selected design will be used as T-shirts as official university goods, and will be sold at Patine Sports at Sophia University. Going forward, we will continue to aim to co-create value through various initiatives, including
industry-academia collaboration, in order to realize our corporate philosophy of becoming a “company with dreams” and a “society that is rich in spirit.” Call for designs for official Sophia University sustainable T-shirts:
