Representative of Nama Gateau Au Chocolat
Odawara City SDGs Partner
When I worked at the Bangladesh branch of my previous IT company, I went to a local orphanage and NPO, where I experienced firsthand the problems of developing countries. As a result of confronting social problems, he decided to start a social business. After that, he opened Namagateau Chocolat. We support a sustainable program in which a portion of sales is returned to producers, and provide sustainable sweets using the program's chocolate. We use environmentally friendly materials as much as possible, from raw materials to packaging, and actively communicate about the problems of cacao farmers, their lives, and environmental issues through the operation of the brand. In addition, as an SDGs partner of Odawara City, where our stores are located, we accept classes and work experience as instructors at junior high and high schools, and participate in government SDGs events to raise awareness of ethical and sustainable initiatives.
