Every year, we support sketching events held throughout Japan. We also hold drawing classes overseas and engage in other activities proactively outside Japan.
Pentel supports the Yokohama Family Sketching Event, which is held by Yokohama City PTA every year in April.
In 2022, around 2,000 pictures were submitted for the event.
The participants in the event used water to wash their brushes. Of course, it is strictly prohibited to discharge wastewater in the park, so Pentel had its new employees help the participants to prepare water for washing brushes and dispose of the wastewater. This was the first social contribution activity that the new employees experienced as working members of society. The participants said “Thank you” to our new employees who participated in this highly meaningful training that is well known in the company.
(In 2022, because the event is based on a subscription system, there was no training).
