In Japan, AEON centers serve as reliable shelters during natural disasters, providing essential supplies to people. Based on our experience in disaster response in Japan, we are committed to continuing our efforts in ensuring the supply and stable prices of essential goods for the people and in supporting activities to help stabilize life after the typhoon.”
