The Hankyu Hanshin Express, as the Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group's core company, is committed to promoting the community contribution initiative "Hankyu Hanshin Dreams and Communities of the Future Project" in an effort to conserve the environment and develop the next generation.
Since FY2011, we have been supporting “Save the Panda Fund” deployed by Tokyo Zoological Park Society, and then since FY2020, we start up our own fund to sustain the support. Therefore, we save 10yen per number of air import entry as donation (upper limit is 1-million yen) and "Hankyu Hanshin Dreams and Communities of the Future Project" adds the same amount to the utmost 2-million yen in total.
We contribute for the preservation of endangered species and the conservation of biological diversity.

"Hankyu Hanshin Dreams and Communities Challenge Troop" is a Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group's experiential program designed for elementary school students.

In the first half of the program, the students learned about trade, customs clearance, and roles of customs through some quizzes and videos. In the interviews with people who have worked overseas, they asked questions and learned about the difficulties and rewards of working overseas.
In another half, they experienced working in customs clearance, importing items which are familiar to them and delivering items to customers through the role-playing. Although the program was difficult, as they had to create an import declaration form using the tariff schedule, it was very impressive to see them working together in groups and having fun.

We would be very happy if this experience could help them learn about and become interested in international logistics and customs clearance work.

"Hankyu Hanshin Dreams and Communities Challenge Troop" is a Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group's experiential program designed for elementary school students.

Continuing from last year, we held a face-to-face event entitled "Let's learn about the work of customs clearance, which serves as a bridge to other countries!" this year.

In the first half, we introduced various types of animal transport service that we have provided for zoos all over Japan, including giant pandas.
In another half, the children experienced customs clearance job. Although they were surprised that such a job existed, worked together to complete the difficult task of making an import declaration to customs when importing goods and delivering the cargo to the customer.

We are very pleased if the experience of this program helps the children to decide to what they do in the future.

The non-profit organization Tokyo Zoological Park Society set up the "Giant Panda Protective Fund" to support research on protection and breeding of endangered giant pandas. Hankyu Hanshin Express has been co-sponsoring this initiative since 2011, setting up an explanation board at the Panda Forest in Ueno Zoo to present the ecology of giant pandas and transportation of them from Sichuan Province in China to the zoo, which was performed by Hankyu Hanshin Express. Hankyu Hanshin Express will continue to support breeding projects through transportation of endangered animals to contribute to conserving biodiversity.

This social contribution initiative will be irregularly advertised in trains (Hankyu Railway and Hanshin Electric Railway) as part of the "Hankyu Hanshin Dreams and Communities of the Future Project." Please take a look at the ads when you get a chance.

Through this program, they could understand the work of customs clearance, usually unfamiliar for them but very important to support everyone's daily life in cooperation with overseas people aiming for “Logistics not to stop” while in COVID-19 pandemic.
