Admin’s Note

The disruption to the logistics system caused by Asahi’s cyberattack is a very significant issue for the company. Especially in the beverage industry, where meeting consumer expectations is crucial, a swift recovery is essential. As indicated by Chako’s questions in our conversations, it can be difficult for younger generations to grasp the full impact of this issue, but it is an event that actually affects our daily lives. We need to closely monitor the progress of the recovery going forward.
