Aside from our business activities, and based on our philosophy called the Cycle of Goodness, YKK has been assisting our many local communities in the areas of education and community activities.
One example is our international exchange program. To be a good corporate citizen and to be continuously admired by our communities and society, YKK will diligently support activities that contribute to cultural growth.

YKK has been the sponsor of the "All Japan Junior Soccer Tournament" since 1980.
This tournament has produced many professional soccer players in the J League.
