MHD Artists Scholarship Program

MHD Artists Scholarship Program was established and the showcase was held.

Since 2017, MHD Moet Hennessy Diageo K.K. has been continuously supporting the activities of Able Art Japan, a non-profit organization; in 2017, we hosted an in-house artist talk event, an art appreciation at Mori Art Museum and dinner etiquette class, and in 2018, we have been collaborating to organize art viewing and social events at Espace Louis Vuitton and, in 2019, a food, art and storybook event at the LVMH Kodomo Art Maison, to increase interaction between artists and employees.

To provide more direct support to artists, we have launched the MHD Artists Scholarship Program. MHD employees were involved in the selection process for this support program to help Able Art Company artists achieve further success as artists.

The winners for 2020 are as follows

Yuma Suda (Tokyo, Japan)

Kosuke Ota (Fukuoka, Japan)

The presentation of Yuma Suda and Kosuke Ota, who completed their works, was held online on October 14 (Wednesday). Due to the corona disaster, they changed their original plan and completed their work at different locations and times. This time, as a new challenge, Mr. Ota chose Mt. Fuji as a landscape painting subject, instead of the animals, flowers, and people he usually draws. He aimed for new growth. Through a sketching trip to Ishigaki Island, Mr. Suda actually swam with dolphins in the sea and completed a dynamic picture of marine life.

Due to the corona disaster, Mr. Kasuga and Seiyamizu were also forced to change their plans and will hold a separate presentation.

MHD Moet Hennessy Diageo K.K. will continue to support this project.

A Place to Express Your Authentic Self: MHD’s participation in Tokyo Pride 2025

MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo participated in Tokyo Pride 2025, one of the largest LGBTQ+ events in Asia, which celebrated its 14th edition this year. Held during pride month, June 7th and 8th, the Pride Festival welcomed approximately 273,000 attendees over two days, each coming together to celebrate and support the rights and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. The event also saw companies, organizations, and individuals communicate their efforts toward diversity and inclusion from their respective standpoints.

This year marked a significant evolution for the event, with a name change from Tokyo Rainbow Pride to Tokyo Pride. The change reflects a broader scope, shifting the focus beyond LGBTQ+ rights to address various intersecting human rights issues, including gender, race, and disability. The central theme for the event, “Same Life, Same Rights”, delivers a strong message affirming that all lives deserve equal rights, free from discrimination and prejudice. Tokyo Pride 2025 will continue throughout pride month with a range of events, with the initiatives that aim to raise awareness of the complex challenges faces by the LGBTQ+ community and foster open dialogue around inclusion and equity.

As a platinum sponsor, the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton Japan proudly supported the event. On June 8th, around 250 employees from various maisons, including MHD, marched in the Pride Parade, which was filled with an atmosphere of warmth, solidarity, and celebration in the Shibuya and Harajuku areas. As part of MHD’s sustainability manifesto, "Living Soils, Living Together," our participation in Tokyo Pride represents one aspect of our ongoing commitment to “engaging with society”. This was also an opportunity to re-visualize DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) initiatives both internally and externally, and to show a commitment to supporting and walking together with the community.

MHD, together with the LVMH Group, will continue to promote DE&I initiatives and strive to ensure that our corporate efforts spark new findings and learning opportunities for each and every employee.
