Building an Inclusive Society Through Art: Our Partnership with Able Art Japan

MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo has been fostering a collaborative project with the nonprofit organization Able Art Japan since 2017, under the pillar "Engaging Our Society" of our sustainability manifesto, Living Soils, Living Together.

As part of this initiative, we launched the “MHD Artist Scholarship Program” in 2020 to support artists with disabilities in expressing themselves through their art. Our goal is to broaden opportunities for creative expression and celebrate their talents as a society.

From July 4 to 31, we held the “Office Museum” exhibition at our Jinbocho headquarters and regional offices across Japan, showcasing works by six scholarship artists. The vibrant artworks brought our office spaces to life, offering employees fresh perspectives and inspiring creativity.

On July 5, we hosted a “Family Day” event at the Jinbocho office, welcoming employees, their families, and the artists. The event featured a hands-on tufting workshop led by artist NPF_kazuko (Kazuko Shuto) from Minamisanriku. Participants collaboratively crafted a rug, enjoying the textures of materials and freely mixing colors, while sharing smiles and conversation in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

By bringing together artistic passion and our support, this initiative nurtures and lays the foundation for a society where differences are embraced, and everyone has the opportunity to shine. MHD remains committed to connecting people and society through art and promoting respect and opportunity for all.
