Suntory Holdings Limited has begun accepting applications for the 2026 sessions of its "Forest and Water School," an annual program conducted as part of its next-generation environmental education initiative, "Mizuiku." Applications are open for all four locations: Hakushu School (Yamanashi Prefecture), North Alps School (Nagano Prefecture), Oku-Daisen School (Tottori Prefecture), and Aso School (Kumamoto Prefecture), starting from Thursday, June 11th.

"Mizuiku" is Suntory's unique next-generation environmental education program that encourages children to think together about what can be done to pass on water to the future. In Japan, the program began in 2004 at "Aso," the birthplace of "Suntory Natural Water Forest." Currently, the initiative focuses on two main pillars: the "Forest and Water School," where participants learn through forest exploration, water experiences, and factory tours, and "On-site Classes," which are conducted in elementary school classrooms using videos and dialogue.

Furthermore, "Mizuiku" activities extend beyond Japan to overseas locations where the Suntory Group operates. Recognizing that water-related situations and challenges vary by region, the program conveys the importance of the water cycle and water, while also implementing initiatives tailored to local conditions, such as improving hygiene awareness, thereby promoting global next-generation environmental education. Since its launch in Vietnam in 2015, the program is now implemented in a total of nine countries across Asia, Europe, and Oceania (including Japan), with a cumulative total of over 1.79 million participants domestically and internationally by 2025.

The Suntory Group's products are supported by nature, including water. As a company that thrives on these blessings, the Group will continue to deepen children's proactive learning through the "Mizuiku" program to pass on water and nature to the future.
