Jimoty Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takahiro Kato; hereinafter "Jimoty") and Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (Head office: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President and CEO: Yasunori Takahashi; hereinafter "CCC") are pleased to announce that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a business partnership aimed at co-creation aimed at resolving issues in local communities and providing sustainable value.
Jimoty operates the local information site "Jimoty" with the management philosophy of "visualizing the current state of the region and connecting people to their futures."Currently, approximately 10 million people use the service each month, providing a place to deliver necessary items, mainly large furniture and home appliances, to those who need them. We also operate "Jimoty Spots" as reuse hubs in collaboration with the public and private sectors, and in the year 2024, we reused a total of approximately 300,000 items that were still usable, achieving a waste reduction of approximately 1,290 tons (※).
*Calculated based on the average weight of unwanted items brought in and the number of items reused
CCC is a company that creates cultural infrastructure. With this mission in mind, we are engaged in a solutions business that aims to solve problems for companies by utilizing intellectual capital, a consulting business that creates new value through partnerships and generates new business opportunities, and a retail and style business that accumulates intellectual capital while providing new value to consumers.

The aim is to jointly develop and deploy new businesses that contribute to solving issues facing local communities, leveraging Jimoty's ability to develop locally rooted services, which is based on its strength in collaboration and connections with local governments, and CCC's nationwide store network and operational and planning capabilities. We aim to maximize the synergy between the two companies and create a sustainable local community.
