Since the 1890s, Lion has promoted a culture of cleaning, helping to make such hygienic habits as handwashing and disinfection more widespread throughout society. These habits are fundamental to everyday disease prevention and are essential practices for maintaining good mental and physical health.
Proper handwashing and maintaining a clean and hygienic environment are crucial to effectively reducing the risk of infection and disease. Through the provision of programs, visualization tools and support for cleanliness and hygiene management in educational institutions, local communities and workplaces, Lion encourages people of all ages to adopt good cleanliness and hygiene habits.
We also provide information on hygiene and healthcare practices and conduct outreach activities at disaster preparedness events to help people mitigate health risks associated with deteriorating sanitary conditions during disasters. Furthermore, by collaborating with educational institutions and local communities and providing hygiene management support to businesses, we remain committed to contributing to a broader understanding of hygiene across society through our business activities.

In times of disaster, poor sanitation conditions—caused by living in evacuation shelters and water shortages—can increase the risk of infectious diseases and other health problems. We provide information and support to help people maintain cleanliness and protect their health as much as possible even under such circumstances. Our goal is to help as many people as possible prepare for disasters through everyday actions and to share practical hygiene tips that will help them in times of need.
As part of our disaster preparedness efforts, we have published a book, “Hygiene and Health Care in Times of Disaster,” and a pamphlet, “Hygiene and Health Care in Times of Disaster,” that provide guidance on handwashing and personal hygiene. These resources are available for download online. These practical guides provide clear, step-by-step instructions on how to wash your hands when water is scarce, maintain oral and personal hygiene and reduce the risk of infection—all essential pieces of information for life in an evacuation shelter.
Professionals who handle food, be it in restaurants, hotels, food product factories or other industries, all want to provide the best service possible so that their customers will enjoy their food with peace of mind, have a good time and make great memories.
Lion Hygiene Co., Ltd., as a comprehensive hygiene management company, helps create clean, safe and hygienic environments through products, hygiene assessments and other forms of support based on scientific insights in order to help food service professionals make their vision a reality. In particular, the foundation of hygiene management for professionals who handle food is thorough handwashing. As part of support efforts, Lion Hygiene provides hygiene management information that is important for such professionals, including not only handwashing techniques, but key points about hand washing timing and facilities, among other topics, through “Hygiene Tayori” fliers issued four times a year.
