Asahi Breweries Ltd has announced it will join Tokyo government’s initiatives such as “2020 TDM (Transportation Demand Management” and “Smooth Biz” teleworking.

This way, the company intends to help alleviate traffic congestion in the Greater Tokyo Area during peak hours.

While other 17 companies in the Asahi Group are taking up the initiative as well, 4,900 employees active in Tokyo will be teleworking to reduce travel.

In addition, during the period from July 24 to August 9, 2020, and from August 25 to September 6, only five companies in the group will be assigned to the task of moving materials and goods.

This initiative is aimed at reducing the operation of 1,800 trucks (72 trucks per day) by a third.
