The moment

Our name on the big screen

“CAFÈ OF MISTAKEN ORDERS BY ORANGEDAY SENGAWA” — our name was called at the ceremony and shown on the big screen above the hall.

Two of our staff members who speak English fluently travelled to Milan to attend. They are a big help at every cafe day, too. Without our noticing, our activities have become global.

This year’s theme

#PeopleMatter

People matter

Following the earlier themes of “uniqueness” and “collaboration,” this year’s awards carried the message that “people are the driving force of innovation and the soul of the community,” and shone a spotlight on the people who are moving the world, step by step, toward inclusion.

Our category
