At GOJO Industries, Inc., well-being is a universal language — we’re all connected, hand-in-hand, around the globe. We’re even working toward a bold goal: helping one billion people each day confidently gather, work, travel, and play through trusted well-being solutions.

For this edition of GOJO Forward: Industry Interviews—our series of casual coffee chats with the experts shaping the future of well-being — we’re taking a world tour in honor of May’s celebration of World Hand Hygiene Day.

To do that, I’m joined by Maki Sakamoto, Senior Marketing Manager at GOJO Japan, to explore how hand hygiene is practiced in one of the most famously clean cultures in the world. We chat about hand hygiene cultural differences and shared values, what it’s like working at GOJO Japan, and how PURELL® products fit into life in their country.

Most importantly, we talk about what we can learn from each other.
