We will help resolve social issues through our business and achieve a sustainable society.

The Nichirei Group conducts its daily business based on its mission of "Focus on Lifestyles, and Provide True Satisfaction" and its vision of "We will continue to support good eating habits and health by leveraging our state-of-the-art manufacturing practices that optimize nature’s bounty, along with our leading-edge logistics services." We recognize that our mission and the reason for existence is to continue to create and provide valuable products and services that meet the needs of the world and satisfy our customers.

Nowadays, global warming due to climate change and geopolitical risks are significantly affecting the food-related supply chain in our business. How can our group, as a part of society's infrastructure, contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and to the response to global environmental changes? We recognize that this question is of great concern to society.

In order to maintain a sustainable food supply chain in the future, our group will continue to conduct our business activities to achieve carbon neutrality while carefully protecting the rich natural environment and food resources. As part of our efforts to procure renewable energy, we have expanded the installation of solar power generation equipment at our own sites. Moreover, in March 2024, we introduced new off-site corporate PPA services at distribution and production sites in the service area of Tohoku Electric Power Company and at distribution sites in the service area of Shikoku Electric Power Company. Based on strong partnership with our business partners, we are also committed to working diligently on human rights issues and labor issues. Since FY2023, we have been conducting human rights due diligence with domestic and overseas livestock and fishery suppliers, and are promoting efforts to deepen understanding of mutual values. Furthermore, as part of our sustainability education, we have launched “One for Future,” a group-wide SDGs materiality training program for all employees, started in August 2023. Through this training, we will promote a sustainability mindset and behavioral change among participants and develop human resources who can practice “balancing social value and economic value.”

Since its founding, the Nichirei Group has grown through businesses that solve various social issues. We will continue to promote sustainability management with the aim of maximizing corporate value by balancing social value and economic value. We will continue our efforts to realize a well-being society in which employees of the Nichirei Group, all stakeholders of the Nichirei Group, and people around the world can have healthy life with smile.

We appreciate your continued support.
