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.

The global environment is changing in the food supply chain due to the effects of climate change, the pandemic crisis, and other factors that are constraining procurement, production, and logistics around the world. Under these difficult circumstances, what contribution can the Nichirei Group, which plays a role in the social infrastructure, make toward the realization of a sustainable society?　We recognize that this question is of great concern to society.

In order to keep building a sustainable food supply chain, the Nichirei Group will continue to manufacture products that take advantage of the natural abundance while carefully protecting the rich natural environment and food resources, and will actively promote activities to achieve carbon neutrality. We will also make sincere efforts to address human rights issues and labor problems based on the premise of coexistence and co-prosperity with our business partners and stakeholders. In order to achieve these goals, the Nichirei Group established the "Nichirei Group Sustainable Marine Product Procurement Guidelines" and the "Nichirei Group Sustainable Palm Oil Procurement Guidelines" in April 2023, based on the "Sustainable Procurement Policy." We will work together with our suppliers and business partners to build a sustainable food procurement and sustainable supply chain by sharing our values and understanding of these guidelines as well as our own efforts.

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. Through sustainability management, we aim to realize a sustainable society and solve social issues and to realize a society of well-being in which employees of the Nichirei Group, all stakeholders of the Nichirei Group, and people around the world can live healthy lives with smiles on their faces.

We appreciate your continued support.
