3. Sustainability Management
Regarding sustainability management, while the materiality has not been announced at this time, the company aims to contribute to solving social issues and realizing a sustainable society by providing abundance through food to stakeholders. The goal is to increase sustainable corporate value by addressing social issues through business activities (food safety and security, collaboration with producers, reduction of food loss, etc.), promoting the active participation of diverse human resources and enhancing job satisfaction (respect for diversity, fostering individual growth and comfortable working environments), and realizing fair and transparent management. As an example, through its in-store waste oil recycling activities, waste oil generated from each store and factory (approximately 190 tons annually) is recycled into environmentally friendly biodiesel fuel in collaboration with local businesses.
