The Group’s mission is not only to provide safe and delicious food to people as the pioneer of instant noodles, but also promote the development of products that solve environmental and social issues. The Group is working to realize a sustainable society and increase corporate value by establishing the “Sustainability Committee,” which is chaired by President & Representative Director, CEO. Furthermore, from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, the Group established the “Sustainability Advisory Board,” which primarily consists of external experts, positioned it as an advisory body to the Board of Directors and the Sustainability Committee, and utilized investors’ opinions and international trends in its management. The Group is working to realize its vision and achieve sustainable growth. One theme for the medium- to long-term growth strategy is “EARTH FOOD CHALLENGE 2030,” which is the Group’s own medium- to long-term strategy concerning the environment. We see the resolution of global environmental and social issues as an opportunity for growth, and we will address two main issues: “finite resources” and “climate change.” As for the resource-related issues, the Group is aiming for “earth-friendly procurement,” the “saving of earth resources” and a “waste-free earth,” has set numerical targets for them, and will work to effectively utilize finite resources through procurement with a low environmental impact and the reduction of waste. With regard to the climate change issue, we aim to reduce CO2 emissions through the use of “green electricity,” “green food ingredients,” and “green packaging materials.” We are working to procure renewable energy and to switch raw materials used for containers, packaging, and food ingredients to those with less environmental impact.

In 2018, the Company formulated the “NISSIN FOODS Group’s Declaration of Health and Productivity Management” and worked to strategically promote health management. Specifically, for early detection and early treatment of lifestyle-related diseases, we conduct health checkups with more items than those required in statutory health checkups, as well as periodic checkups focusing on presenteeism (working while sick) and analysis of measurement data. In addition, we enhanced health guidance through in-house medical specialists and industrial physicians, and we improved our system by establishing a health consultation service. In June 2021, we vaccinated approximately 8,000 employees and their family members against COVID-19 in the workplace, in an effort to maintain the health of employees, who are essential workers responsible for the supply of food, and in addition, we also responded to the government’s request to reduce the burden on local communities of vaccination and to accelerate the vaccination process.
