Background
While modern diet is richer and more abundant than ever, we see many food-related problems, such as obesity due to excessive calories and hidden malnutrition due to inappropriate dieting. By improving the value of food, Nissin Foods will take on the challenge to solve these global social issues.
Developing the Market for Delicious Complete Nutrition Meals
We will strive to make delicious, complete nutrition foods available anytime, anywhere. In addition, we will build services that will help people stay healthy throughout their lives, such as linking food intake and health data.
Expansion of Values Through the Integration of New and Existing Businesses
We will contribute to enhancing product value and solving social issues through synergies with existing global brands such as Cup Noodles.
Human Resources to Support Our Strategies/Organizational Foundation Reform
To create an innovative organization capable of executing strategies and creating new food cultures, we will define and implement a transformation roadmap as the first step toward establishing a NISSIN-style job-based model.
Approach to Sustainable Profit Growth
We have defined core operating profit of existing businesses as an indicator showing the real growth of our existing businesses, which serve as the foundation for growth investment. Here, we have set growth in the mid-single digits as our core economic value target.
Quantitative Targets
NISSIN FOODS Group is committed to achieving four mid- to long-term economic value (financial) targets through CSV management: (1) Sustainable profit growth, (2) Efficient use of capital, (3) Safe use of debt, and (4) Stable shareholder returns. The group will pursue these targets while also pursuing targets related to social value and environmental value (non-financial).
