Policies

The depletion of water resources has a severe impact on the stable production of food. The NISSIN FOODS Group clarifies our stance of complying with the environmental laws and regulations of each country and procuring raw materials produced with consideration for the sustainability of the earth and the environment in our Policy on Sustainable Procurement. The reduction of water use is also stated as an important theme of our environmental strategy EARTH FOOD CHALLENGE 2030.
Toward efficient use of water resources, one of our policies is to evaluate water usage and efficiency of manufacturing plants of Group companies in Japan using our own standards.
Furthermore, seeking water usage reduction and efficient management, we strive to improve the awareness of our employees by widely disseminating the Group’s targets and state of achievement for those targets.

Targets

Under our environmental strategy EARTH FOOD CHALLENGE 2030, our goal for water usage at manufacturing plants is 12.3 m3 per ¥ 1 million in sales (IFRS standard) by FY 3/2031.

Initiatives

Reduction of Water Usage

Manufacturing plants—both in Japan and overseas—of the NISSIN FOODS Group are working to reduce the use of water necessary for manufacturing processes and to reuse water for cooling in manufacturing processes for washing equipment or other purposes. In addition, the Kansai Plant of NISSIN FOOD PRODUCTS is reducing its water use by introducing AI into water treatment processes. Previously, the operator determined the number of times and hours of washing the water treatment equipment (filtering machine), and washed them manually. By using AI to determine frequency and time for automated washing, it is possible to minimize the amount of water used for equipment washing.
