The environment is one of the most critical issues we face as we enter the 21st century.
We live in an affluent society, enjoying the blessings of the Earth’s natural environment together with the benefits of modern civilization. In order to sustain our affluence, however, we are harnessing, consuming and destroying natural resources and energy in vast quantities. We are all now aware of global warming, acid rain, ozone depletion and other world-scale environmental problems that are putting the survival of the human race in jeopardy.
It is imperative that we take environmental factors into account in both our business activities and daily lives. We must leave our planet clean and beautiful for our children.
Applying the basic concept of “Producing Foods that Bring Happiness”, Nippon Ham Group has worked to expand relationships globally and contribute to the health and happiness of people all over the world.
Addressing environmental issues is something that we consider both our responsibility and our mission as a corporate entity. Respect for nature and realization of harmony and compatibility with the environment in our business activities are hereby proclaimed as part of Nippon Ham Group’s operational priorities.
We encourage each and every one of our employees to deepen their understanding of environmental issues and to exercise greater care for the environment both at work and at home.
