At the 21st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21), the Paris Agreement was adopted and a target was set to limit the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.
NH Foods Group is cognizant that climate change is a pressing issue in people’s lives and our business activities, and we are working to cut emissions throughout the Group such as by reducing CO2 emissions, using energy efficiently.

Conducting Life Cycle Assessment
We conduct assessment of products throughout their entire life cycle from the production of raw materials to disposal from the perspective of environmental impact.
Changes in CO2 Emissions and Energy Consumption
The Group will continue to promote measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions such as through energy-saving activities.
- Note1: Emissions basic unit
Primary unit of each intesity is per unit of product. - Note2: Transition of CO2 emissions about Scope 1,2 from fossil fuel and it's intensity.
Future Initiatives
The Group will determine greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire supply chain and take reduction measures.
