Targets and Results

The NH Foods Group has established environmental targets aimed at reducing environmental impacts through its three-year medium-term management plans. Recently, we re-evaluated the environmental burdens within our supply chain, identified high-impact areas as key items, and set new environmental targets with a mid- to long-term perspective, aiming for 2030 targets and a goal for 2050. We are committed to reducing environmental loads and working continuously towards the effective utilization of resources to realize a sustainable society.
