Basic Views
Water is a key resource that is essential for our business activities. There are concerns that regions where access to water will deteriorate (water stress) as a result of climate change and economic activity will increase around the world. It is with this understanding that the NH Foods Group strives to reduce its environmental impact by effectively using limited water resources in its business activities and by discharging wastewater following proper treatment.
Targets
From the perspective of optimizing the use of water resources and addressing water risks, we have established the following medium- and long-term environmental targets. The NH Foods Group is continuing its business operations to achieve these targets by engaging in water-saving activities at all of its domestic and overseas bases in accordance with regional and site conditions, installing water-saving facilities, utilizing reused water, and making use of rainwater.In particular, in regions with high water risks in Japan and overseas, we are working to reduce risks by collaborating with local governments and related organizations.
- Reduce water consumption per unit of production
- Japan: 5% reduction compared to FY2019
- Overseas: 5% reduction compared to FY2021
- Identify regions with high water risk at domestic and overseas sites, and implement risk mitigation measures according to the circumstances of each region to ensure sustainable use of water resources
