The NH Foods Group is committed to delivering on our corporate philosophy of the joy of eating as we strive to achieve our Vision 2030, defined as Unleash new potentials for protein, by the year 2030.
In recent years, the world has faced rapid waves of change, and the environment surrounding food is encountering many challenges. Global population growth, climate change, geopolitical risks, and shifts in dietary habits are all intricately woven factors that impact our dining tables and businesses. In this environment, we are dedicated to improving our sustainable corporate value, focusing on Working together to create value through protein.
The NH Foods Group is unique in the food industry, not only engaged in the manufacture and sale of ham, sausages, and processed foods but also in livestock farming. Utilizing this distinctive business characteristic, we are committed to contributing to the resolution of global environmental and social issues, as well as undertaking the mission of contributing to the sustainable development of Japan's livestock industry through the value chain. To fulfill this mission, we continue to develop and promote the smart pig farming system PIG LABO®, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, promote animal welfare, and ease the burden on livestock farmers.
In the processed foods business, we are advancing initiatives for the continuous reduction of plastic used in product packaging and the development of health-conscious products. These efforts aim not only to alleviate environmental burdens but also to contribute to the healthy and enriched lives of our customers.
Supporting these endeavors are our people, as employees represent a crucial foundation for the management of the NH Foods Group. By recognizing diversity and constantly seeking transformation, we aim to foster a corporate culture that allows employees to feel engaged and thrive.
Moreover, to create new value, co-creation with various partners is essential. We will continue to engage in dialogue with our stakeholders, strengthening our sustainability initiatives while pursuing the distinctive aspects of the NH Foods Group, as we work towards enhancing sustainable corporate value and developing our business.
