Governance structure

Basic Stance

We believe that our corporate philosophy, the Three Corporate Principles, and our corporate activities based on the principles of fairness and justice will continue to enhance our corporate value. We have also defined “contributing to the realization of a sustainable society through the food business” + “simultaneous resolution of key sustainability issues” as our Purpose, and believe that achieving this Purpose will satisfy the expectations of our business partners, and other stakeholders.
Based on this belief, to ensure sound, transparent, and efficient management, we have designated continuous enhancement of corporate governance as an important management issue and strived to build necessary systems; for example, based on the Audit & Supervisory Board system, we have worked to speed up and improve the efficiency of decision-making and business execution by introducing an executive officer system, among other efforts.
