Our company's purpose, “Contributing to the realization of a sustainable society through the food business,” cannot be achieved without the success of our executives and employees.
As a company whose goal is “contributing to the realization of a sustainable society through the food business,” we consider the health of our officers and employees to be our greatest asset, and on health grounds we support the creation of a culture that allows them to participate in the workplace with passion, and also leads to an increase in the vitality and energy of the organization.
We believe that the health of our executives and employees, both physically and mentally, and the fulfillment of their work and life lives will lead to improved business performance and social recognition.
Creating an environment and culture that can continue to produce such results can be called “sustainable management” in terms of health.
We will continue to focus on supporting the health of our executives and employees who support Japan's food industry.

"Health" is the driving force for employees to embody purpose.
In the context of health, it's not just about the absence of injury or illness.
Even if one is dealing with injuries or illnesses, maintaining a balance of diet, sleep, and exercise, nurturing satisfactory relationships, and living with positive could still be considered a state of health.
By encouraging each employee to consistently prioritize their health and address evolving health challenges as they arise, it becomes possible to sustain a state of well-being over time.
Maintaining a state of well-being should not only enhance performance within the work environment but also enrich non-work hours, fostering self-growth and nurturing fulfilling interpersonal relationships.
Given that health is inherently intertwined with life, it is imperative for employees to maintain good health and strive to live ' cheerful, positive, vigorous.And it would be a great joy if employees could make society brighter and more enjoyable through their approach to food.
Health and Productivity Management Declaration

(１) Cheerful, positive, vigorous
As a company whose goal is “contributing to the realization of a sustainable society through the food business,” we consider the health of our officers and employees to be our greatest asset, and on health grounds we support the creation of a culture that allows them to participate in the workplace with passion, and also leads to an increase in the vitality and energy of the organization.

First, we will build a foundation to support the health of our officers and employees so that each and every one of them can work of their own volition and in good physical and mental health.
Our Definition of Health
As well as aiming for the definition of health as advocated by the World Health Organization, we have created additional definitions for being able to act independently and for being able to control both private and professional lives, as elements that can be felt to be part of good health.
If we achieve improvements in physical health, mental health, social health,independent action, and control of both private and professional lives, this will naturally lead to enhanced self-efficacy, which we believe will enable us to achieve the goals of the Health and Productivity Management Declaration.
- A sense of “I can handle it, I can get through it with my fellow” even when they are in difficult situations.
- A state of acceptance, respect, and smooth communication at work, in the local community, at home, and in friendships.
- A state in which they are actively learning and taking action to enrich their own lives.
- A state of feeling in control of one's own time in a variety of work styles.
