Waste Recycling, Food Loss Management, and Energy Conservation

「In terms of environmental initiatives, we have worked to reduce environmental impact by standardizing and renewing containers. To reduce food loss, we have continued working to reduce losses generated during the manufacturing process.」

「・Development of long-life products, including chilled and frozen products ・Donation of food materials in cooperation with food banks ・Reduction of food waste through food-waste processing equipment ・Introduction of energy-efficient equipment ・Use of renewable energy」

「To reduce plastic use, we proceeded with the switch to lightweight containers made of foamed material and promoted simpler, wrap-free packaging, among other initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions.」

「To reduce plastic use, we proceeded with the switch to lightweight containers made of foamed material and installed solar panels at the Hiroshima Plant, among other initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions.」

「To reduce plastic use, we proceeded with the switch to lightweight containers made of foamed material. We also installed additional food-waste processing equipment at the Keiji Plant to reduce waste.」

「To reduce plastic use, we proceeded with the switch to lightweight containers made of foamed material. We also installed additional food-waste processing equipment at the Keiji Plant and worked to reduce waste.」

「During the fiscal year, we continued actively reducing environmental impact in product development, including expanding lightweight containers and selling sandwiches using paper packaging. We also introduced solar power generation equipment at the Shikoku Plant and pursued waste-reduction initiatives at all plants.」

「In terms of the environment, we worked to reduce environmental impact and promote energy conservation and renewable energy in pursuit of a decarbonised society by switching to lightweight expanded-material containers to reduce plastic use, installing food waste processors at the Kansai, Keiji and Shikoku factories to reduce waste, and installing solar power generation equipment at the Shikoku factory.」

「We worked to reduce environmental impact, including by installing food-waste processing equipment at the Kansai, Keiji and Shikoku Plants to reduce waste.」

「We worked to reduce environmental impact, including by installing food-waste processing equipment at the Keiji and Shikoku Plants to reduce waste.」

「Going forward, we will continue working to reduce environmental impact with an awareness of the SDGs by introducing production equipment with high energy-saving effects, reducing waste generation and expanding the use of food banks.」

「In terms of the environment, we worked to reduce environmental impact by expanding bento containers made from material containing 25% biomass plastic and commencing sales of sandwiches using paper packaging.」

「In terms of the environment, we worked to reduce environmental impact by expanding bento containers made from material containing 25% biomass plastic and continuing test sales of sandwiches in paper packaging.」

「During the fiscal year, we pursued active environmental impact reduction in product development, including bento containers made from material containing 25% biomass plastic and test sales of sandwiches in paper packaging. We also attempted to utilise food banks and replaced products in factory vending machines with items such as paper cartons and PET bottles made using forest resources.」

「In terms of the environment, we worked to reduce environmental impact by selecting products containing biomass plastic for bento containers and consumables used at factories.」

「In terms of the environment, we worked to reduce environmental impact by introducing biomass plastic in some bento containers in addition to eco-trays.」

「To fulfill our social mission as a company, we worked to reduce food loss, including discarded food materials, and actively adopted environmentally friendly containers.」

「To reduce disposal volumes, we targeted food materials with high loss rates and monitored progress at operational management meetings attended by directors and senior employees. We also worked to introduce energy-efficient equipment when making capital investments. Going forward, we will continue introducing energy-efficient equipment and reducing disposal volumes by cutting food-material losses, while further reducing environmental impact by converting waste into animal feed.」

「We worked to reduce disposal volumes by cutting food-material losses, reducing waste by approximately 20 tonnes per month. We also introduced a high-frequency thawing machine capable of reducing water consumption by 600 tonnes per month and worked to reduce CO2 emissions by visualizing them.」

「In terms of costs, we faced higher prices for raw materials such as rice, chicken, nori and vegetables, and higher labour costs caused by staff shortages. However, while continuing to consolidate product items and integrate similar ingredients, we reviewed production processes, reduced the workforce required through machinery and equipment, strengthened labour management, and actively pursued initiatives to contain cost increases, including reducing material waste and improving production efficiency.」

「We actively pursued initiatives to contain cost increases, including improving production efficiency and reducing material losses.」

「We promoted sorting into RPF, a recycled resource, while enforcing disposal rules for leftover products and reducing disposal volumes by cutting food-material losses.」

「We worked to recycle waste by reducing food residues, converting them into animal feed and compost, and promoting sorting into RPF (refuse-derived fuel), a recycled resource. We also sought to improve energy savings by introducing new production equipment.」
