A sustainable growth policy centered on human capital and diversity as material issues

「We identified the following 6 materiality issues: “Reducing environmental impact and promoting resource circulation”; “Building sustainable food infrastructure and coexistence with producers”; “Resolving local issues and co-creating communities through food infrastructure”; “Achieving well-being through delicious and enjoyable dining”; “Enabling diverse talent to thrive and strengthening human capital”; and “Building highly transparent group governance and a resilient management foundation.”」

「Taking into account the current business environment surrounding our group, we have designated the following 3 areas as important sustainability issues and will work to create social and economic value and help realize a sustainable society: 1. Addressing the environment and climate change　2. Developing the internal environment and talent to strengthen human capital　3. Addressing community creation」

「For our group, which has close ties to nature, climate change is becoming a greater risk each year. We also believe that, as we expand our business and continuously address new social issues, human capital and diversity are important in terms of developing people who can excel and incorporating a variety of perspectives. Accordingly, we have designated these 2 areas as important sustainability issues.」
