Sustainability

COMPANIES is “Discovering new tastiness, Sharing moments of joy.” In order to continue to deliver safe and delicious food to our customers, it is essential to make sustainable efforts with an eye on the future in our business activities.
Above all, in these days when marine fishery resources are declining, we believe that “sustainable procurement of marine products” and “employment creation and diversity” in the regions where we carry out our business activities are important initiatives.
And, as the company name “FOOD & LIFE COMPANIES” shows, we will deepen our sustainable efforts, increase the number of COMPANIES (friends) who aspire together all over the world, and spread the joy of delicious food to every corner of the world. We will enrich people’s lives and lives.

Supports deliciousness
Safe, secure and sustainable procurement

As the global climate change, marine pollution caused by marine plastics, etc. become more serious, and the trend of fish consumption increases due to the growing global health consciousness, we will protect the marine fishery resources mainly handled by this COMPANIES and connect it to the future. Is a very important issue.
We are pursuing the sustainability of various marine fishery resources by thoroughly using each part properly so as not to waste the landed resources, and by providing technical support to processing factories including overseas.
By making stable, medium- to long-term contracts with producers and business partners, we can improve the quality of the ingredients we produce, which also leads to the continuous provision of safe, secure and delicious food to our customers. I am.
Looking to the future, we are also conducting research in the fields of advanced food tech such as biotechnology and genome editing technology with colleagues from all over the world (COMPANIES).

Continue to be delicious
Reduction of food loss and reduction of environmental load

“Use limited resources carefully”. This has been a spirit that has taken root since the company was founded, and it is a matter of course for us.
The development of menus using traditional Japanese cooking methods that allow you to enjoy delicious fish bones, and the construction of a scheme that uses up all the ingredients beyond the boundaries of the brand have naturally led to a reduction in food loss.
In addition, we can say that our strength is our industry-leading IT-based initiatives. By precisely predicting the number of customers visiting our stores and the products they require, we are not only reducing the amount of waste, but also saving labor for workers and improving customer satisfaction.
In the future, we will consider the global environment by introducing solar panels at the stores we operate and considering reducing greenhouse gas emissions by using renewable energy and expanding the use of energy storage in the event of a disaster. We will aim for a sustainable society by accelerating these efforts.
