ESG
As a food & beverage company, the company recognizes food waste reduction as a key challenge and is formulating countermeasures addressing both "unsold food" and "leftover food." On the human resources front, the company promotes talent development and appropriate placement regardless of gender or nationality, and has set a target of raising the ratio of female managers to 30% or more by fiscal year 2029. Currently, the ratio of female managers stands at 0.0%, and the male childcare leave utilization rate is also 0.0%, leaving challenges to be addressed. No dedicated sustainability department has been established; the company addresses these matters through a structure centered on the Representative Director and President.
