Since Minejiro Yamazaki, the founder of S&B, became the first person to successfully manufacture curry powder locally in Japan in 1923, we at the S&B Foods Group have continued to deliver a variety of products to customers, including curries, peppers, wasabi, and other spices and condiments, as well as instant foods, enabling customers to experience spices and herbs at home.
Today, the food-related environment faces various threats such as climate change and natural disasters, as well as changes in economic and social conditions, placing it in a highly uncertain and unpredictable environment. Our perpetual existence and growth as a company that provides value to society are predicated on our initiatives to achieve sustainability. For our group, which operates with spices and herbs at the core of business, pursuing sustainability means striving for harmony with society and the environment while conducting business activities based on our philosophy, vision, and code of conduct.
Under our Corporate Philosophy, “Bring natural life and happiness to every household,” we will continue to engage actively in efforts to achieve our key activity goals, such as “Reduce environmental impact,” “Socially and environmentally minded product supply,” and “Promote diversity adapted to global society.” Through these efforts, we aim to help people to enjoy healthy lifestyles, contribute to conserving the global environment, and give shape to our vision for a “flavorful, healthy and bright future.”
We will achieve sustainable growth by creating even greater social and economic value, endeavoring to be a company that is trusted and chosen by all our stakeholders.
I look forward to your continued understanding and support.
