At S&B Foods, we formulate the S&B Foods Mission (key issues) based on the external environment affecting our business.
While carrying out the Second Medium-Term Business Plan, creating value across the entire value chain helps us aim to achieve a sustainable business, society, and our vision.
Value Creation StoryS&B Foods Sustainability
Sustainability Promotion Framework
At S&B Foods, the "Sustainability Committee" heled by the President is convened twice per year in order to promote ESG management.
The committee also includes the Environment Group, Sustainable Product Development Group, Sustainable Procurement Promotion Group, and the Engagement Promotion Group. These four organizations help set, monitor the progress, and evaluate the accomplishment of ESG-related goals.
Materiality Identification Process
With the cooperation of outside experts, we have comprehensively selected social issues relevant to the food industry, evaluating their importance by having internal and external stakeholders answer questionnaires.
Based on the results, we have identified issues that are highly important to S&B Foods as materiality (S&B Foods Mission).
