Enhancing corporate value through business growth and sustainability management practices
At Calbee, our corporate philosophy is to harness nature's gifts to create great-tasting and fun experiences, all while promoting healthier lifestyles. In line with this philosophy, our mission is to connect nature with consumers and engage in activities that benefit society.
Our business environment, however, has become increasingly uncertain and compels us 賭博 オンラインddress a broad range of global social issues. Our operations are particularly vulnerable to climate change, for example, due to our reliance on natural ingredients such as potatoes. Like other crops, potatoes are highly sensitive to changes in temperature. We also face challenges such as an aging agricultural workforce and sustainable farming practices in Japan.
賭博 オンラインddress such issues, Calbee is implementing a range of initiatives to support agricultural industries while working closely with all our stakeholders. Our initiatives include developing new potato varieties such as “Poroshiri,” which are more resistant to diseases, pests and environmental changes. We also established a contractor business model that handles parts of the cultivation and harvesting process for farmers.
Globally, consumers increasingly demand products made by companies that stand for human rights and minimize their impact on planet, including natural resources. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a global non-profit organization, is committed to enhancing environmental protection and human rights in the palm oil supply chain. Calbee today uses RSPO-certified palm oil at all of its factories in Japan, meeting our 2030 target of using 100% certified palm ahead of schedule. In line with our support, we display RSPO labels on some of our flagship products packaging.
Going forward, Calbee will continue 賭博 オンラインddress global social challenges. We are committed to increasing our corporate value by achieving sustainable business growth and promoting sustainability management practices.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our stakeholders for their continued support, and look forward 賭博 オンライン long-lasting partnership.
