Joy for Life ®- Bringing joy to the future by food
We will focus on co-existence and co-creation and take on new challenges to create new value in society.
Amid a growing worldwide population and a dwindling birthrate and aging population in Japan, we face an array of challenges, including calls to lower our impact on the environment, and addressing issues of food resources. In addition, the global situation has changed significantly in recent years, and uncertainly has grown.
As a company that supports society through food, we work to understand the external environment, respond to social issues and changes with a sense of speed, and fulfill our responsibility to provide a stable supply of safe and reliable products. At the same time, we will strive to meet our strategic targets: expanding our range of high-value-added products, accelerating overseas expansion, and enhancing the profitability of our general-purpose oils. As a result, we aim to grow sustainably into the future and enhance corporate value.
We have formulated “Joy for Life ®: Bringing joy to the future by food” as the corporate philosophy that represents the future we aim for. Through products and services that embody good taste, health, and low burden, we will foster the joy of preparing and eating food. At the same time, we will squarely address issues such as reducing environmental impact, contributing to people's well-being, and respecting human rights. Starting with the oil that is indispensable to daily life, we seek to unlock the potential of nature's bounty in a way that makes a genuine contribution to people's lifestyles—this is the true value and purpose of our company. No matter how times change, we will continue to join with our colleagues in transcending boundaries, preconceived notions, and limitations as we work together to overcome the challenges we face.
We will foster an organizational culture replete with the mindset of “Co-existence & Co-creation” as we continue unflinchingly to take on challenges amid the changing times. In this way, we will fulfill our responsibilities as a food company firmly committed to creating value for society going forward. We ask for your ongoing support of the Company.

平素は格別のお引き立てを賜り、厚くお礼申し上げます。
As the global population increases and Japan's population continues to age and decline, we are faced with a variety of issues, including the need to reduce environmental impact and food resource problems. Furthermore, the world situation has been undergoing major changes in recent years and is becoming increasingly uncertain.
As the environment surrounding us changes rapidly, as a company that supports food, we will appropriately grasp the external environment, respond swiftly to social issues and changes, and fulfill our responsibility to steadily supply safe and secure products.
Our company's corporate philosophy is based on the idea of "Joy for Life ®-Bringing joy to the future by food." Through products and services that embody "good taste, health, and low burden," we aim to create the joy of "eating" and "making," while also tackling various issues head-on, such as reducing environmental impact, contributing to people's well-being, and respecting human rights. Starting from oil, which is indispensable to life, we draw out the potential of the blessings of nature and contribute to people in a sincere manner. This is our value and reason for existence, and we will always connect with our colleagues and take on challenges together, going beyond the boundaries of fields, common sense, and limitations.
We will create a corporate culture where "coexistence and co-creation" can be born everywhere, continue to boldly take on challenges without hesitation in the face of changing times, and have a strong resolve to create value for society in the future, as we fulfill our responsibilities as a food company. We ask for your continued support.
