Climate Change

Overview

As a company that relies on natural resources for many of its raw materials, responding to climate change is an important issues. Overseas grain prices for soybean, rapeseed, and other raw materials used in edible oils fluctuate significantly due to changes in the supply and demand balance caused by weather. If global warming becomes more serious in the future, there is a risk that it will become difficult to procure the raw materials themselves. We are working together with stakeholders to further reduce emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO₂ throughout our value chain, reduce the burden on the global environment, and pursue a sustainable business model.
At each of our domestic and overseas bases, we support laws, regulations (in Japan, the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures (Global Warming Act) and the Act on Rational Use of Energy (Energy Conservation Act)) and policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation, and are taking appropriate measures to comply with these.
