Corporate philosophy penetration activities
In response to the organizational reform in July 2023, we have reviewed our activities to promote the corporate philosophy system established in 2021. After two years of activities, we have achieved a certain level of penetration, and going forward, we will aim to improve engagement while placing the corporate philosophy as an important pillar, and restructure our activities with the goal of enabling each employee to demonstrate their abilities. To improve engagement, we analyze the results of the engagement survey for each organization, identify issues, formulate directions for activities, and set goals for what activities all employees will engage in over the course of a year. In addition, we conducted a pulse survey in 2024 to measure progress.

Utilization of internal bulletin board (SNS)
In July 2018, we began operating a new internal SNS as a place for information sharing to allow each employee to disseminate their own know-how and information and to collaborate across organizational boundaries.
We create communities for each theme, such as introducing daily work, product information, and cooking prototypes, and actively communicate among employees working in our Group.
Additionally, since April 2018, we have been operating a linkage board (internal bulletin board). The linkage board is an internal communication tool that allows employees to share information through simple posts, and any employee of our Group can view and post on it, in order to further invigorate internal exchanges. -

In order to deepen friendships among employees across the company, beyond departmental boundaries, and to revitalize the company and create a more open-minded organization, we provide assistance to club activities that meet certain standards, and provide support through club activities. We are promoting communication among employees.
