Reforming our corporate culture and mindset
Overview
In order for a company to adapt to a rapidly changing external environment and to constantly evolve, it is necessary to create an environment that is open and allows each and every employee to freely express his or her opinions. Toward the realization of "Joy for Life ®︎", which is the future we should aim for, we are working on Reforming our corporate culture and mindset along with reforms in the way we work, such as activities to spread our new corporate philosophy system, creating an environment where people can talk across organizational boundaries, and adopting a free address system to strengthen communication for the creation of innovation. We are also working on the creation of a free address system to enhance communication for the creation of innovation.

Corporate philosophy penetration activities
The corporate philosophy system newly established in April 2021 was divided into four steps: recognition, understanding, practice, and confirmation, and activities were carried out to disseminate it within the company. Specific activities include holding company-wide caravans (dialogue between the president and all employees) that have been held more than 100 times, informally discussing the corporate philosophy within the department and sharing it through internal social networking initiatives, and holding three meetings to confirm the level of understanding. We conducted a pulse survey once a month.
In 2023, we reviewed our corporate philosophy instillation activities in line with the organizational reform in July. After two years of activities, we have achieved a certain degree of penetration of our corporate philosophy, and from now on, we will renew our activities with the aim of improving engagement while keeping the corporate philosophy as an important pillar, and with the goal of enabling each employee to demonstrate their abilities.

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.

We are promoting communication among employees.
