Greeting
I assumed the role of president and CEO of J-Oil Mills in April 2025. I would like to begin by expressing my sincere gratitude for your continued support and patronage.
This year marks the 21st anniversary of the J-Oil Mills Group. Looking back, however, our roots date back more than a century to the founding of our original operating companies. Throughout this long history, we have weathered various challenges and continually contributed to shaping new food cultures—always grounded in our commitment to edible oils, which are indispensable to daily life.
Today, the external environment surrounding the food industry remains challenging. Domestically, overall demand for food is expected to decline gradually due to Japan's shrinking population. Globally, climate changes and sharp currency fluctuations are affecting procurement of raw materials and energy. We believe, however, growing awareness of sustainability issues will present opportunities for our future growth, which will enable us to contribute to realization of a sustainable society. With this in mind, we will continue to operate our businesses with respect for human rights and efforts to reduce environmental impact. We are also committed to advancing sustainable sourcing throughout our supply chain, as we strive to achieve long-term growth and enhance corporate value.
The value and purpose of the J-Oil Mills Group lies in its ability to reap nature's potential and support efforts to supply food with reliable quality. Going forward, we will continue working together with all of you to realize a sustainable society, as we strive to realize our vision for the future: “Joy for Life®: Bringing joy to the future by food.”

In April 2025, I assumed the position of President of J-OIL MILLS.
J-OIL MILLS Group This year marks the 21st anniversary of the foundation of the company, and in its history of more than a century since the foundation of the underlying operating companies, the company has overcome major changes of the times and has created a new food culture based on "oil", which is indispensable to our daily lives.
And now, the external environment surrounding the food industry is expected to remain challenging, with declining demand due to a shrinking domestic population and adverse effects on energy and raw material procurement due to climate change and rapid exchange rate fluctuations. On the other hand, the growing internal awareness of sustainability is a future growth platform that will create new markets for our company Group and lead to a sustainable society. We will continue to make environmental impact reduction initiatives and respect for human rights a prerequisite for our corporate activities, strive to promote sustainable procurement in our supply chain, and promote sustainability management in order to achieve long-term growth and increase corporate value.
The value and raison d'etre of our company Group lies in extracting potential from nature's bounty and supporting food with reliable quality. We will continue to work together with you to realize a sustainable society toward the future "Joy for Life®-Bringing joy to the future by food ®-" that we should aim for.
