In May 2025, I, Teru Tanaka, assumed the role of Representative Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Nissui Corporation. Over the years, I have been deeply involved in the management of the marine business as well as the leadership of overseas group companies, with a focus on business operations rooted in the realities of both domestic and international markets. Leveraging this experience, I am now determined to drive the Nissui Group’s sustainable growth and create new value with a strong commitment to pioneering the future of food and contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.

From FY2025, we have launched the new Mid-Term Business Plan, "GOOD FOODS Recipe2," as a new stage toward achieving our long-term vision, "GOOD FOODS 2030." This plan is based on three strategic pillars: "Strengthening the Value Chain," "Deepening Sustainability Management," and "Enhancing Governance." Our aim is to build a resilient management foundation capable of responding flexibly and rapidly to uncertain environmental changes, accelerating value creation for the future. We define "Strengthening the Value Chain" as enhancing four key capabilities: value creation, sustainability, risk management, and human capital. Guided by three fundamental strategies, we will steadily advance our initiatives.

In particular, in the area of "Deepening Sustainability Management," one of the three fundamental strategies, we will further integrate sustainability with our business strategy, aiming to establish a robust competitive advantage through a business model rooted in sustainability. We will prioritize co-creation with stakeholders both inside and outside the company in addressing the key issues identified in our Material Issues, striving to balance social value and economic value. Additionally, we will focus on developing and empowering our human capital, which is the source of our competitive strength, while enhancing our brand presence through branding initiatives across the Group.

Sustainability is a fundamental pillar of growth for the Nissui Group and a central challenge at the core of our management. By sincerely addressing the challenges identified in our Material Issues and continuously creating new value, we will aim to further enhance our corporate value. We look forward to continuing to build a better future together with all of you and sincerely ask for your continued warm support.
