We will strive to realize our long-term vision with sustainable growth and strong organizational development through creation of value in human capital.

Nissui Corporation
Executive Officer, In Charge of Human Resources

For the Nissui Group, our people are the key element driving the creation of social and environmental value, which lead to financial value. My duty as part of the management team is to cultivate talent who can realize innovation related to food and value creation by tackling new challenges while embodying our mission.
Our intent since the Company was founded has been to resolve issues relating to food—a commitment that is also seen in the Founding Principles and Five Genes—an approach that has also taken root among our employees. We believe that increasing value in human capital means two things: each employee refuses to be satisfied with the status quo and willingly embraces change and action, and our organizational culture evolves to recognize and celebrate such initiative. By attracting and developing people who continue to explore and create value on their own, and by building a culture in which talent can thrive, we will create social and environmental value, which in turn will drive financial value.

With the increasing complexity and uncertainty of the business landscape, fueled by factors such as climate change and geopolitical risks, balancing solutions to societal issues with economic growth is not easy. The Nissui Group employs more than 19,000 people (including temporary employees) worldwide. It is the knowledge and experience of such employees, each of whom has their own diverse values, that generates innovation, leading to the creation of innovative food solutions. We hope to make that a driving force for sustainable growth.

In April 2025, as guidance on human capital to embody our mission (brand promise) and realize our long-term vision, we formulated the Human Capital Management Policy, clarifying both what the Company expects from employees (“5Words”) and what the Company will provide to employees.
As key human capital strategies to realize the 5Words, we will focus on: (1) shifting talent to growth areas, (2) establishing mechanisms that support individual career autonomy and diversity, and (3) redesigning systems and mechanisms to embed desired behaviors. In addition, an organizational culture characterized by high psychological safety, in which employees can exchange opinions freely and engage in discussion, is also an important element for enhancing corporate value, and we intend to make our organizational culture one that, while deepening empathy with our mission (brand promise), supports employees as they take on challenges. Even as work styles and values diversify, by promoting each individual’s autonomous growth and cultivating a resilient, adaptive, and strong organization that can adapt to change, we aim to realize the long-term vision and the sustainable enhancement of corporate value.
