"Contribute to a healthy lifestyle with food safety and security": This is one of the key issues in sustainability set forth by the Nissui Group. We are providing aid to people including those who are in hardship due to their lives being heavily impacted by the spread of the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and healthcare professionals who are making all-out efforts at the front line of medical examination and treatment. Going forward, we will continue to take measures to prevent infections in a thoroughgoing manner, endeavor to ensure the safety of our business partners as well as employees and fulfill our responsibilities as a food producer/supplier, and also continue looking into what we can do to contribute to society and put it into practice.
