Sustainability of Marine Resources
As there are concerns over the depletion of the world's marine resources, the preservation and sustainable use of marine resources is a pressing issue for the Nissui Group, which is engaged in businesses that utilize the bounty of the sea. We will promote the establishment of businesses that are sustainable in the medium- to long-term, through the handling of marine products whose resource status has been checked, the development of aquaculture technology with low environmental impact, and the acquisition of marine eco-label certification. To meet market demand into the future, we will endeavor to utilize marine products in a sustainable manner.
The Nissui Group is committed to complying with treaties and laws related to biodiversity and to contributing to the realization of a society that is in harmony with nature. For marine resources at high risk of depletion, procurement will be suspended if scientific and practical measures are not taken to recover the resources by 2030.
