My name is Teru Tanaka, and I was appointed Representative Director, President & CEO of Nissui Corporation in May 2025. Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in operations rooted in both domestic and international settings, including executive responsibility for the Marine Products Business and the management of overseas Group companies. Building on these experiences and with a strong aspiration held firmly in my heart to pioneer the future of “food” and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, I will vigorously advance the Nissui Group’s sustainable growth and creation of new value.

In FY2025, we launched our Medium-Term Management Plan, GOOD FOODS Recipe2, as a new phase toward realizing our Long-Term Vision, GOOD FOODS 2030. Centered on the theme of “Enhancemant of value chain resilience,” the plan is built around three basic strategies: Strengthen business portfolio, Deepen Sustainability Management, and Strengthen Governance. Through these strategies, we aim to establish a management foundation capable of responding swiftly and flexibly to uncertain environmental changes and to accelerate value creation for the future. By “Enhancement of value chain resilience,” we refer specifically to the strengthening of four core capabilities: value creation, sustainability, risk response, and human capital.

Among these, in “Deepen Sustainability Management,” we aim to further integrate sustainability with our business strategy and to establish a clear competitive advantage by building a business model centered on sustainability. For the key issues identified in our materiality, we will pursue both social and financial value while placing strong emphasis on co-creation with stakeholders, both inside and outside the company. In addition, we will actively invest in the development of “human capital”—our key source of competitiveness—as well as in organizational development. At the same time, we will promote branding initiatives to enhance the overall presence of the Nissui Group.

Sustainability is a critical challenge that lies at the heart of our management and serves as the foundation for the Nissui Group’s future growth. By earnestly addressing the issues based on our material issues and continuously creating new value, we will strive to further enhance our corporate value. I hope we can continue working together to build a better future, and I humbly ask for your continued support.
