■ Regarding the Publication of the "Impact Report 2025"
Since its establishment, our company has strived to achieve both business viability and social impact, pursuing the creation of positive impact on both fronts. The 2025 edition reviews a year of activities, including business expansion into the food sector and B Corp recertification, and discloses the process of trial and error, such as conflicts in balancing business activities and social aspects, and the search for systematic and structured impact pursuit.
In 2025, with the expansion of our business into the food sector, the challenges and impacts that our company must address became more profound. It was a year of advancing foundational development to concretize the difficult path of addressing impact creation in the food sector while looking ahead to the realization of a circular resource society.
Going forward, we will strive to realize more fundamental impact creation by promoting impact creation in a more organized and systematic manner, and by understanding and improving our negative impact as much as our positive impact.
