The Food Education Practice Excellent Corporation Commendation System is a new public-private partnership initiative promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Its purpose is to promote "adult food education," particularly among the working generation, by evaluating and commending companies' initiatives that contribute to improving employees' dietary habits, and to disseminate best practices. This system is linked to the Certified Health & Productivity Management Organization Recognition Program (White 500) and provides a more concrete framework for evaluating food education initiatives in the workplace.

Background of Renaissance's Commitment to Food Education

Under its corporate philosophy of "Creating a Purpose in Life," the Company promotes a workplace where each employee can work vibrantly and continuously.

Following the results of regular health check-ups, which revealed challenges in employees' dietary habits, we strongly recognized the need for support that leads to daily behavioral changes, rather than just temporary measures.

Furthermore, with numerous facilities nationwide and diverse work styles such as shift work and night shifts, support tailored to individual work styles and living environments is essential. Against this backdrop, the Company has continuously focused on health promotion centered on food as a key initiative in its health management.
