Summary of FY2025

Redefining the Role and Value of Corporate Cafeterias

Shinko Create Co., Ltd., as the food business division within the Shinko Holdings Group, has contributed to the health of employees and the improvement of corporate value through the operation of corporate cafeterias. FY2025 marked a year of significant change in the role of corporate cafeterias. Beyond mere welfare benefits, their value as a "management resource" contributing to employee retention, productivity improvement, and the realization of health management is increasingly in demand. We have promoted the strengthening of our business foundation by optimizing contract terms and service content, striving for a balance between value provided and profitability.

Value Provided to Client Companies

Contribution to Organizational Revitalization through "Food"

Corporate cafeterias are not merely places for meal provision but are crucial communication infrastructure connecting companies and employees. Our services contribute to the organizational revitalization of client companies through improved employee satisfaction, health maintenance, and workplace environment enhancement. In FY2025, we saw an increase in opportunities for clients to reconfirm the value of cafeterias through improved utilization rates and stable quality.

Challenges in FY2025

Balancing Sustainable Operation and Value Provision

The balancing of cost and value has become a significant challenge due to rising prices of raw materials, logistics, and labor costs. Furthermore, with the diversification of customer needs, there is a demand for individually optimized service designs. We are redefining the ideal corporate cafeteria, not just in terms of operational efficiency, but also in how it enhances corporate value. ■Outlook for FY2026 and Beyond

Deepening Basic Value and Enhancing Provided Value

In FY2026, we will promote our business centered on "deepening basic value" and "advancing provided value." In addition to thoroughly implementing basics such as food quality, hygiene, and service, we will strengthen data-driven improvements and flexible service provision. We aim to create value that positions corporate cafeterias as an "investment" rather than a "cost." Looking ahead, we will strive to enhance the quality of life for working people through corporate cafeterias and contribute to the sustainable growth of our client companies.

Representative Comment | Shinko Create Co., Ltd. Representative Director Etsuko Mio

FY2025 was a year of significant change in the value of corporate cafeterias. Their importance is being re-recognized not just as meal providers, but as entities directly linked to corporate productivity and employee satisfaction. For our company as well, we were able to elevate our business foundation by addressing the balance between the value we provide and profitability. On the other hand, the challenges ahead are clear: to build an organization that can consistently replicate fundamentals with high precision, rather than relying on special measures. In FY2026, we aim to provide even greater value, so that corporate cafeterias are perceived as an "investment" rather than a "cost." To expand the potential of people and companies through food. That is our mission.
