Wismettac Group aims at contributing to a sustainable society through food and has established its “Sustainability Basic Policy” to promote ESG initiatives.
As a global company in the food industry, we support initiatives toward the realization of a sustainable society through food. In furtherance of our commitment to sustainability initiatives, in June 2024, the Wismettac Group joined The Consumer Goods Forum (hereinafter "CGF").
CGF designates every October as the “Food Loss Reduction Month”. Here, we highlight our UK subsidiary, Wismettac Harro Foods Ltd.’s (hereinafter Harro Foods) efforts to reduce food loss and waste.
Harro Foods is actively working to reduce its environmental impact. For example, in 2025, Harro Foods continues the tradition of donating surplus food to London charity City Harvest, contributing to the thousands of meals they provide for free across the capital every week.
Harro Foods has also implemented an in-house recycling programme which has resulted in a significant decrease in the amount of waste sent to landfill. Harro Foods employee-generated food waste is separated for composting and repurposed as a valuable resource.
These activities align with the key issues under Wismettac Group’s Basic Sustainability Policy, particularly Environment (Contributions to the global environment and Support circular economy) and Social (Ensure food safety and quality and Contribute to a sustainable society).
Reducing food loss and waste is an initiative that brings not only economic value but also significant benefits to people’s health and the global environment. Wismettac Group proudly supports CGF and Japan’s Consumer Affairs Agency’s “Food Loss Reduction Month”. Together with our domestic and overseas group companies, we continue to work in partnership with consumers and society to expand initiatives toward building a sustainable society.
