■Basic Sustainability Policy, Key Issues ("Materiality") and Challenges of Sustainable Management

We, Wismettac Group, aim to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through food. In order to widely and clearly demonstrate our stance toward this goal both internally and externally, we have formulated the "Basic Sustainability Policy". In addition, we have identified key issues (materiality) and challenges to be addressed in sustainable management. Measures will be taken to overcome these findings as a priority over the long term, based on this policy.

 

【Measures for the Sustainability】

The unique strengths of the Company are its extensive worldwide network established over the years since its foundation and its advanced business platform for the smooth transport of goods globally. Our business platform allows the entire process from planning and development to the sale and distribution of goods to take place in a seamless manner. We are committed to focusing on our strengths to achieve the following goals: (i) expand the scale of our existing businesses and improve profitability; (ii) develop DX initiatives and platforms in food distribution and logistics; (iii) create new businesses by integrating our food and non-food businesses; (iv) ensure food safety and compliance for sustainable global distribution; and (v) strengthen our international regional management and governance. Our Basic Sustainability Policy aims to provide solutions to global social issues and promote sustainable development by leveraging Wismettac’s unique strengths as an exceptional food service company.
