Initiatives

Nichirei implements initiatives to stop global warming and promote resource recycling.

Nichirei’s global warming-related and resource-recycling promotion initiatives

Initiatives in production regions: We promote sustainable procurement in symbiosis with nature and neighborhoods through the promotion of recycling livestock agriculture via proactive fertilizer and feed regeneration, as well as the suppression of methane gas emissions from cattle.

Initiatives in logistics and factories: We are undertaking proactive initiatives in our cold storage facilities, logistics centers, and manufacturing and processing plants. Our plans include the reduction of NOx, SOx, and PM emissions, and promotion of solar energy.

Initiatives in retail stores and customer-related areas: We contribute to the reduction of waste in society at large by supporting forest conservation activities and reevaluating containers and packaging.

Initiatives at headquarters and our offices: Every employee participates in our environmental conservation management, which includes the implementation of energy-saving air conditioning and light fixtures, and the real-time monitoring of electricity use in our technological development centers.

Management of other chemical substances: We deal with asbestos and soil contamination-by using pollutant release and transfer register (PRTR) systems that collect and disseminate information on environmental releases and the transfers of toxic chemicals from industrial and other facilities; polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
