As we celebrated the 80th anniversary of our founding, we established the long-term management goal, "N-FIT (Nichirei Future Innovative Tactics) 2035", a set of long-term management goals for 2035.

One of our long-term management goals is to “strengthen profitability and enhance capital efficiency.” Under our Medium-term Business Plan, “Compass × Growth 2027,” which will act as a milestone on the path to achieving this goal, we will focus on three core strategies:
　-“deepening areas of competitive advantages and leveraging Group synergies"
　-“overseas business expansion based on regional strategies"
　-“promoting human capital management and developing global governance"
To achieve these strategies, we believe the tangible and intangible assets that we have built up over the past 80 years will be essential, particularly human resources, which will be our biggest source of growth. All members of the Nichirei Group around the world will work together and exercise their highest level of performance to further enhance corporate value.

On April 1, 2026, we renewed our Corporate Philosophy. Based on food, we will act as a “connector,” connecting people, society, and the Earth with the future. In this role, we will accelerate the growth of the Nichirei Group and aim to become a company that can survive for a century, through repeated sustainable value creation. I would like to express our gratitude to all our shareholders and investors for your unwavering support.
