The business of the Ajinomoto Group is supported by sound food systems; or in other words, stable access to food resources and a verdant natural environment supporting these resources. At the same time, our business operations also have a major impact on the environment. Today, as the planet’s environment is reaching a tipping point, our ability to take action to regenerate the environment is an urgent issue for the continuity of the Group’s business operations. By addressing climate change, ensuring the sustainability of food resources, and conserving biodiversity to reduce our environmental impacts, and by regenerating the planet’s environment through the realization of a circular economy, we can sustainably execute initiatives for healthier, better living aimed at extending healthy life expectancy.</p> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-24 u-dp--pc"> <div class="c-media-block"> <figure class="c-media-block__figure " role="group"> <img src="https://www.ajinomoto.com/cms_wp_ajnmt_global/wp-content/uploads/page/png/outcome_img_01.png" width="848" height="792" alt="Sustainable food systems that are more resilient" loading="lazy" /> </figure> </div> </div> <div class="col-24 u-dp--sp"> <div class="c-media-block"> <figure class="c-media-block__figure " role="group"> <img src="https://www.ajinomoto.com/cms_wp_ajnmt_global/wp-content/uploads/page/png/outcome_img_01_sp.png" width="848" height="1167" alt="Sustainable food systems that are more resilient" loading="lazy" /> </figure> </div> </div> </div> <div class="c-text"><p>Through our business activities, we provide products and services that are tasty, nutritionally balanced, and of benefit for people’s dietary habits, and that further promote a reduced environmental impact caused by GHGs, plastic waste, and food loss and waste.
