Basic Approach

The Shibuya Group has established the Basic Sustainability Policy of the Shibuya Group and is promoting environmental management. Specifically, in response to customers’ needs for resource conservation, energy efficiency, and decarbonization, we are undertaking initiatives aimed at contributing to decarbonization, including the development of manufacturing systems such as those described below and the formulation of Green Procurement Guidelines to reduce environmental impact across the supply chain.

Examples of Manufacturing Systems Supporting Resource Conservation, Energy Efficiency, and Decarbonization

• Reduction in Plastic Use (through changes in packaging materials and reduced packaging loss)
• Reduction in Water Use (through new product development and changes to cleaning and sterilization methods)
• Reduction in Electricity Use (through new product development, smaller size, and higher speed)
• Reduction in Food Waste (through food roasting, surface sterilization, and reduced damage)
• Reduction in CO2 Emissions (through new product development)

Employee Education and Training

We have positioned the promotion of sustainability management as one of our management policies. To raise environmental awareness among all employees and encourage proactive initiatives, we provide various environmental education and awareness programs.

We also provide employees with educational opportunities, including e-learning, to help them gain a broad, foundational understanding of environmental management.
