The Sustainability Newsletter

Let’s Listen to the Voice of the Sea, an employee newsletter, is published once or twice a month as a way of disseminating Sustainable activities throughout Nissui. The newsletter posts and shares such information as the approach to Sustainability, the progress being made by the subcommittees for each of their key issues and Sustainability events in which the employees participated. The newsletter was launched in April 2016. Each issue from the inaugural issue to the 54th issue was collected and compiled as a booklet and distributed to the Nissui Group companies. Since then, the newsletter has been distributed simultaneously to the Nissui Group companies, and published 121 issues to date.

Employee Training

With the aim of instilling activities to promote sustainability and raising awareness of such activities more smoothly within the company, training is conducted periodically for “Sustainability Promotion Committee Members,” one of whom is appointed in each department. Members who participated in the training are required to share the training content in their respective departments at a later date in an effort to instill activities to promote sustainability within the company.
In fiscal 2023, training was conducted 4 times, in which the members participated from all departments of Nissui Corporation, Ltd.

E-Learning Based Comprehension and Recognition Survey

Nissui conducts an annual “Sustainability Comprehension and Recognition Survey” utilizing e-learning to assess the level of awareness and understanding of sustainability among employees. In fiscal 2023, 1,839 individuals responded to the survey, which is targeted at all Nissui executives and employees, including those on temporary assignments. The percentage of those who respond “I feel that my job is related to sustainability” has been increasing each year, and Nissui will continue efforts to promote and raise awareness of sustainability activities, with the aim of achieving even greater engagement and participation.
