The Nissui Group thinks CO2 emissions, water use and waste production as three important benchmarks, and has since been making efforts to reduce environmental impact. In fiscal 2021, we formulated our long-term vision "Good Foods 2030"/mid-term business plan "Good Foods Recipe1" and set ambitious targets for reducing environmental impact.

Mogami Foods, which is one of the Nissui Group companies, manufactures frozen prepared food products. In FY2022, Mogami Foods carried out an update of the vacuum cooler on its ingredients line at the plant. At that time, the existing outdoor unit was also switched from a cooling tower system to a chiller, and one cooling tower that was no longer required was removed. Previously, water loss due to evaporation had occurred in the cooling tower. However, this switch solved the problem and has led to a reduction in water consumption. In addition, the company made other changes, such as replacing components on the production line; all these efforts combined are linked to a total reduction in water use of approximately 2,200 cubic meters per year.

A number of global standards are available for evaluating water risk. In fiscal 2022, the Group applied Aqueduct, a standard of the World Resources Institute (WRI), to evaluate individual manufacturing and logistics sites in Japan and outside Japan. Going forward, the Group will continue to implement measures to reduce water use and explore ways of refining methods of evaluating water risk.
