Since its foundation, the Company A Group has expanded its meat business, starting with the production of processed foods and securing fresh raw materials for its core business. In addition, we have expanded our business fields to include processed foods, processed marine products, dairy products, and healthy foods. In doing so, we have shared our passion for deliciousness and health with the people of the world, and have worked hard to deliver the world's best "eating joy".
Company A Group has three management axes in tackling its business. The first is to value the blessings of life. Our business starts with nurturing livestock life. We believe that it is the mission of a food company to fully utilize the blessings of life that have been carefully nurtured and to convey its importance through food education and advertising activities.
The second is to deliver "joy of eating" and contribute to people's enjoyable and healthy living. To achieve a sustainable society, Company A Group has set the basic theme of "joy of eating" in its corporate philosophy.
The third is to open up new possibilities for food. In the food business, we have always been challenging for possibilities, such as developing technologies and proposing new ways of eating. We have been working on basic research and have been developing functional materials such as placenta and collagen extracted from livestock by-products.
We will also actively promote environmental initiatives. We believe that it is an important responsibility for the Company A Group, which uses the bounty of life as the source of its business, to protect the global environment, which is the land that nurtures life and connects it to the next and subsequent generations. Company A Group aims to become an environmentally friendly company by promoting business activities and initiatives to improve the environmental performance of its products and will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
These efforts are paying off in terms of improving environmental performance. Regarding the environmental targets set forth in the new medium-term management plan started in fiscal 2015, in fiscal 2018 we reduced CO2 emissions by 5%, reduced waste generation by 3%, and improved the recycling rate by 10%. Going forward, we will work to improve the preservation of the global environment by minimizing the environmental impact of our business activities to achieve our goals.
