Basic Approach

The Maruha Nichiro Group is closely involved not only with customers who buy products, but many stakeholders including employees, suppliers, nearby residents, shareholders and investors, along with the global environment.

It is essential to build trustful relationships with stakeholders in order to continually improve corporate value. Therefore, we create opportunities to provide information about the Group and listen to stakeholders' expectations and opinions through various forms of communication.

We actively use the feedback we receive to promote the sustainability of the Group.

Questionnaire for Employees about Integrated Report

We conducted a questionnaire for Maruha Nichiro Corporation employees about the Maruha Nichiro Group Integrated Report 2021.

A total of 541 employees (last year 587) responded to the questionnaire. This indicates that interest in our integrated report is deeper internally.

Also, regarding the content, 80% of respondents answered they “understood it” or “understood it well.” Employees also provided such feedback as “compared to last fiscal year, the report was better organized and I understood the situation over the previous fiscal year” and “the report helped me better understand the company's overall activities.”

On the other hand, however, feedback included “I would like to have notes for the technical terms.” etc. Therefore we will make further improvements to the integrated report next fiscal year to make it clearer and easier to read.
