CEO Message

Envisioning sustainable growth
for the next 100 years and beyond

Since Calbee was founded in 1949, we have dedicated ourselves to harnessing nature's gifts to create great tasting and fun experiences, all while promoting healthier lifestyles. In these uncertain times, however, we must adapt to environmental changes, address various social issues, and transform ourselves to continue growing.

In February 2023, we established our 2030 Vision and Growth Strategy, and we have been structurally reforming our business since then. In addition to expanding our business globally, we are focusing on new growth areas: our agri-business, where we leverage the strengths of our value chain, and the emerging food and health business.

Our employees are the driving force behind these operations, and I am confident that our diverse team can deliver the innovations we need together. To support this, we are committed to promoting diversity and investing in our people, both of which are fundamental to how we create value.

My vision is to transform Calbee into a company capable of evolving for the next 100 years and beyond. While we remain steadfast in our commitment to creating healthier products, as outlined in our founding philosophy, we will look to new business growth and effective sustainability management practices as the dual pillars to sustain our company well beyond the 100-year milestone.

I would like to thank all our stakeholders for your continued support. We look forward to building a long-lasting partnership with you and invite you to join us on our journey to transform Calbee for the future.
