Caring for the earth
The Calbee Group’s business is largely supported by natural capital provided by the earth. To maintain the abundance of the earth's natural environment and respond to climate change, we will proactively achieve carbon neutrality, reduce the impact plastics have on the environment, and promote a recycling-based society. In addition, we will protect natural capital such as forests, oceans, and rivers and make a positive contribution to local communities.
The Calbee Group aims to realize a sustainable natural environment while working together with our stakeholders involved in raw ingredient procurement, logistics, and distribution.
