Kikkoman Group Environmental Preservation Activities Case Book

 

Thank you very much for accessing this site.
The Environmental Preservation Activities Case Book presents, categorized by theme, the environmental preservation activities carried out by affiliate companies of the Kikkoman Group.
As Kikkoman makes use of the work of microorganisms as the base of its operations, Kikkoman has been valuing harmony with nature since its inception. In particular, since the 1970s when social concerns over the relations between corporations and nature became apparent, Kikkoman has placed healthy environmental preservation as one of its management goals, and the group as a whole, has been taking various measures.
This Case Book gives more detailed relevant data which can be disclosed and specialized information which is requested frequently on selected environmental preservation activities in the Kikkoman Group:

3) Unique examples of the Kikkoman Group which are related to activities by respective companies.
