The Zensho Group, as a food company that offers safe, delicious food to all people of the world, regularly assesses the impact of our operations on the environment and thus developed the sustainable MMD system. While trying to improve this system, we established the following basic policy to prevent environmental pollution.

1. We pay serious attention to the spirit of Mottainai (the sentiment and respect toward all things) and promote the concept of “Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle” to cut down on waste.
2. We introduce energy and resource saving equipment and materials to the restaurants and plants. We establish, improve, and promote their conversion to environmentally friendly facilities.
3. We comply with laws and regulations on the environment and all other requirements that the Zensho Group agreed on.
4. In order to increase environmental awareness, we promote education and enlightenment activities to all personnel within the Zensho Group, including our employees and customers.
5. We make this policy publicly available and promote active communication with people all over the world.
