Zensho Group upholds the management philosophy of "taking responsibility for the stability and development of human society through food, and eradicating hunger and poverty from the world," and is committed to providing safe and delicious food at affordable prices to people all over the world. Furthermore, at the beginning of the "Zensho Group Charter," which serves as the code of conduct for Zensho Group members, the "Zensho Group Declaration" states that through the development of its business, it aims to "realize a society in which all people are truly equal and can continue to develop in a sustainable and harmonious manner."

To realize its philosophy, Zensho Group is developing mass merchandising system globally, in which it plans, designs, and operates all processes from raw material procurement to manufacturing, processing, logistics, and sales at stores. It is working to create a system that can stably supply food to all people as a "food infrastructure."
「食のインフラ」としての事業展開に加え、ゼンショーグループは、2007年から独自の直接提携型フェアトレードに取り組んでいます。現在、アジアやアフリカなど26ヵ国との間でコーヒーや紅茶などの取引を行っており、フェアトレードから生まれる「社会開発資金」を活用し、学校建設、水道施設の整備、女性の地位向上などの社会開発活動を行っています。この活動を通じ、資本主義の負の側面としてもたらされた発展の不均衡を是正し、持続可能な世界の実現に貢献していきます。


We will take responsibility for the impact our business activities have on the global environment. We will take action to ensure the sustainability of our business domain and the global environment itself through initiatives such as the conservation of natural resources and the utilization of food waste, which are closely related to our business domain, as well as the utilization of renewable energy.
Based on the idea that human resources are "human capital" that generates added value, we are committed to human resource development and creating a workplace environment where diverse talents can thrive. Furthermore, as a global company originating from Japan, in order to realize a society where multiple cultures coexist, we established the "Zensho Japanese Culture Center" in Kyoto City in July 2021, starting with the aim of deepening our understanding of our own culture. We will continue to advance our efforts toward multicultural coexistence.
