As a distributor of processed and marine products, Marubeni Seafoods benefits from the global environment and its limited marine resources. However, as marine pollution and the depletion of marine resources have become global issues, we believe it is essential to establish a sustainable supply chain for marine products to protect the marine environment while ensuring the stable delivery of safe and secure marine resources to people's tables and the enrichment of people and the planet as a whole.

Based on this recognition of environmental and social issues, and based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015, we have identified the most important fundamental elements of the Fundamental Materiality to put our management philosophy into practice and enhance our corporate value by enriching people's lives and the lives of our employees. We have identified fundamental materiality as the most crucial element in implementing our management philosophy and enhancing our corporate value by enriching people's lives and the lives of our employees. We have also identified the expectations of our stakeholders (producers, consumers, employees, and the global environment) and the areas in which Marubeni Seafoods can contribute to sustainability through our business activities, organized into the following three categories, which we have designated as “Environmental and Social Materialities for Sustainability.”

Marubeni Seafoods notifies its suppliers of the “Marubeni Group Human Rights Policy” and the “Basic Policy on Sustainability in the Supply Chain” to request their understanding and cooperation with the contents of these policies and to promote highly effective sustainability initiatives together with its suppliers.
