A diagram illustrating how a company creates and reinvests both social and economic value through three core business domains—Food & Beverages domain, Pharmaceuticals domain, and Health Science domain—supported by core technology and organizational capabilities. At the center, a large tree represents the structure, with overlapping circles labeled "Food & Beverages domain," "Pharmaceuticals domain," and "Health Science domain" in the foliage. The trunk is labeled "Innovation," rooted in "Core technology that assures value creation" and "Fermentation and Biotechnology." Beneath the roots are three supporting elements: "Consumer-centric marketing expertise," "ICT accelerating value creation," and "Diversity and inclusion, culture of innovation." On the left, a family silhouette and dog are shown with a label reading "Creating social value." On the right, three labels indicate the economic process: "Creating economic value," "Reinvestment of economic value," and "Core Competencies: Organizational ability to accomplish innovation."
