Kirin Group Nutrition Policy

Establishment of the Nutrition Policy

December 3, 2025

The Kirin Group is committed to creating shared value (CSV) as the foundation of its management, aiming to spread new joys in “food and health” and contribute to the realization of a spiritually enriched society.
As we operate across a broad spectrum of fields from food to medicine, health is a critical theme. We also believe nutrition is an essential element supporting people's healthy lives and societal sustainability.
In recent years, against a backdrop of heightened consumer health awareness and increasingly complex societal challenges, companies are expected more than ever to fulfill their responsibilities regarding nutrition throughout their entire business activities. Recognizing this, we have established the “Kirin Group Nutrition Policy” to clarify our fundamental approach and guiding principles for action as the Kirin Group.
This policy represents a consistent, shared perspective that applies not only to specific businesses or points in time, but across all of the Kirin Group's business activities and related initiatives. Moving forward, guided by this policy, we will steadily advance initiatives within each business. Simultaneously, through dialogue with stakeholders, we will strive to enrich and improve the policy's content, contributing to the enhancement of consumer health and the sustainability of society as a whole.
