Driving Sustainable Growth 
through Business Transformation ^​with the Creation of New Value toward Realizing ^​​
“Joy for Life—Bringing Joy to the Future by Food”

The J-Oil Mills Group is ^​committed to enhancing corporate value while placing importance on dialogue with all stakeholders^​—including consumers, customers, shareholders and investors, and employees—as we work toward realizing our vision, “Joy for Life—Bringing Joy to the Future by Food.”

In recent years, the business environment surrounding us has been changing at an unprecedented pace due to factors such as fluctuations in raw material prices, changes in supply-demand structures, growing geopolitical risks, and rapid technological innovation. Against this backdrop, we understand that companies are expected not only to fulfill their social responsibilities but also to continue creating new value.  We will strive to strengthen both our earning power and competitive edges by identifying changes in the environment and making appropriate decisions with speed and agility.

To achieve medium- to long-term growth, we will advance four key strategic imperatives : strengthening profitability in existing businesses, advancing our business portfolio, expanding overseas business footprints, and investing in next-generation business domains. At the same time, we will reinforce our customer-oriented approach, further enhancing our capabilities of providing unique solutions to create value for customers. In particular, we will continue to offer delicious food experiences t hrough our unique strength, “Oishisa Design,” which will contribute to creating new food culture. ^​​

We also position sustainability as a fundamental premise of management. Through our business activities, we are addressing social issues such as climate change and sustainable sourcing of raw materials. We believe these initiatives are essential to achieving both social and economic values. 

Furthermore, to maximize the potential of our talents—the driving force behind our sustainable growth—we place great importance on human capital management. We are building an organization in which our employees with diverse backgrounds and perspectives can drive innovation on their own as well as create value together with external stakeholders.  

Our history stretches back nearly 200 years to the founding of our predecessor companies, during which we have overcome numerous changes in the business and social environment. Inheriting the spirit of challenge cultivated by our predecessors, we will continue to embrace business transformation, which enables us to create new value for the society as well as to achieve sustainable growth and enhance corporate value. 

I sincerely appreciate your kind understanding and continued support.
