TOREI Sustainability

Global social and environmental issues such as climate change, resource issues, and human rights issues are intricately interrelated and continue to grow day by day. Against this background, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were set out as a vision for the world by 2030 to address major economic, social, and environmental challenges. Companies are expected to proactively tackle these issues, contribute to a sustainable society, and achieve sustainable growth themselves.
Since its founding, TOREI has operated as a company that brings the bounty of the sea to people's tables. Since 2006, we have adopted an "Environmental Management Policy," obtained Eco Action 21 certification, and have been working on various environment-related action plans. However, as global problems and social risks grow, we will be required to move more quickly and conduct sustainable management and business activities in the future.
While focusing on solving various social issues, TOREI will work together as a group to achieve its mission of "sustainable and stable supply of marine resources," which is the foundation of its business, and will work in cooperation with all stakeholders to further promote sustainable management so that the blessings of the sea can be sustained for future generations.

At TOREI, we strive to improve the sustainability of our business by considering environmental, social, and economic sustainability. To raise awareness of our efforts, we prepare and publish an environmental management report every year.

The Environmental Management Policy lays out the basic principles regarding environmental management and initiatives based on the TOREI Group's business philosophy and has been established as a pledge to society. In addition to setting basic principles, the Environmental Management Policy defines priority activities and areas based on our business activities, leading to the formulation of medium- to long-term action plans and targets. Our environmental management policy is reviewed at the end of each fiscal year to determine whether it needs to be revised. Additionally, we have formulated separate "Environmental Management Goals" and "Environmental Management Plans" as specific action plans for realizing our environmental management policies.
