BREWING SAKE & SDGs
The future SDGs as seen in tradition
KONISHI BREWING CO., LTD.
Itami Brewers Association
Achievement goal
Konishi Brewery recognises that its 470-odd year history is a series of sustainable activities. Recent activities include the promotion of environmental protection initiatives such as the use of lightweight bottles and environmentally friendly materials, as well as the acquisition of FSSC 22000 certification, an international standard, to ensure that we can always provide 'food safety and security'.
In the first place, the sake brewing industry is aware that the activities required on the planet today are to pass on fermentation techniques and food culture and to protect the 'traditional sake brewing culture'.
In order to contribute more than ever before to the sound development of the region, we will also be involved in the sound upbringing of young people and school education through Shubukan, one of the three largest private dojos in Japan, and work to build the foundations for a better society.
In the brewing industry, which used to be a male-dominated society, we have also placed great importance on the success of women. Currently, the percentage of women in management positions is 26%, far exceeding the Japanese standard of more than 10%. We aim to reach 30% as soon as possible.
Based on the corporate philosophy of "Elegance and Innovation", this phrase is that "the essence of sake will always remain the same in the constant pursuit of newness and challenge.", we will continue to be with the local community in Itami, the birthplace of sake, and develop from our history and traditions to become a world-class company in the future.
