We were one of the first companies to obtain ISO14001 certification for our environmental efforts in 1999, and we continue to maintain a production system that voluntarily complies with the standard. In 2015, we obtained FSSC22000 certification, an international standard for food safety, and have built a safe and secure manufacturing system as a food manufacturer. Our ESG initiatives based on these standards are deeply connected to the 17 goals of the SDGs, which aim to achieve a sustainable world, and we recognize that they are directly related to our company's social significance and creative business development for the future.
We believe that sake brewing is an ancient Japanese recycling-oriented industry. We will continue our business activities to create a food culture that is friendly to the environment, society, and people, and that is enjoyable to live in, based on the brewing and fermentation technologies we have accumulated over the years, and to realize a sustainable society.
