The Kirin Group operates in the food and health industries. Whatever we do, we strive to ensure that the natural environment will continue to be the source of food; wherever we operate, we seek to help society achieve sustainable development.

The Sustainability Report updates a broad range of our stakeholders on the Kirin Group's philosophy toward CSR, what its high-priority CSR initiatives strive to accomplish, and how Group companies implement these initiatives. The report includes many examples and cases that illustrate and reflect the Group's CSR policy.

The CSR Section of our web site provides detailed policies and data to complement what is discussed in the Sustainability Report.
