Behaving with Integrity [Corporate Codes]

When pursuing economic rationality as a business, NISSUI bases its activities on the idea that it is a public organ and has put this idea in writing in the form of its Declaration of Corporate Policy and other codes. Based on these codes, we determine the policy for corporate governance and develop a mechanism for implementing policy.NISSUI will increase the transparency and sociality of management by using these codes and the corporate governance mechanism, aiming at realizing sustainable creation of values and better society.

Trust in Food [Quality Assurance]

Needless to say, assuring the quality and safety of commodities delivered to the customer is the most important matter for producers. NISSUI has established its own quality control standard equivalent to the HACCP, the quality control system adjusted to global standards, and is rigorously applying its standard to commodity production and quality control. Moreover, to apply this control standard correctly, we established the “Nissui Technical Academy” in May 2001, where we have been working on the development of human resources as the first step toward improving the entire Group’s quality control. Furthermore, in 2003 we laid down the Quality Assurance Code to encourage each of our employees to commit themselves to the delivery of safe and reliable food with a higher degree of awareness.

This policy was also applied to our overseas production bases, where Quality Control Centers have been established in Thailand and China to perform quality control of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products, as well as for the instruction and education of our local production plants. (The Quality Control Center China was functionally upgraded in April 2008 and has become a separate entity, the Qingdao Nissui Food Research and Development Co., Ltd.) And in 2006, we promptly took steps to cope with the positive list system, strengthened our global inspections systems, created a new control standard for farms and processing materials, and have prepared written guarantees of the standard for the raw materials of agrochemicals, animal drugs, and other products.
