The TORIDOLL Group has formulated an environmental management policy and has established a system to actively address and promote global environmental issues in our business activities. In addition, the TORIDOLL Code of Conduct clearly states that we will fulfill our responsibilities to people, society, and the environment while creating satisfaction and excitement for our customers.
At TORIDOLL Group we deal with food, which is a blessing of nature; for this reason, we have a responsibility to actively engage in the resolution of environmental problems, and to contribute to the sustainable growth of society. We seek to fulfill these responsibilities based on the four codes of conduct outlined below.
Toward a sustainable society
We fully understand the impact our business activities have on the environment. As we seek to realize sustainable growth for society, we intend to limit our missions of greenhouse gases and to engage in the effective use of resources.
Compliance with laws and provisions
We comply with all relevant environmental laws and provisions; we also voluntarily set and promote our own goals when it comes to societal requirements.
Environmentally friendly product development and human resource straining
We aim to develop environmentally friendly restaurants, products, and services, and to train our human resources to possess high levels of environmental awareness.
Environment management
We aim to establish environmental goals, draw up action plans to achieve them, and continually reduce our environmental footprint.
The Toridoll Group has established the Environment Committee, which is chaired by the General Manager of the Sustainability Promotion Department and whose members are department heads.
The Environment Committee is a subordinate organization of the Sustainability Promotion Committee, and is working to reduce environmental impacts such as reducing CO2 emissions, energy conservation activities, waste reduction, and recycling promotion as a response to climate change.
In addition, the committee establishes environmental targets and environmental action plans for each business year, and monitors and evaluates progress at monthly committee meetings.
Activities are organized into projects for each theme, and each organization is working on them, but the Environmental Committee Secretariat is in charge of coordinating the affairs.
The Toridoll Group will declare its net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in order to realize a carbon-neutral society.
To that end, we will continue to promote energy-saving measures and the introduction of renewable energy, as well as consider measures for carbon offsets.
The Toridoll Group has set "food waste emissions," "food recycling rate," "CO2 emissions," "water consumption," and "environmental management system" as environmental management targets.
Among various environmental issues, as a corporate group involved in "food", we have positioned the issue of food waste, the effective use of water resources, and the establishment of environmental management as ESG materiality (important issues), and are actively working on them. .
In addition, climate change is an issue that all countries and organizations should address, and we are working to set long-term goals.

Toridoll Holdings has acquired Eco Action 21 certification based on the guidelines formulated by the Ministry of the Environment. We also aim to introduce Eco Action 21 at all Marugame Seimen stores by the end of fiscal 2022.
In acquiring this certification, we use manuals and records to reduce the amount of water, light, and heat used, and we also operate various management tables to reduce food loss. We also conduct regular checks to ensure that there are no violations of environmental laws and regulations.
In order to provide customers with freshly made products, we believe that it is important for each and every employee to engage in work with environmental awareness, and we will continue to promote the penetration and expansion of our environmental management system.
