Message from the President

The Sojitz Group creates value and prosperity by connecting the world with the spirit of integrity.

It is expected that the environment will continue to change remarkably, including change associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and other geopolitical risks. There is nothing absolute or invariable about our business environment, and this means that we have to keep changing all the time.

We will see the many different risks and changes that we face as opportunities, acquire competitive advantages and pursue the growth of business by implementing uncompromising market-oriented initiatives, collaborating internally and externally, and pursuing speed. We will continue to make the necessary changes happen within organizations and human resources. Thus, we will continue to create value sustainably through the achievement of growth.

We will work with our customers and business partners to discover new supply sources and to innovate, transform and develop our ingredient procurement, product development and production, and logistics capabilities. We will fulfill our mission as a trading company, delivering goods and services where they are needed.

Further, as a company that handles food, we understand that our most important responsibility is to ensure the safety and security of food. Our Quality Assurance Department oversees quality control and compliance initiatives and develops an appropriate governance structure at the manufacturing plants of the Sojitz Group and our business partners, thus ensuring the safety and security of food.

We are proud to engage in the food business together with our customers and business partners from all over the world including Japan and aim to become an attractive company that creates infinite value with enthusiasm.



Yutaka Koizumi
