Basic Sustainability Policy

Our Approach to Sustainability

Based on the meaning behind the business philosophy of Yoshinoya Holdings, “For the People,” which holds that companies exist to serve the needs of society and to contribute to the greater happiness of mankind, we emphasize environmental (E), social (S), and governance (G) perspectives throughout our business activities.

The Group considers the promotion of ESG management to be an important theme as changes in the global environment and social issues increase in severity. We are promoting the effective use of resources, reducing CO² emissions, promoting diversity and respect for human rights, and ensuring food safety and security throughout the entire supply chain as part of our commitment to realizing a sustainable society.

Moreover, we will continue our dialogue with stakeholders as we strive to sustainably enhance our corporate value and remain a company trusted by society. We will continue to sincerely face the changing society and contribute to a sustainable future.

Sustainability promotion system

The Group positions sustainability at the core of management, and promotes it across the entire company. We newly established a Sustainability Promotion Committee in March 2024, chaired by the Representative Director and President & CEO, with directors as Vice Chairpersons and all executive officers as members. The Committee identified material issues and established KPIs under the supervision of the Board of Directors. Under the Committee, we have established five subcommittees to solve specific issues in each field.

The Group Planning Division plays a pivotal role in formulating and executing policies and measures in cooperation with the promotion departments responsible for handling material issues in the three areas of E, S, and G. Progress is
shared and discussed with executives and general managers through the Sustainability Promotion Committee, and ultimately reported and submitted to the Board of Directors. The management team actively engages in discussion to promote unity between management and the workplace, thereby improving our ability to put sustainability initiatives into practice. We will continue to foster awareness and entrench practices across the breadth of the organization, as we aim to realize a sustainable society and corporate value.
