Basic Policy on Sustainability

The Anicom Group has declared as its purpose to share unconditional love across the world, and to restore, maintain, and advance peace. Inspired by our company name, which is derived from “ani (life) + communication (mutual understanding) = ∞ (boundless),” we will deliver boundless value as an infrastructure provider for animal industries. As we work to do this we will be guided by our corporate philosophy that “by all living things understanding each other and working together toward a common goal”, we make possible what was previously impossible.
The Anicom Group has identified key issues, or “materialities,” related to social challenges and global environment) that the pet industry is able to address. We will conduct initiatives designed to make the following specific contributions to people, animals, and the environment. These initiatives are consistent with our aims to enhance corporate value and realize a sustainable society.

1. Contribution to people

Providing people a sense of purpose in life through their co-existence with pets, we will undertake activities that contribute to local revitalization and equality of educational opportunities.
Further, through the promotion of our “one patent per employee” strategy, we will leave a social legacy to posterity; a testament to the fact that each and every one of our Group employees has lived on this earth.

2. Contribution to animals

To achieve respect for the diversity and well-being of all life, we will undertake activities for physical and mental health, supply chain traceability, animal welfare, disaster relief, and wildlife protection.

3. Contribution to the environment

We will undertake activities that respond to climate change, such as reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and reducing and recycling waste. Further we will strive to preserve biodiversity in all we do.
