FINE’s SDGs

Initiatives to Eliminate Food Loss

We are conducting investigations into extending the shelf life of all our products. The Quality Control Department performs quality tests, and for those that pass the examination, we extend their expiration dates, enabling us to sell them for a longer period.
Furthermore, we propose the versatile use of a wide range of products to encourage their complete utilization and reduce food waste resulting from disposal.

Development of Allergy-Friendly Products

We have undertaken the development and sale of soups that do not contain any of the 28 specified allergenic ingredients, as well as supplements that do not use 8 specific allergenic ingredients. We aim to cater to a broader range of customers and ensure that more people can use and enjoy our products safely.

Utilization of Solar Power

In January 2023, we installed solar panels at the HAMTC (HARIMA Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center). Through solar power generation, we will be utilizing a portion of the energy for our factory operations. By harnessing solar power, we anticipate reducing our annual CO2 emissions by 85 tons.

Conclusion of Disaster Cooperation Agreement with Osaka Prefecture

In preparation for the occurrence of disasters such as the Nankai Trough Mega Earthquake, on March 19, 2018 (Monday), We have signed an agreement regarding the supply of goods during disasters and cooperation in disaster prevention activities with Osaka Prefecture. This marks the first-ever conclusion of a disaster cooperation agreement between Osaka Prefecture and the health food industry within the prefecture. The agreement aims to enhance preparedness for potential disasters and strengthen collaborative efforts in disaster relief and supply operations.

Implementation of Support Activities through Various World-Wide Organizations

Through the purchase of our products, we engage in support activities by donating a portion of the sales revenue to organizations such as “International Cooperation NGO World Vision Japan”, and “International Medical NGO Japan Heart”.

Inheriting Technology Through Technical Intern Trainees

Since May 2012, Fine Japan has been accepting technical interns, and currently, we have over 30 interns from Vietnam and Indonesia who are constantly refining their skills.
Our goal is to have these interns acquire valuable skills and knowledge during their training, which they can take back to their home countries and contribute to their economic development. To achieve this, we are actively supporting their efforts in obtaining relevant qualifications through technical internships.

Development of Environmentally Friendly Products

As part of our consideration for the Earth’s environment, we have taken several measures to minimize our environmental impact. These include the adoption of vegetable oil-based ink for printing on packaging boxes and the production of packaging at FSC-certified facilities.
Moreover, we have started utilizing packaging materials made from biomass plastics to further reduce our environmental footprint. These initiatives demonstrate our dedication to environmental consideration and sustainability in our product development practices.

Promotion of Paperless Initiatives

While paper-based management has been our primary approach in the past, we are now actively replacing documents that can be digitized with data storage. Furthermore, we are making efforts to reduce paper-based management by replacing traditional fax communication with web-based exchanges between companies. This move not only reduces paper usage but also streamlines communication processes, contributing to a more eco-friendly and modern approach to business interactions.

Based on our management philosophy, we are united and seeking both physical and material happiness for all employees.

As part of our efforts, we have set a target to achieve an average employee satisfaction rate of 70% by the year 2030.
Internally, we have established committees to identify areas that need improvement, and we will actively implement initiatives to enhance overall employee satisfaction. By prioritizing the happiness and contentment of our employees, we aim to create a positive and fulfilling work environment that fosters productivity and ensures the well-being of everyone involved.

Parenting Support System

We are committed to enhancing the parental leave uptake rate for both men and women, and we are actively working on establishing support mechanisms for utilizing shared childcare facilities and services. Our goal is to create an environment where individuals are not hindered from working due to childcare responsibilities, and we aim to incorporate systems that facilitate a better work-life balance for our employees.
