Human resource development programs strengthen our corporate foundation by training and developing managers, promoting globalization, and instilling shared values. These specialized programs consist of an organized combination of on-the-job and off-the-job training, often taking place in our NAGASE Global HR Development Center.

While on-the-job training lets employees experience real-world work in a variety of roles to gain new knowledge and skills; off-the-job training allows employees to gain new skills through both formal lectures and self-directed learning. 

We consider the health, safety, and comfort of our employees and their families, both domestic and overseas, to be of the utmost importance. That's why we've unveiled our NAGASE Health Declaration: to encourage measures employees can take to maintain and promote personal health.

To prevent workplace risks and injuries, we take extraordinary precautions and have implemented specific changes at each site to address previous accidents. Further, we conduct regular internal audits and, when necessary, education and training, as well as revision of internal rules and systems.

We strive to improve the welfare of our employees and to contribute to society through our business and community activities. We respect the history, culture, and customs of every region, and we do not engage in harassment or discrimination. Our Code of Conduct ensures regard for human rights and respect for individuality.

In the event of an incident of discrimination, we pledge to take immediate steps to investigate. Our Board of Directors regularly checks the status of our compliance with human rights and the progress of such efforts. Additionally — to help fulfill our vision of a healthier, more just society — we intend to contribute to the realization of a sustainable food system, especially food security in terms of both quality and quantity.

As a responsible manufacturer, we comply with the Consumer Product Safety Act and all applicable product safety and quality control laws and regulations. We work proactively to ensure the safety of our products, vendors, and manufacturing contractors through a stringent set of internal rules.

We have acquired international standards such as ISO 9001, and through the operation of a company-wide quality management system, we make continuous improvements to the quality of our products and the work we do, willingly recalling products when necessary in order to prevent any further harm.

In addition to observing the relevant laws and regulations in the countries where we do business, we pay careful attention to safety, human rights, environmental issues, and social ethics, as well as to appropriate labeling and expression.
