Corporate Philosophy
- Contribute to society through the steady supply of meat products.
In the days when meat was a rare commodity in Japan, one of the pioneers of the imported meat industry was the company that later became HANEWFOODS GROUP. Driven to raise the standard of health and improve the quality of life, the first principle of our corporate philosophy, we have delivered tasty meat products at affordable prices to households, restaurants, and various other buyers.
As the times change, so do the conditions surrounding the supply and demand for meat, but the heart of our corporate philosophy has remained unchanged.
- Build an integrated meat company to achieve productive development and promote business expansion.
Not only do we deliver safe, quality products that taste good, we cater to our customers' needs in a way that only HANEWFOODS GROUP can, by taking speedy action, providing clear information, and going the extra mile to provide our services.
- Understand customer needs to provide the best.
Our primary strength has always been the handling of imported meat products. Building on this foundation, we have established a strong presence not only here in Japan but in overseas markets as well. As an integrated meat company, we pursue further growth by showcasing our capabilities with regards to imported meat, domestic meat, finished products, and group synergy.
- Create a rewarding workplace with an emphasis on personal development.
The business of HANEWFOODS GROUP could not flourish without the people working to support it. We strive to create a workplace where employees engage in rewarding work and obtain a sense of accomplishment, and achieve an organization to nurture staff members who can understand and act based on the rich human characters and a natural truth.
