Meiji Nutrition Statement
For more than 100 years, Meiji has provided nutrition to Japan and the world based on our philosophy of nourishment of society.
What does nutrition mean at Meiji? This important concept has now been enshrined in the Meiji Nutrition Statement, so that we can go on contributing for another 100 years.
Nourishment of society is one of the founding philosophies of Meiji, and our contributions to society through food have continued over many generations.
In its early days, Meiji mainly sold confectionery made with sugar—an energy source that was a luxury item—as an aid to nutrition. The phrase "nourishment of society" embodies Meiji's wish to contribute to the healthy physical development of the Japanese people and create a society based on enjoyment.
That's why Meiji products have long been popular with people of all ages from infants to the elderly. As awareness of health grows worldwide, Meiji will work harder than ever before to create novel nutritional value for Japan and the world. To help fulfill this important mission, we established the core concepts of nutrition that connect our corporate principles and each business and brand within the Meiji Group. The result is the Meiji Nutrition Statement.
Nutrition at Meiji
through nutrition. This will never change.
Meiji's concept of nutrition is more than simply the nutrients necessary for physical development. Meiji regards nutrition as the integration of all the products, information, and services that Meiji provides.
While never forgetting that nutritious should also mean delicious, we will continue to create nutritional advantages for consumers by providing value-added, multifunctional and convenient products that improve health and enrich lives. Meiji aims to realize a world in which more people can experience the joy of a healthy mind and body, and share this joy with families and friends, communities, and society.
We provide nutrition in partnership with employees, shareholders, suppliers, distribution chains, public institutions, other companies, and stakeholders as we share the joy of opening up a pathway to the future through food and health.
Meiji uses its own technology to make products rich in nutrients, using milk, cocoa, and other natural ingredients. Meiji is a dependable supplier of milk, yoghurt, and other products that meet people's daily nutritional needs.
We already supply around 20 million products* each day, and will continue to supply safe, high-quality products that people can always expect to find on store shelves, not only in Japan but throughout the world.
This, we believe, is the fundamental value provided by Meiji nutrition.
