Commitment description
Ajinomoto Group Commitment to Nutrition
By 2030, we will help extend the healthy life expectancy of one billion people by increasing the current reach to 700 million consumers and providing products and information that support consumers in enjoying nutritious and delicious foods with Nutrition Without Compromise as basic policy on our approach to nutrition.
1. Support practice of "delicious salt reduction" using umami
- We will leverage our current reach to 700 million consumers to raise general awareness of salt reduction using umami, and support more people to achieve salt reduction without compromising taste.
2. Provide nutritious products to contribute to people's wellness
- By fiscal 2030, 60% of our products will have high nutritional value while maintaining good taste. We will use the Ajinomoto Group Nutrient Profiling System (ANPS) to guide product development and reformulation.
- Among the nutritious products, we will provide products that promote "delicious salt reduction" and "protein intake optimization" to 400 million people a year by fiscal 2030.
- By utilizing the physiological and nutritional functions of amino acids, by fiscal 2030, we will double the availability of such products that contribute to health, compared to fiscal 2020.
3. Support consciousness/behavior change of consumers by providing information that supports health and nutrition improvement
- We will provide consumers with information to help them improve their health and nutrition, as well as easy recipes and menus both on product packaging and our website that support delicious and well-balanced meals and healthy lifestyles.
4. Improve nutrition literacy of Group employees
- We will help our employees improve and maintain their health by providing healthy meals in the workplace, nutrition education, health checkups, and maternity leave.
- By fiscal 2025, we will provide nutrition education to sum total of 100,000 employees.
