As a global company, the Ajinomoto Group’s purpose is to contribute to the wellbeing of human beings, our society, and our planet through its focus on “AminoScience.” The company aims to extend the healthy life expectancy of one billion people by 2030 and to address the food and health challenges associated with dietary habits and ageing. The Ajinomoto Group believes that the wellbeing of its employees is fundamental to this mission and is integral to its Ajinomoto Group Creating Shared Value (ASV) framework, which lies at the heart of its business strategy.
As part of its strong commitment to nutrition, the Ajinomoto Group joined the Workforce Nutrition Alliance (WNA) and, during the Nutrition for Growth Summit 2021, announced two specific targets for its workforce as part of its Commitment to Nutrition.
- Improve employee health through four key pillars (providing healthy meals, offering nutrition education, facilitating health check-ups, and ensuring adequate maternity leave).
- Provide nutrition education to a total of 100,000 employees by 2025.
Currently, 17 companies in its business structure promote the WNA program, accounting for 70% of its employees. Kindly read the case study to know how these initiatives significantly impacted employee engagement and wellbeing.
