Ajinomoto Co., Inc., has been selected as one of the Sustainability Transformation Brands 2026, jointly designated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc.
It is an initiative in which a company strives to improve long-term and sustainable corporate value by synchronising the sustainability of society with that of itself while carrying out the necessary management and business reforms to achieve such synchronisation. The ‘SX Brands’ are a group of progressive companies that are selected and awarded for enhancing their ability to create a source of funds for growth
in a sustainable manner through SX to realise the improvement of corporate value. The company has been selected for the third consecutive year since the program’s inception.
In the selection process, the company was highly evaluated in the following three points.
Long-term strategy based on competitive advantage, incorporating both forecasting and back casting perspectives - Building on its unique competitive advantage of ‘AminoScience’, The company clearly explains a long-term strategy that incorporates both forecasting and back casting perspectives, along with implementation strategies for each field. In addition, the company’s concise purpose - contributing to the well-being of all human beings, our society, and our planet with AminoScience - serves as a single unifying axis for its diversified businesses, ranging from food to biotechnology and electronic materials.
A consistent management system centred on ASV – the company has established a consistent management system centred on ASV, integrating purpose, strategy, governance, and KPIs. By clarifying the KPI progress management and supervision system based on materiality, the company has built an integrated management structure encompassing committee design, progress management, and IR disclosure, which was recognised as a key strength.
Execution strategies and organisational initiatives that incorporate the concept into business results - The company’s strategy of concentrating investments in four focused growth areas - Healthcare, Food & Wellness, ICT, and Green - while linking R&D, DX, and human resource measures, enables strategic concepts to be incorporated into business results. In particular, its human resource strategy and technology asset strategy were highly evaluated for clearly explaining concrete measures and their intentions.
With its purpose of contributing to the well-being of all human beings, our society, and our planet with AminoScience, the group has set two outcomes as its goal: to help extend the healthy life expectancy of 1 billion people and to reduce our environmental impact by 50% by 2030. As initiatives to realise this purpose, the group will promote the evolution of ASV management, which aims to co-create social value and economic value through business and, under a governance structure for realising ASV management, will rapidly and continuously improve corporate value by reducing negative impacts and further creating positive impacts.
