Ajinomoto AGF is a food company whose main raw materials are agricultural products that are affected by the global environment. In order to achieve the Ajinomoto Group’s goal of reducing environmental impact by 50%, our company has set four materialities: responding to climate change, contributing to a circular economy, sustainable materials sourcing, and forest improvement and water resource conservation. We are now implementing these initiatives. This paper introduces our particular activities related to forest improvement and water resource conservation from four perspectives: understanding our relationship with water, making social value creation visualization with understanding one’s own responsibility, contributing to the improvement in stakeholder engagement, and expanding activities that take advantage of the diverse functions of forests.
