Our Sustainability

Credibility and quality are key to a product’s value. In recent years, consumers have been concerned not only with product quality, but also with the place of origin and provenance of materials. Companies are therefore increasingly obliged to supply products and services offering credibility, and to work at establishing the corporate systems that make this possible. TASAKI will continue its efforts in regard to this theme to maintain and enhance the value our products deliver.

When a company faces an issue, it is its people who actually find the way forward. It is only when we think outside the box, exchange ideas, and discuss things openly in teams that we can arrive at a solution. TASAKI already employs talented people with a diverse range of backgrounds, and we will continue to make our workplaces even more diverse and receptive to input from everybody.

As I stated earlier, TASAKI’s pearl farming operations mean that we have a unique relationship with nature, and climate change could potentially impact us directly. Our road map sets the goal: “Achieving carbon neutrality in our business activities by 2030.” Although this is a challenging goal, we are determined to achieve it in order to ensure the Company’s sustainability.

Companies have to make big decisions at every turn, and I believe that what is required of them in terms of transparency is the ability to clearly explain how a decision was reached, even when that decision differs from what most of the public may have expected. We commit to managing TASAKI in such a way that it is accountable, and we can look back five or ten years after making a decision and take pride in having made the right call.
