During Mr. Taro Fujie’s speech, he reiterated
Ajinomoto’s core purpose, which is to be able to contribute to the well-being
of all human beings, our society and our planet with “AminoScience”. With this,
Ajinomoto aims to reduce our environmental impact by 50% in turn, regenerate
our environment, and help extend the life expectancy of one billion people
through better health and life. True to Ajinomoto’s corporate slogan, Eat Well, Live Well, Mr. Taro Fujie shares
that the company has been relentless in living up to its ways, with creating new
value, championing the pioneer spirit, engaging in social contribution, which all ultimately values people, not just
their customers. All these efforts are rooted all the way back from the
company’s founding, where Ajinomoto promotes management that co-creates social
value and economic value through its business, which they coined as ASV or the
Ajinomoto Group Creating Shared Value.
“2030 is closer than we all think it is, but
it is my great honor to share with you, that we, in the whole of Ajinomoto Group,
will remain as enthusiastic as we are now, to achieve what needs to be achieved
for the betterment of our society, and all of us in this world, and that we
share every milestone with you, as our companions in this journey,” says Mr.
Taro Fujie, Ajinomoto Co., Inc. President and CEO.
Mr. Taro Fujie has also set the expectations
that the Ajinomoto Group has for Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC), which
he is confident that APC will do everything in its capabilities to achieve. APC
is expected to keep contributing to resolving social issues for the well-being
of the Filipinos, the society, and the planet through initiatives led by the
ASV, while being able to diversify its business steadily progressing from
seasonings to frozen foods, supplements, and more in the future.
“It is my pleasure, and a great honor, to meet
you all today, Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation. I am indeed certain that you
will continue to cultivate an environment where employees remain diverse,
highly motivated, and engaged, as you are our essential and greatest intangible
assets.” ends Mr. Taro Fujie.
Earlier during the day, Mr. Taro Fujie and
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte engaged in an exchange where outlooks focused on
sustainability and community development through co-creating a greener
tomorrow, through the Saricycle Program of APC. Mr. Taro Fujie was also able to
engage in a first-hand experience as he visited one of the participating
sari-sari stores in Feria Road Old Balara, Quezon City.
The road to a more sustainable tomorrow is
paved by innovative strategies and collaborations. Just recently, Ajinomoto
Philippines Corporation partnered with different stakeholders, including the
Local Government of Quezon City and Basic Environmental Systems and
Technologies (BEST), for the SariCycle Program. The program is a flagship
plastic collection drive of APC Group that is focused on sari-sari stores
and market stalls which incentives them to collect Single Use Plastics (SUPs)
or Flexible Plastics from their customers which the store owner can exchange
for Environmental Points (EPs) that is good as cash for participating
merchants. APC also partnered with ACEN Res, allowing APC's Bulacan factory to
run on 100% renewable energy, with the goal of lessening its environmental
footprint.
Mr. Taro Fujie was the president of Ajinomoto
Philippines Corporation from 2011 til 2015. And after almost 10 years, he has
made his way back to the Philippines, now as Ajinomoto Co., Inc.’s President
and CEO. He has expressed his gratitude towards the APC Group, and most
especially, the Filipino community who have long been supporters of the
Ajinomoto brand. Truly, with the heart to serve the community in ways by
managing the Ajinomoto business, and co-creating a better future for all,
Ajinomoto remains optimistic that in the near future, all our combined efforts
will surely be enjoyed by the generations to come, whose mindsets have been
instilled with the same responsibility of taking part in nurturing our
environment while living a healthy life.
