Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• “2024 Problem” (shortage of human resources and operations vehicles); rising procurement and raw material prices; concerns about a global economic recession; challenges in long-distance delivery of fresh produce; managing large disaster stockpiles; stockpile costs with few opportunities for use; reduced response capabilities and staff unable to function in a disaster; risk of stockpiles becoming unusable due to physical damage or other factors; driver shortages; high fuel and other costs; changes in customer strategy policies and corporate mergers and discontinuations impacting shipping volumes.

Mitigation Strategies

• Developing transportation bases; strengthening recruitment and training of drivers; eliminating long drive times; increasing productivity through DX; working with customers to reduce waiting time and relax delivery conditions; establishing a BCP Advisory Committee; limiting annual overtime hours to 860; improving work conditions, such as increasing base salaries; expanding total yearly holidays; implementing DX for transport and logistics centers to reduce labor and increase efficiency; building an integrated vehicle dispatch center; securing directly contracted drivers; regularly conducting training for base management staff; reviewing the structure of the back office to standardize work-processing skills and enhance efficiency; introducing electric vehicles; using more electric bicycles and hand trucks for delivery; building a nationwide disaster response organization; establishing a system for the AZ-COM MARUWA Support Network to function as a BCP network in a natural disaster; developing efficient stockpiling systems; creating a system for even young employees to get management experience through standardization and hourly accounting.
