The Living Essentials Group anticipates the demands of consumers and works to provide them with high quality goods and services, when they are needed. In areas from material procurement to the consumer market, we provide various products and services, including foods, clothing, paper, packaging materials, cement and construction materials.

Our strength as a group is that we conduct well-balanced business throughout our value chains, extending from the upstream sourcing of materials to the downstream retail and foodservice businesses. By further reinforcing the Group's comprehensive abilities through business investments and affiliates in Japan and overseas, we provide consumers with the kinds of solutions that can further enrich their lives, and in this fashion make a significant contribution to society. Our business group deals in products and services that consumers frequently come into contact with during their daily lives, and as such we place the utmost consideration on environmental issues and the provision of "safe and reliable" food products.
