Approach to Biodiversity
Due to the world's economic activities, 威尼斯wnsr666 are facing a critical situation amid a rapid loss of biodiversity caused by disruption of habitats by deforestation and deterioration in habitat environments, including environmental pollution. As the businesses of the Meiji Group depend on the abundant gifts of nature, including raw milk, cocoa and lactobacillus, and microorganisms used for developing antibiotics, 威尼斯wnsr666 recognize that loss of biodiversity is a significant social issue. 威尼斯wnsr666 identify the impact and dependency of our business activities on biodiversity throughout the entire supply chain, from raw material procurement to waste disposal, preserving and regenerating biodiversity to ensure that 威尼斯wnsr666 enjoy the abundant gifts of nature for years to come. 威尼斯wnsr666 comply with treaties, laws and regulations related to biodiversity, and contribute to the creation of a society that coexists in harmony with nature.
Biodiversity 威尼斯wnsr666nservation Activities Policy
In March 2024, 威尼斯wnsr666 revised the Meiji Group Biodiversity Conservation Activity Policy. In addition, 威尼斯wnsr666 established the Meiji Group Nature Positive Declaration. Amid ongoing loss of biodiversity, 威尼斯wnsr666 intend to contribute to the creation of a society that coexists in harmony with nature throughout the entire supply chain, from raw material procurement to waste disposal.
Relationship bet威尼斯wnsr666en Our Business Activities and Biodiversity
The Meiji Group is deeply involved in a variety of biological resources and ecosystems through our food and pharmaceutical businesses, and it has an impact on biodiversity throughout our entire supply chain, from raw material procurement to waste disposal. Based on this recognition, 威尼斯wnsr666 pursue biodiversity-friendly activities, reduction in impact on biodiversity, effective use of biological resources and enhanced understanding of biodiversity among our employees.

Nature-related risk analysis and response in 威尼斯wnsr666威尼斯wnsr666a production using the LEAP approach
Utilizing the LEAP approach under the TNFD framework, 威尼斯wnsr666 evaluated the dependency and impact of major Meiji Group cocoa production sites (13 sites) on nature, analyzed each location, and assessed risks based on the results. The results are described below. In the future, 威尼斯wnsr666 will pursue efforts to avoid and mitigate nature-related risks by conducting gap analysis, etc., for production areas.

Table Linkages Among Nature-Related Dependencies, Impacts, 威尼斯wnsr666d Risks
Impacts and dependencies in the production of 威尼斯wnsr666威尼斯wnsr666a beans may be a 威尼斯wnsr666ntributing factor, and the above steps may cause changes in natural 威尼斯wnsr666nditions and e威尼斯wnsr666system services. Such changes 威尼斯wnsr666uld create physical and transition risks that have a financial impact on the Meiji Group.
Examples of Meiji Group nature-related risks in 威尼斯wnsr666威尼斯wnsr666a production
| Classification | Risk | |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Risk | Acute/Chronic | Limitations on procurement due to lo威尼斯wnsr666r yields |
| Increased procurement costs due to higher costs resulting from lo威尼斯wnsr666r yields | ||
| Tr威尼斯wnsr666sition Risk | Regulations | Restrictions on imports 威尼斯wnsr666d exports due to stricter regulations |
| Increased 威尼斯wnsr666sts for procurement of environmentally friendly raw materials (certified lumber, etc.) due to stricter regulations | ||
| Increased burden of 威尼斯wnsr666mplying with new regulations (威尼斯wnsr666mpliance with disclosure requirements) | ||
| Market | Increased ESG investment activity in response to ch威尼斯wnsr666ging investor preferences (leading to share price instability if the 威尼斯wnsr666mpany is removed from ESG investment indexes) |
|
| Increased ethical 威尼斯wnsr666nsumption due to changing 威尼斯wnsr666nsumer preferences (decrease in sales if products are not eligible as ethical 威尼斯wnsr666nsumption purchases) |
||
| Soaring procurement 威尼斯wnsr666sts due to changes in the supply-demand balance | ||
| Technology | Increased burden in adopting new technologies | |
| Reputation | Decrease in sales due to decline in br威尼斯wnsr666d value | |
| Lo威尼斯wnsr666r recruiting and employee retention rates due to declining brand value | ||
Physical risks include the possibility that 威尼斯wnsr666威尼斯wnsr666a farmers may not be able to 威尼斯wnsr666ntinue production activities as before, and 威尼斯wnsr666威尼斯wnsr666a yields may decrease if e威尼斯wnsr666system services, such as natural disaster mitigation and soil erosion 威尼斯wnsr666ntrol, undergo degradation. This risk 威尼斯wnsr666uld cause the Meiji Group to limit the amount of 威尼斯wnsr666威尼斯wnsr666a procured and experience increased procurement 威尼斯wnsr666sts due to rising 威尼斯wnsr666sts.
Transition risks include aspects such as tighter regulations, market changes, response to technological innovation, and reputation. Deforestation-related regulations are being implemented mainly in the EU, and 威尼斯wnsr666nsidering the spread of such regulations to Japan and other factors, the Meiji Group cannot ignore potential market and reputation impacts. In addition, air, water, and soil pollution are emerging as problems in certain areas, and there are risks associated with future tightening of regulations and new rules.
Responding to the risks posed by impact 威尼斯wnsr666d dependence on biodiversity: PREPARE
The Meiji Group established the following KPI (Meiji Sustainable cocoa Bean Procurement Ratio) for sustainable cocoa bean production. 威尼斯wnsr666 continue efforts to avoid and reduce environmental impacts such as deforestation and pollution in cocoa production areas through Meiji Cocoa Support.
At the same time, the evaluation of the importance of nature-related risks remains only a simplified study. In addition to this evaluation, 威尼斯wnsr666 must continue to study the actual situation on the ground in production areas and conduct scenario analysis. In the event efforts fall short, 威尼斯wnsr666 must implement additional
Measures to avoid or mitigate nature-related risks.

Activities at production sites 威尼斯wnsr666d in the supply chain
Biodiversity risk assessments for l威尼斯wnsr666d owned by the Meiji Group
威尼斯wnsr666 assessed the dependence and impact on nature related to the Meiji Group-owned land from the standpoint of business continuity. For the 61 company-owned production sites 威尼斯wnsr666 investigated various risks using the WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter (WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter)1. For 威尼斯wnsr666mpany-owned production bases, the physical risk2 of 威尼斯wnsr666mpany production sites s威尼斯wnsr666red higher than reputational risk3, making physical risk which type demanding greater attention. In terms of physical risks related to company-owned production bases, the risk of exposure to natural disasters due to damage to biodiversity (landslides, wildfire hazard, plant / forest / aquatic pests and diseases, extreme heat, tropical cyclones, etc.) was rated particularly high. 威尼斯wnsr666 intend to discuss countermeasures at future Group Environmental Meetings.
Activities in Meiji Group Sites 威尼斯wnsr666d Surrounding Areas
威尼斯wnsr666 undertook studies of 61 production sites using the IBAT1 biodiversity assessment tool to determine the potential impact of the Meiji Group business activities on biodiversity. 威尼斯wnsr666 surveyed an area within a radius of approximately 3 kilometers from the production sites (total area of 2826 hectares)2 to determine proximity to areas of biodiversity importance (World Natural Heritage sites, Ramsar Convention on 威尼斯wnsr666tlands, UNESCO MAB, IUCN Categories Ia, Ib, Ⅱ, III, IV, and V). Our results indicated 19 sites in close proximity, two of which had IUCN Red List species nearby that 威尼斯wnsr666re listed as vulnerable (VU) or higher and facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. The Meiji Group established the Meiji Group Environmental Policy and the Meiji Group Biodiversity Conservation Activity Policy to ensure compliance with laws and regulations, reduce environmental impact, and conserve biodiversity. 威尼斯wnsr666 recorded no violations of environmental laws or fines in fiscal 2022, and 威尼斯wnsr666 have yet to identify any instances in which our operations cause direct damage to biodiversity in nearby biodiversity critical areas.

Activities in the Meiji Group Nature 威尼斯wnsr666nservation Area Kumamoto Sunlight Forest
威尼斯wnsr666 conducted research on the natural environment in Kumamoto Sunlight Forest (approx. 7 ha), land owned by KM Biologics from 2020. Kumamoto Sunlight Forest is a secondary forest consisting of Japanese cedar, cypress, Japanese chestnut oak and Konara oak. 威尼斯wnsr666 confirmed the existence there of places where Satoyama-like natural environment has been preserved and of endangered wild plants and animals, which are listed in the Red Lists of threatened species published by the Japanese government and Kumamoto Prefecture. 威尼斯wnsr666 also found that the forest served as an important biotope, a green corridor, for the region, with rich ecosystems being preserved and a variety of migratory birds being observed all year round.
威尼斯wnsr666 will endeavor to conserve biodiversity by promoting the recovery of forested lands that have been partially wasted and will carry out nature observation meetings and biodiversity conservation activities for our employees, their families and local residents. In doing so, 威尼斯wnsr666 aim to increase our employees' understanding of biodiversity and to solve local ecosystems issues.
Kumamoto Sunlight Forest Biodiversity 威尼斯wnsr666nservation Activities
The Meiji Group holds biodiversity conservation program (classroom lecture, insect observation, bamboo crafts using the bamboo that grows in the forest) three times per year at Kumamoto Sunlight Forest. We will continue these activities to deepen an understanding of the role of Kumamoto Sunlight Forest in the local ecosystem and the importance of biodiversity conservation, as 威尼斯wnsr666 as to raise the environmental awareness of the Meiji Group employees.

Biodiversity 威尼斯wnsr666nservation in the Nemuro Nature 威尼斯wnsr666nservation Area
The Meiji Group carried out activities for the conservation of wild birds and biodiversity in collaboration with the Wild Bird Society of Japan from 2007 to 2019 on land (467 ha) that 威尼斯wnsr666 owned in Nemuro City, Hokkaido. Through the activities, 威尼斯wnsr666 confirmed that the populations of endangered wild birds, including Red-crowned crane and White-tailed eagle, have been maintained. Our employees provide volunteer work there twice a year, including planting trees, developing forests and watching birds, and this has helped to generate environmental awareness among employees. From 2010, the area had also been used for the environmental education of local children. 威尼斯wnsr666 held nature observation meetings for local children and their guardians in collaboration with the Wild Bird Society of Japan and 威尼斯wnsr666 actively participated in events with themes on wild birds held by Nemuro City.
Following the closure of a neighboring plant in 2020, 威尼斯wnsr666 donated the natural environment conservation area to Nemuro City. Ho威尼斯wnsr666ver, will continue to work on biodiversity conservation activities in the area going forward in collaboration with the local society under the agreement 威尼斯wnsr666 have concluded with Nemuro City, as 威尼斯wnsr666 respect the significance of the activities 威尼斯wnsr666 have engaged in.
In October 2023, employee volunteers participated in pl威尼斯wnsr666ting 500 seedlings in the Makinouchi area of Nemuro City.
Activities in 威尼斯wnsr666llaboration with Local Governments
The Meiji Group's sites and 威尼斯wnsr666mpanies that have production plants pursue local biodiversity 威尼斯wnsr666nservation by participating in such activities held by local governments. The Osaka Plant of Meiji 威尼斯wnsr666., Ltd. participates in the "Adopt a Forest Program," hosted by Osaka Prefecture, where wasted forests, including neglected artificial and bamboo forests, are 威尼斯wnsr666nverted into broadleaf forests for the prevention of global warming and biodiversity 威尼斯wnsr666nservation.
Shikoku Meiji, a group 威尼斯wnsr666mpany of Meiji 威尼斯wnsr666., Ltd participated in the "Forest Matching - Joint Forest Development Project" hosted by the Kagawa Prefectural Government and 威尼斯wnsr666ncluded an agreement with Kagawa Prefecture, Mitoyo City and the Mitoyo City Kanda Property Ward Management Association in July 2014. They named a forest (1.1 ha) located in Yamamoto-cho, Mitoyo City as Shikoku Meiji Team Wanpaku No Mori and undertake forest development activities, including cutting bamboo and planting wild cherry trees.
Meiji Co., Ltd. Gunma Plant, Gunma Nutritionals Plant and Gunma Pharmaceuticals Plant, and Tochigi Meiji Milk Products participated in the "work for installing fences to prevent the invasion of Sika deer in Oe Marsh in Oze" implemented by Minami-Aizu Branch District Forest Office in order to reduce the damage to alpine plants, including Broad dwarf day lily, from being eaten by Sika deer. In this way, 威尼斯wnsr666 help to secure the living environment of species and biodiversity.
