Indonesia, where we carry out mangrove planting activities, is a shrimp producing area. The deterioration of shrimp ponds created by clearing forests and cultivating them for intensive shrimp farming has long been a problem.
As part of our activities to contribute to the SDGs, we have launched the “Forest of Life Project (R)” (*2 ). We will continue to support mangrove planting activities by donating a portion of the shrimp sales.

By continuing this project and continuing to create lush “Pleco Forests”, we will contribute to the SDGs by reducing CO2 emissions and aim for a sustainable food future and a rich global environment. *2 What is “Forest of Life Project (R)”?
This project was launched by Nichirei Fresh Co., Ltd. with the aim of being considerate to the global environment and procuring sustainable materials. We support tree planting activities by donating a portion of our profits to the Mangrove Fund.
