The TORIDOLL Group is deeply involved with many stakeholders, including employees, customers, business partners, local communities/society, shareholders/investors, and even the global environment. We believe that the realization of the TORIDOLL Group slogan, "Fill the planet with the excitement of food," is something that cannot be achieved by our company alone. It is important to listen to the voices of various stakeholders and meet their expectations to build trusting relationships and gain their support. We have established "promises with related parties" in the TORIDOLL Code of Conduct, and will actively engage in dialogue with stakeholders.
At the Toridoll Group, we aim for each employee to embrace diversity, understand and respect each other, and demonstrate their own individuality, thereby continuing to create new value and leading to the sustainable growth of the company. To that end, we are working on various measures, such as improving the work environment, various systems, and training. In addition, we hold monthly labor-management councils with the labor union, which represents the employees, and once a year we report the opinions of employees compiled by the labor union to management and provide an opportunity for them to make suggestions.

In order to share the value of excitement globally and work together as a group to realize our slogan, "Fill the planet with the excitement of food," we will start holding the "KANDO Pioneers Leadership Forum" in July 2023, where executives from some of our domestic businesses and one or two executives from all 18 overseas brands will meet remotely every month.
This is the start of a new initiative. Although there has been communication between Toridoll Holdings and each company up until now, there has not been much interaction between overseas subsidiaries. Through this forum, examples of inspirational delivery and various initiatives created by brands from around the world are being shared. Additionally, participating executives have commented that "This is a good opportunity to share know-how. I can apply it to my own business."
To this day, the Toridoll Group has grown by creating unique "moving experiences" for each of its brands. In order to continue to create, refine, and evolve these "moving experiences" and continue to increase the number of fans, the "happiness of each and every employee" is of utmost importance. As one way of achieving this "happiness → moving management," an app dedicated to internal communication was created. This app transcends the boundaries of the brands to which employees belong, and allows for interaction with all employees, and we hope that through the app, each employee's happiness and excitement can be spread into a large "circle" with important colleagues.
The Toridoll Group has adopted the slogan "Fill the planet with the excitement of food," and aims to provide people all over the world with exciting food experiences through our products and services. Eating out is the "most familiar leisure activity," and we believe that by experiencing the excitement of food that our group provides, people will be able to satisfy their minds and bodies, leading to daily vitality.
The Toridoll Group operates a variety of food-related brands around the world, and each brand aims to provide customers with an emotional food experience. For example, we believe that an emotional experience can be achieved by appealing to all five senses of the customer, not just taste, through offering freshly made, handmade food and warm customer service, such as making udon noodles from scratch in each store, the steam rising from the cauldron visible from the open kitchen, the aroma of roasted coffee beans, and the sound of tempura being fried right in front of you.
