To inspire the brilliance of life, by creating rich experiences for people,
in harmony with nature.

We aim “to inspire the brilliance of life.” This is our corporate motto established by Keizo Saji, the second president of Suntory 50 years ago, and our enduring commitment across generations.
Human life, however, is not the only brilliance in this world. Human life cannot be brilliant without the brilliance of nature and society. This is why we must protect the natural ecosystems that produce the gifts we enjoy on this earth.
Think about when we experience the brilliance of human life. Times when we are happy. Times when we feel inspired. Times when we are living life as our whole self. We utilize the gifts of nature in our craftmanship to ensure that we have these moments. We contribute to cultural activities and give back to society

A Message from our President Suntory Group’s Sustainable Management

Suntory Group’s Targets Toward 2030

We are engaged in seeking solutions to the wide range of challenges facing the world and are continuing efforts to realize sustainability. In 2019, we established Suntory Group Sustainability Vision, consisting of 7 themes, to drive sustainability management across Suntory Group.
Among them, we have set targets toward 2030 for the 3 environment-related themes of water, climate action, and containers and packaging, and are leading the way with pioneering initiatives in these areas.
