ESG Management
However, the market is flooded with food filled with artificial additives.
NENIA strictly excludes synthetic additives and creates healthy, safe food.
Our commitment to ESG is grounded in concrete, ongoing practices.
NENIA is shaping a sustainable future through responsible and forward-looking management.
By contract-farming eco-friendly (non-pesticide/organic) Korean wheat, NENIA contributes to biodiversity and ecosystem preservation. These farming practices restore soil microbes, enable ecological circulation, and provide a safety net for all life on Earth, including humans.
99% of the flour consumed in Korea is imported. NENIA uses only eco- friendly domestic wheat to produce its goods and minimizes transportation distance to reduce carbon emissions.
We prioritise the use of FSC-certified low-carbon paper for product packaging. Promotional brochures also use FSC-certified paper and are produced annually to reduce resource waste.
With a focus on environmental issues caused by factory farming, NENIA actively develops and promotes plant-based products (such as vegetarian dumplings and soy-based meat).
Disposable items like paper cups and wet tissues are completely banned in offices and cafeterias, and all employees participate in a campaign to reduce disposable use.
Since its founding in 2004, NENIA has supplied “safe and eco-friendly food” to school meal programs, safeguarding children’s health. NENIA has never compromised its food production principles, strictly excluding synthetic additives and GMOs. These efforts have set a positive example in the industry and contributed to establishing a culture of safe and healthy school meals.
For over 20 years, NENIA has worked to promote the production and consumption of domestic wheat. Even before government wheat purchases began, NENIA engaged in contract farming to support sustainable partnerships with producers.
NENIA promotes a cooperative labor culture. It provides healthy eco- friendly lunches to employees and supports self-development expenses, health checkups, transportation, and housing costs.
NENIA partners with sheltered workshops employing individuals with developmental disabilities to produce its products. Some packaging features illustrations created by them, and a portion of sales is donated to disability organizations. NENIA supports their creativity and independence.
NENIA has signed agreements with local governments to promote wheat-based industries. Through cooperation among the central government, local governments, and producers, it practices sustainable management based on shared values.
NENIA regularly supports public interest groups such as the Korean Wheat Movement Headquarters, the Korean Red Cross, and Médecins Sans Frontières.
NENIA strictly adheres to its product philosophy: excluding synthetic additives and using eco-friendly, domestic ingredients. Its unwavering principles reflect the company's strong ethics. The company has established its own code of ethics and practices responsible management.
NENIA discloses 100% of the ingredients used in its products and shares its “Safe Food Manufacturing Principles” publicly. It continues its commitment to creating truly safe food.
We hold regular shareholders’ meetings with advance notice in accordance with corporate governance standards.
NENIA’s board includes field-based professionals such as eco-friendly farmers and food sustainability leaders, ensuring diversity. The company practices inclusive hiring without discrimination based on gender or age, fostering an equitable workplace culture.
