Recently, we at Asahi Group held an internal workshop aimed at deepening our understanding of human rights. We screened a thought-provoking documentary film on the human rights of producers, sparking a valuable discussion amongst our members　about their relevance to our industry and our organization.   Our guest speaker, Akiko SATO from UNDP, who is an expert on human rights,  raised a compelling question: "What can we, as a community, do at both corporate and individual levels, towards nature and the planet?" This sparked an insightful discussion about our responsibilities, as businesses and individuals, in respecting nature and the planet on a larger scale and within our communities.   We are committed to continuing these conversations and taking actions that reflect our dedication to human rights and sustainability.   #HumanRights #CorporateResponsibility #Sustainability

Today, we're proud to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Nikka Whisky's founding. It all began with the ambition of our founder, Masataka Taketsuru, to make authentic #whisky in Japan.   In 1934, he established our first distillery in Yoichi, Hokkaido. He meticulously chose this location due to its ideal conditions for whisky-making, including a cold climate, moderate humidity levels, crisp clean air, and an abundant supply of fresh water.   As we celebrate this milestone, our masterful craftsmanship continues to shine. We remain committed to sharing our passion with whisky lovers across the globe. With gratitude to all our customers and stakeholders who have supported us for more than 90 years, let’s cheers to the journey ahead! 🥃   #Nikka #Nikka90thAnniversary
