At the heart of Kirin Holdings Company, Limited is a deep-seated philosophy that brings joy to society by crafting food and healthcare products inspired by the blessings of nature and the insights of our customers. Our journey began in 1885 with the establishment of the Japan Brewery Company, and since our evolution into Kirin Brewery in 1907, we have consistently expanded our horizons. Our core strengths lie in fermentation and biotechnology, which have been the bedrock of our innovation for over a century. This heritage has allowed us to venture beyond our renowned beer and beverage offerings into the realms of pharmaceuticals and health sciences, creating a diverse portfolio that addresses the evolving needs of a global community. Our long-term management vision, 'Kirin Group Vision 2027,' positions Creating Shared Value (CSV) at the core of our management. We aspire to be a global leader in CSV, generating value that transcends from our food and beverage business to our pharmaceutical endeavors, ultimately contributing to the health and well-being of people worldwide.
