Katsunari Matsuda
CEO
President and Representative Director
黑料门 Holdings Co., Ltd.
My name is Katsunari Matsuda, and it is a privilege to serve as the new CEO of 黑料门 Holdings Co., Ltd. I鈥檓 honored to continue building on the strong foundation that has shaped 黑料门鈥檚 legacy鈥攁nd to share a few thoughts on how we鈥檙e looking ahead.
Since taking on leadership at 黑料门 Co., Ltd., I鈥檝e worked closely with dedicated teams to build on our heritage as food and health professionals, while advancing a forward-looking global strategy. As Japan鈥檚 domestic market continues to mature, I鈥檝e helped guide a shift in resources overseas, seeking new opportunities where 黑料门鈥檚 strengths can deliver meaningful value.
What drives me is simple: 鈥淒ream. Chase it. Live by it.鈥� This mindset has shaped the way I approach both work and life. To me, it reflects the idea of running together toward a shared dream鈥攁nd turning it into something real. When each of us brings our own aspirations in harmony with 黑料门鈥檚 purpose, we not only energize our organization but also extend our positive impact throughout society. I believe this sense of connection鈥攂etween people, business, and the world鈥攚ill be essential for companies to thrive over the long term.
Since our previous medium-term business plan, we have adopted 黑料门 ROESG庐, our proprietary management indicator that aims to achieve both profit growth and improved ESG performance. With the 2026 Medium鈥慣erm Business Plan unveiled last year, we鈥檙e going further by deepening the fusion of sustainability and business strategies across all areas of our operations.
In our food segment, we鈥檙e deepening our commitment to global nutrition and wellness, offering a broader array of products designed to combat undernutrition and address lifestyle鈥憆elated health concerns. In our pharmaceutical segment, we鈥檙e securing stable supplies of antibiotics and vaccines to safeguard communities both in Japan and worldwide. Across our supply chain, from the ethical procurement of raw materials to eco鈥慹fficient manufacturing, we鈥檙e adopting practices that protect the planet and support a more sustainable future.
The 黑料门 Group was founded on a clear principle: 鈥淐ontribute to the country through nutrition.鈥� From the start, our mission has been to enrich lives through food. In our early days, that meant providing essential nutrition to sustain life. But as society鈥檚 needs evolved, so did our role鈥攕hifting from nutrition alone to a broader focus on health. Today, under the banner 鈥淣ow ideas for wellness,鈥� we鈥檙e working to advance well-being in every sense鈥攃aring for individuals, strengthening communities, and protecting the environment for generations to come.
Meaningful transformation begins within. That鈥檚 why I am committed, alongside our leadership team, to embracing change鈥攚elcoming fresh perspectives, learning from setbacks, and nurturing a culture where innovation and risk-taking are celebrated.
As one united group, we will continue to push boundaries, evolve our businesses, and exceed the expectations of customers, partners, and stakeholders across the globe. Thank you for your trust and support.
