Asahi Group

Asahi Group is a global beer, spirits, soft drinks, and food business group and is among the largest brewers in Asia. The company was founded in 1889 and launched Japan's first bottled beer in 1900.

However, the largest proportion of revenue still comes from its alcoholic beverages business.

Summary

Asahi Group performs below average overall and ranks 38th in the food and agriculture sector with a score of 15.2 out of 100. It performs moderate to below-average performance across all measurement areas, with the most significant room for improvement in the violence and harassment area, where its performance falls below average.

While the company does have a public commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment, like majority of the companies in the benchmark, Asahi Group has the opportunity to enhance its policies by disclosing both its global primary caregiver leave and secondary caregiver policies and aligning them with ILO standards of at least 14 weeks and 2 weeks, respectively. Furthermore, the company can strengthen its commitment to a safe workplace by revealing its remediation process for addressing grievances related to violence and harassment. Additionally, it can provide more information regarding whether it requires its suppliers to establish an effective remediation process for addressing violence and harassment grievances among their workers.
