Nissin Food Holdings: Credible data enhances palm oil sourcing

Our collaboration with Satelligence has transformed our sustainability initiatives by turning complex challenges into clear, data-driven actions that create measurable impact.

Since 1958, Nissin Food Holdings has been guided by its founding philosophy, Shoku Sei; the belief that if there is enough good food in the world, the world becomes more peaceful.

In this interview, Kaya Tanii, Head of Sustainability Strategy, explains how Nissin is strengthening its global palm oil supply chain through highly credible, decision-ready geospatial intelligence.

Key insights from the conversation:

• Following a six-month Satelligence pilot in Sumatra, Nissin scaled to comprehensive monitoring across Indonesia, Malaysia, and now across its global palm oil supply chain.
• High-resolution satellite analysis enables deforestation events to be directly connected to Nissin’s supplier base, supporting precise and prioritised engagement.
• The ability to distinguish natural forest loss from plantation replanting provides defensible evidence for confident supplier dialogue.
• Robust geospatial insights enhance TNFD LEAP analysis and create a shared, data-driven foundation between sustainability and supply chain teams.
• Satellite-derived risk identification has informed targeted, on-the-ground smallholder support programmes.
