The Norinchukin Bank VALUE REPORT 2020 VALUE REPORT 2020 2 3 Our work at The Norinchukin Bank won’t change the world overnight. Our focus is on the agriculture, fishery and forestry industries. This means that nature is our partner, and nothing in nature bears fruit overnight. Industries in this sector don’t make things —they produce and nurture life as a legacy for future generations. This is precisely why we are dedicated to serving those who sustain these industries and their local communities, no matter how small the scale of their operations. As the financial institution wholly devoted to this sector —the very cornerstone of our nation, we strive consistently to generate solid outcomes in the global financial markets. Our history spans more than 90 years. But that alone is no longer enough. We must take on a greater role than ever before if this sector is to continue developing in response to the changing times. We must harness our financial knowledge to make new contributions that extend beyond our past functions and scope. We must do our utmost to address on-the-ground issues. We must respond to the needs not only of producers, but also to those of processors, distributors and consumers. The life generated by the agriculture, fishery and forestry industries sprouts the workings of all life well into the future. Now is the time for each and every one of us to give our all. We aim to make the chain of life that connects us to the future more bounteous and more certain. 4 VALUE REPORT 2020 5 Contents PART 1 Goals of The Norinchukin Bank 6 The Norinchukin Bank’s Value Creation Model 8 Our Features 10 Medium-Term Management Plan 12 Digital Innovation and Sustainability Management 14 PART 2 Three Value-Creating Businesses 16 Food & Agriculture Business 18 Retail Business 26 Investment Business 30 Corporate Data 35 4 VALUE REPORT 2020 5 PART 1 Goals of The Norinchukin Bank 6 VALUE REPORT 2020 7 6 VALUE REPORT 2020 7 The Norinchukin Bank’s Value Creation Model Resources and Strengths The Norinchukin Bank’s Business Abundant food and agriculture knowledge 97 years and leading-edge financial knowledge History of supporting the agriculture, fishery The Norinchukin Bank and forestry industries through finance Business Model 18 years Integrated management of JA Bank composed of 585 JAs and 32 JA Shinnorens Agriculture Agriculture Investment Investment Business Business Business years Food & 22 Retail Got into globally diversified investments ahead of the times forestry industries into growth networks to turn the agriculture, fishery and business community and expands their Supports and connects producers the while achieving efficient management diverse financial needs in each region JA Bank and JF Marine meet management investments based on advanced risk to long term through globally diversified Ensures stable profit over the medium 3,477 groups Members of The Norinchukin Bank Stable deposits and financial base trillion yen Network of cooperatives 104.1 JA Bank savings balance Cooperative INPUT system 2.6 trillion yen JF Marine Bank savings balance A (S&P) A1 (Moody’s) Credit rating 23.02 % Total capital ratio Corporate & Shared Services Supports the three business areas and promotes new initiatives such as digital innovation and sustainability management 28.8 billion yen Expert human resources Total assets per employee (non-consolidated basis) 3,588 people Number of employees Our Mission Supporting the Contributing to Facilitating funding advancement of for cooperative the agriculture, fishery the development of 119 people organizations the nation’s economy Number of employees and forestry industries who have studied overseas (= number of employees Our Vision who have obtained MBA/LLM) Leading bank that supports the agriculture, fishery and forestry industries, food production and consumption, and the daily lives of local communities 8 VALUE REPORT 2020 9 The Norinchukin Bank’s Value Creation Model Value Provided Business Achievements to Society Turning the agriculture, fishery and forestry industries Turning communities Revitalize local income Increase producers’ Seed money Support industries* for the AFF As the main bank Agricultural Consulting for leaders corporations AgTech investment Value provided to local communities, inhabitants and national land through collaboration with the cooperative system Value Turning the into growth industries agriculture, fishery and Enhance corporate value agriculture value chain Offer food and forestry OUTPUT Cooperation with regions Connect and firms industries into of Japan agricultural bank As the food and Japanese Procurement/development food and sustainable of sales channels agriculture growth companies industries Support for overseas expansion Providing return of profit and financial functions business transactions Leading Asian food and agriculture food Bridge to the world based on Stable supply fishery and forestry industries Business achievements related to the agriculture, of safe and Global investment network Expand secure food institution financial As a global Global Operation of food and food and agricultural fund agriculture companies Connecting Japanese companies Revitalizing *AFF industries = Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry industries the infrastructure Agriculture-related loans (JA Bank overall) in rural areas Providing financial services right across the country Total 2.5 trillion yen JA JA Shinnoren The Norinchukin Bank 1.2 trillion yen 0.8 trillion yen 0.5 trillion yen Preserving local diversity No.2 in Japan No.3in Japan 92 vehicles Total number of JA Bank JA Bank share of The number of mobile branches in Japan individual deposits branches introduced Protecting the land Generating and marine profits environment Approx. 400.0 billion yen Returns to members profits earned from the Investment Business and the Food & Agriculture Business Developing the economy through the agriculture, fishery and Our Value forestry Dedicated to sustaining all life.

    Lake Mattamuskeet Frequently Asked Questions

    1 Lake Mattamuskeet Frequently Asked Questions Since so many of these questions refer to monitoring activities in the Lake and Pamlico Sound, you may want to reference the following pages: o Summary of Lake Monitoring activities: http://nc.water.usgs.gov/projects/mattamuskeet/ o Summary of Bell Island Pier activities: http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=f52ab347d5e84ccc921b 75c34fea42d5&extent=-77.5214,34.7208,-75.2252,36.3212 1. How deep is the lake? Lake depth varies from a few inches to five feet, with an average depth ranging from two to three feet depending on the season. Water levels are deepest in late fall, winter, early spring and during years with above average rainfall due to evaporation and precipitation. The deepest portions are located in the northwest portion of the lake. (see bathymetric map below). You can access the current water levels by visiting the USGS website (East and West) for Lake Mattamuskeet. Updated 10/12/16 2 2. Why is the lake so high/low? Lake levels fluctuate on a daily, seasonal and yearly basis. Water levels are primarily determined by climatic conditions. Generally, seasonal lake levels follow a pattern of being lower in the summer due to high evaporation rates and higher in fall, winter and spring due to lower evaporation rates and greater precipitation. Lake levels will increase by a few inches after a heavy rain. During wet years with lots of precipitation, water levels will rise; during drought years, water levels will fall. You can access current water levels by visiting the USGS website for Lake Mattamuskeet (East and West).

  • Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing

    Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing

    Chapter 19 Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing Keno Ferter, Steven J. Cooke, Odd-Børre Humborstad, Jonatan Nilsson, and Robert Arlinghaus Abstract Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe, and fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increasing attention in some countries, particularly in central and northern Europe and Australia. This chapter offers an introduction to recreational fishing, reviews literature on fish welfare in relation to recreational fishing and provides an overview of potential biological impacts and ways to reduce such impacts. We first focus on the question on how to reduce impacts on the welfare of the fish during recreational fishing. Second, we describe two case studies highlighting that practical implications of the fish welfare discourse may be disjointed from the scientific information base and be rather about fundamental moral questions about the ethical acceptability of the activity per se. We end by providing an outlook on the future of recreational fishing in the light of the current fish welfare discourse. Keywords Best practice guidelines · Catch-and-release · Fish welfare · Function- based approach · Recreational fishing · Sublethal impacts Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe (Arlinghaus et al. 2015, 2019). Apart from the recognized biological and socio-economic importance of recreational fishing, fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increas- ing attention in some countries and in the academic literature (Huntingford et al. 2006; Arlinghaus et al. 2007a, b, 2012b; Cooke and Sneddon 2007; Volpato 2009; Arlinghaus and Schwab 2011).
