Our Group upholds "Prioritize sustainability while contributing to society" as one of the core missions in our group mission statement.
　For a company to achieve long-term growth and prosperity, it is essential that not only the business itself but also the society surrounding it remains prosperous and sustainable. Companies must not solely pursue their own profits while disregarding others. As an integral member of the society, a company must reflect on what contributions it can make and what responsibilities it must fulfill.
　Moreover, designers of high-end products in North America and Europe—our key customers—are firmly convinced of the importance of sustainability and continually seek sustainable, high-quality materials. As a result, sustainability initiatives play a vital role in business expansion. In the wake of the pandemic, the escalation of military conflicts and the inflation worldwide have raised concerns about the decline of ESG management and increasing societal divisions. However, we remain steadfast in our commitment to realizing a sustainable society and are determined to fulfill our corporate responsibilities without compromise.
　At the end of 2024, we completed the Chiyoda Plant, equipped with a hydrogen boiler and state-of-the-art water treatment facilities. Recognized as the sustainability-focused facility, it attracted significant attention during the guided tour for airline industry customers, generating a strong response. This reaffirmed our awareness of our customers' high level of interest in sustainability and strengthened our belief that our initiatives contribute to the future of the industry.
　As climate change mitigation efforts and the transition to a circular economy accelerate, corporate social responsibility is becoming increasingly important. Under the leadership of our Chief Sustainability Officer, our Group will continue to fulfill its role as an industry-leading company and strive to be a trusted presence for all stakeholders.
