We believe that CSR is about realizing a sustainable society through our business activities in order to create a more affluent and healthy society for the future.
In an era of drastic and rapid changes, we recognize the importance of ESG practices as CSR and how they can promote our company's resilience and growth. Now, we are enhancing our ESG activities under the concept of our Mid-Term Management Plan (FY2021 – FY2025), which is to "become a value-creating company by boldly taking on challenging to provide solutions to issues related to the environment, society, and people (life)".

In FY2021, the first year of the Plan, we established a CSR Committee, and this Committee has set CSR Materiality. In FY2022, we fully implemented our CSR materiality initiatives, with particular emphasis on initiatives related to the environment and human resources. We’ve been promoting efforts to improve fuel efficiency in our manufacturing processes and to increase procurement of renewable energy. In the area of R&D, we have been working to expand our lineups and develop demand for non-petrochemical product groups, including research on the replacement of petrochemical-derived raw materials by biomass raw materials. In the area of human resources, we have been promoting measures, such as the introduction of a new personnel evaluation system that highly evaluates those who boldly take on difficult challenges, as well as establishment of training and education system that provides generous support for those who are willing to learn. In FY2023, we will further strengthen and accelerate these measures, promote diversity and inclusion, expand collaboration with local communities, and strengthen corporate governance.

To create a better future, we will promote sustainability initiatives through CSR based on our philosophy of “extensively contribute to the development of society through our product creation”.
