- We are a manufacturing company that uses precious metals and rare minerals, and due to the nature of our business, which handles many chemical substances, it is essential that we consider the global environment. We will conduct our business activities on the premise of making effective use of resources and contributing to the creation of a sustainable society, thereby continuously reducing our environmental impact.
- Under our corporate philosophy of "Using the curiosity of chemistry to benefit electronics," we are committed to building a bridge between fine chemicals and electronics by addressing social issues such as global environmental risks, lifestyle changes, and energy shifts, while deepening cooperation with stakeholders and demonstrating our diverse perspectives and originality. We aim to be a bridge between fine chemicals and electronics.
- We recognize that materiality issues surrounding sustainability are important management issues that not only reduce risks to our business but also lead to revenue opportunities, and we will work diligently to address these issues. We aim to achieve sustainable growth and increase our corporate value along with contributing to the sustainable development of society through our business.
Sustainability Promotion System
Our sustainability management is promoted by the Sustainability Committee as the core organization.
The Sustainability Committee selects the Company's issues (risks and opportunities), including climate-related/human capital issues, etc., from the perspective of risk management and compliance, and reports to the Executive Committee (*1) on the Action Forecast for Materiality, transition plans and specific initiatives for each issue, as well as targets and indicators. The Management Committee then submits the materiality action plans, transition plans and specific initiatives for each issue, as well as targets and benchmarks, to the Board of Directors for approval.
Actual efforts to achieve the targets are carried out by the subcommittees of the Sustainability Committee, theme-based working groups, or departments in charge of business divisions.
The Sustainability Committee meets regularly to evaluate efforts to achieve the goals, review the progress of the goals based on the indicators, and periodically report to the Board of Directors via the Executive Committee on important matters such as the progress of the Forecast and adaptation measures. The Board of Directors oversees the Transition Forecast by checking the degree of achievement of the goals related to the Action Plan and Transition Plan, while paying attention to the consistency with the company's strategy, business plan, and risk management policies, and by considering whether or not the Transition Forecast needs to be revised.
