Sustainability

The approach our Group should take to sustainability is to pursue the diverse functions of plastics and further expand their potential, while minimizing the environmental impact of existing products and increasing their contribution to achieving the SDGs. At the same time, we should work to create new environmental and social value by bringing new products and services to society.

Our Group will strive to generate appropriate economic value by raising awareness among customers and society of the positive intrinsic value of the plastics we provide, and work to continuously improve our corporate value through these comprehensive efforts.
