To All Shareholders and Investors

Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support and patronage.

Under our Mid-Term Business Plan for fiscal 2020 to 2023, our group upheld our vision of “a company that makes your dreams for the future a reality” by expanding the possibilities of plastics and creating value for our customers. We are accelerating our efforts to realize our vision.

We are promoting “One Sumibe” activities, which provide solutions to customers beyond business segment across the whole company, worldwide and taking on the challenge of a new business model. Also, to build a strong management base, we must evolve our organizational culture. In fiscal 2021, we reviewed the personnel and business goal systems of management employees to foster a culture of appreciation of challenges. In addition, since we feel that promotion of DX is important to support these efforts, we are investing in the following three themes: R&D, "Monozukuri (manufacturing)", and daily operations. Furthermore, we will proactively address sustainability issues, such as increasing the percentage of revenue from sales of products that contribute to the SDGs, the challenge of becoming carbon neutral, and initiatives related to the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures). By further deepening and accelerating these activities, we believe that we will be able to steadily approach the realization of a company that provides dreams for the future.

By realizing our vision, we will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and make the dreams of our stakeholders come true. Thank you for your continued support.
