Our group's "Niterra Way" includes the corporate philosophy and the CSR and Sustainability Charter, includes terms such as "offering new value" and "contributing" to the people over the world, expressing our desire to contribute to solving social issues through our businesses, which leads to sustainability. With this in mind, we are promoting our efforts in this field, recognizing that our mission and raison d'être is to create products and services that help solve the various social issues facing the world, such as climate change, energy problems, environmental destruction, and food issues.
Specifically, based on our commitment to contributing to solving social issues through our business, we express our support for and commitment to international norms, goals, and guidelines toward the realization of a sustainable society. We are also building a CSR and sustainability promotion system that reflects this in our CSR Basic Policy, which sets out our group's action guidelines.

As we begin the second half of our "Long-Term Management Plan 2030," we have reaffirmed our vision for 2040: "We will be a company that brightens the Earth by solving social issues through our unique, Tokushu, technologies and ideas." As a global company, we will address global social issues, including environmental problems, and aim for the sustainable development of society. Furthermore, we have organized our Key Management Priorities into three areas: "solving social issues," "human capital," and "management foundation." Based on the fundamental concept of strengthening our management foundation while investing in human capital to achieve the resolution of social issues, we will disseminate these basic ideas throughout the company, focusing on the specific important initiatives we have been pursuing, and work together as a group to address social issues.

Our group aims to gain the trust of stakeholders by proactively disclosing information and increasing management transparency regarding these various initiatives, and to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by creating businesses and services that balance contributing to solving social issues with economic growth, thereby improving our corporate value.
