Our Group’s "Niterra Way" includes the Corporate Philosophy and the Sustainability Charter, which feature terms such as "offering new value" and "contributing" to people around the world, expressing our aspiration to contribute to solving social issues through our business, leading to sustainability. With this in mind, we recognize that creating products and services that help solve various challenges facing the world, such as climate change, energy issues, and food issues, is our mission and reason for being, and we are promoting initiatives with "Mobility," "Semiconductors," and "Environment & Energy" as our focus domains.

Our Group views sustainability as "achieving sustainable growth together with society by continually executing strategic and proactive measures while balancing economic rationality and the solution of social issues." As specific initiatives, with contribution through the solution of social issues via our business as our axis, toward the realization of a sustainable society, we express our support for international norms, goals, and guidelines, while reflecting them in our Sustainability Basic Policy, which outlines our Group's code of conduct, and establishing a sustainability promotion system.

Currently, as our vision for 2040, we have established: "We will be a company that brightens the Earth by solving social issues through our unique, Tokushu, technologies and ideas." Toward its realization, we have defined Key Management Priorities in three areas: "solving social issues," "human capital," and "management foundation." Under the basic concept of making investments in human capital while strengthening our management foundation to achieve the resolution of social issues, centered on the main initiatives we have conventionally pursued, we will permeate these basic ideas within the company and work together as a group to solve social issues.

Our Group will continue to gain trust from our stakeholders by proactively disclosing information and enhancing management transparency, while aiming to improve corporate value by creating businesses and services that balance the solution of social issues with economic growth.
