Our 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.
In addition, in our "2030 Long-Term Management Plan NITTOKU BX," we have identified "Priority Issues (Materiality)" related to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), set goals for 2030, and are working to achieve them. In particular, in response to climate change, we have introduced an internal carbon pricing system and are working to reduce CO₂ emissions across the entire group, with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. In the business field, we will promote initiatives such as the "SUISO no MORI” (Hydrogen Forest) Project, which aims to the early realization of a hydrogen and circular carbon based society, and the development of solutions such as Regional CCU® (Carbon dioxide Capture Utilization), which includes methanation.
Furthermore, we believe that the "human resources" who will carry out these initiatives are a company's greatest management resource, and we will work to maximize our human capital by improving the engagement of each employee.

Our group aims to gain the trust of stakeholders by proactively disclosing information and increasing management transparency, 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.
