Message from the President

Working to enhance corporate value through diversity of business, people, and values

The Nisshinbo Group's mission is to contribute to society through business activities and is constantly changing. With our Corporate Philosophy “Change and Challenge! For the creation of the future of Earth and People,” the Nisshinbo Group aims to achieve further growth through portfolio transformation under the business policy "Realize a super-smart Society as an Environment and Energy Company group.”

The Group has defined its three strategic business domains as "Mobility," "Infrastructure & Safety," and "Life & Healthcare," and is developing its corporate activities around the pillars of Wireless and Communications, Micro Devices, and Chemicals, which are comprised of brake friction materials, chemicals, molding products and textiles.

The world of Wireless and Communications, and Micro Devices is responding to dramatic changes in mobility, such as the shift to EVs for cars, self-driving, and autonomous navigation for ships, as well as enabling telemedicine and watch-keeping services. First, we will address the immediate issue of extreme weather conditions by providing disaster prevention radio and sensor networks to protect people's lives from disasters. Furthermore, we will provide solutions to environmental issues with various environmental materials such as brake friction materials that occupy the largest share of the market, bipolar plates for fuel cells, communication systems such as private LTE and local 5G and semiconductors. In addition, we will continue to expand into the service business, leveraging technologies and products that we have mastered in manufacturing, such as radar, GPS, and ultrasonic sensors.

We believe that promoting sustainability management that protects and improves the global environment through these business activities will lead to the sustainable growth of our group. Moreover, we will meet the expectations of our various stakeholders, including customers, shareholders, employees, business partners, and local communities, by increasing profits as the total of added value through cooperation among capital, management, and labor in recognition of their respective authority and responsibilities.

While striving to achieve our environmental goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 (compared to 2014) and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, we also aim to transform and grow our business through diversity as a source of innovation and DX as an accelerator of innovation. In addition, we will not stop at legal compliance, but will act based on ethics as a human being, persistently promote human rights due diligence and D&I activities, and work to enhance corporate value by leveraging the diversity of our business, diversity of people, and diversity of values as our strengths.

We look forward to your continued support of the Nisshinbo Group, which sees a change as opportunity and continues to grow.
