Challenges and changes toward the creation of a sustainable society

Dainichiseika Group has returned to the basics of creating new value and contributing to society for our sustainable growth, and is actively pursuing R&D activities to become a chemical manufacturer that proposes solutions to customers’ problems and creates a comfortable and sustainable society by strengthening its business foundation to respond quickly to the changing economic environment.

In order to embody the missions of the Medium-Term Management Plan, "Leverage our technological capabilities in niche markets so we can continue contributing to society" and "Work on finding solutions and create new value for a sustainable society," we have been working on "Secure a competitive advantage through technology initiatives" since the previous Medium-Term Management Plan. This is a paraphrase of our comprehensive technological capabilities as a manufacturer: to solve social issues, i.e., to accumulate technological capabilities to quickly respond to needs and provide number one products, and to apply technological seeds to create and propose only-one products with an eye to future social issues.

The "R&D Innovation Center Project," reiterated in the new medium-term management plan starting in the fiscal year ending March 2025, is a concept that reaffirms "technology fusion through collaboration" and "technological deepening and innovation to realize next-generation themes," based on discussions on the nature of R&D, and creates a "space where the knowledge of Dainichiseika Group can come together" to create maximum synergy for both existing and new businesses. We will engage in "challenge and innovation" in new products and businesses, without being restricted by existing priority themes.
