President's Message
As global climate change intensifies and geopolitical risks continue to make social conditions unstable, we are working to strengthen our management foundation and our ability to address social issues through our business so that we can respond flexibly to all kinds of changes. Even in a world of complex changes, our core technologies, our areas of strength in Observation, Measurement, and Analysis, are indispensable for knowing things correctly and have the potential to solve various social issues. We make the invisible visible. We make the unknowable comprehensible. Knowing the task correctly is the starting point for solving social issues. Based on the recognition that knowing correctly is the starting point for changing the world, we engage in responsible dialogue with our stakeholders. We also contribute to solving social issues and realizing a sustainable society through our business by leveraging our cutting-edge technological development capabilities, products that leverage our strengths in Observation, Measurement, and Analysis, and our global network cultivated through our trading company business.
Based on the SDGs, which are common rules for the international community and positioned as targets to be achieved, the Group has identified five materialities and clarified what social issues it should address and how it can contribute to society by utilizing its business characteristics and business model to meet society's demands.
In addition, our "Sustainability 2030" Declaration clearly states the Group's commitment to creating value from the perspective of social issues by backcasting from its Vision for 2030. We aim to achieve our Vision for 2030 and change the world by “knowing correctly” to provide solutions that focus on the real issues that need to be solved for society and our customers.
