Sustainability Management

Shikibo Group's Management Philosophy is "We at the Shikibo Group create new value based on our manufacturing technology and culture. For the realization of a "safe, secure, and comfortable life" and "environmentally-friendly society."

In fiscal 2021, we have formulated a long-term vision "Mermaid 2042" targeting 2042, its 150th anniversary of our founding. And, we aim to be "Closer to you, building a bond between you and Shikibo Group. Closer to our employees, helping them to have joyful and fulfilling lives. Closer to our customers, creating technology made the future come true. Closer to the Earth, contributing to a sustainable society."

Based on the corporate philosophy and the long-term vision that shows our stance on sustainability, the Shikibo Group is aiming to work with all of our stakeholders to realize both a sustainable society and sustainable improvements to our corporate value.
Through the high quality, unique, eco-friendly products and services we have developed through our manufacturing technology and manufacturing culture, we are engaging in the resolution of environmental and societal issues.

Our group created a materiality map focused on the impact on our group, and the impact of our group on our stakeholders, and we have identified the following materialities as those which we should endeavor to engage in. We have defined substantive policies and goals for each materiality and important business activity, incorporated these into our business strategies and implemented initiatives.
