To contribute to a sustainable society by combining the power of "chemistry" and "technology" to support people's happy lives.

In 2018, our centennial year, we established a corporate slogan "Giving Shape to Infinite Possibilities." This slogan reflects the Carlit Group's ambition to continue themes of the favorite mottos of our founder, Asano Soichiro: "奮闘努力 (strenuous effort)" and "九転十起 (always rise up after repeated setbacks)." These mottos express our determination to rise up in the face of every adversity and to start essential businesses for society with a determined fighting spirit and to never give up. Although we are facing severe economic conditions surrounding corporate management - getting tougher than ever - now is the time to return to our founding spirit and together harness the strength of all the Group's employees, our driving force, to actively tackle the difficult issues.

We have determined that, as our outlook for the future, our vision for the Group in 2030 is "To contribute to a sustainable society by combining the power of "chemistry" and "technology" to support people's happy lives." To achieve this vision, we have started a new three-year medium-term management plan entitled "Challenge 2024" with fiscal 2022 as the first year. We will promote growth businesses by facing various social issues, such as the realization of a super-smart society and convenient and secure infrastructure and mobility. We will also continue to take on the challenges of R&D, M&A, and the development of new and overseas businesses as we reinforce our business foundation of existing businesses with a proven track record and reliability.

In addition, we will actively work to address climate change, improve the working environment to promote work style reform and enhance employee engagement, further strengthen our governance structure, and promote DX, which has been lagging, in order to respond to the demands of ESG. We thank you for your continued support.
