Message from the President

As a business leader, what I value most is Toyobo Group's corporate philosophy, “Jun-Ri-Soku-Yu.” (adhering to reason leads to prosperity). The phrase was one of founder Eiichi Shibusawa's personal mottos and means, “Do what should be done and create greater prosperity in society.” I believe this philosophy is the foundation that will enable Toyobo Group to remain essential to society.

In recent years, companies have been expected to take on greater responsibility for addressing climate change, advancing resource circularity, respecting human rights, and fostering diversity. Under Sustainable Vision 2030, formulated in 2022, Toyobo Group has been advancing initiatives to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society. We will view changes in the external environment not only as risks but also as opportunities, and pursue sustainable development for Toyobo Group together with society.

Toyobo Group promotes human capital management based on the belief that people and organizations are the driving force behind sustainable growth and value creation. We aim to realize a virtuous cycle in which the company and each individual grow together by developing “Talent for co-creation and transformation,” building “Agile and resilient organization,” and fostering “Well-being and fulfillment at work,” while creating an environment in which every employee can realize their full potential. We are also driving management transformation through TX (Toyobo-Transformation). By actively leveraging advances in digital and AI technologies, we are rethinking our organization and ways of working, accelerating productivity improvements and new value creation, and strengthening the corporate foundation that provides value to society and supports sustainable growth.

These challenges and transformation are driven by the efforts of each and every colleague across Toyobo Group. From management to frontline colleagues, we will work as One Team to drive the realization of a sustainable society, create value with the future in mind, and enhance corporate value. Together with all our stakeholders, we will continue taking on the challenge of creating a better future for people and the planet.
