"The SAKATA INX Group was established in 1896 and has contributed to the progress of society for more than a century through its business in fields such as printing inks and functional materials. However, the business environment in which the group operates has changed significantly over recent years. The situation we are in is one where unprecedented, non-continuous change can occur, changes such as the shift from paper to digital media, increased demand for environmentally friendly packaging, and an increased demand for solutions for a range of social issues through business.
Against a backdrop of such changes in the business environment and in order for the SAKATA INX Group to grow sustainably as a company that society needs, we have created a Long-term Strategic Vision that sets out the group’s future targets and the direction we will take, and we are working to make this a reality by 2030. In terms of strategic direction, we will work to expand our existing business while at the same time creating new businesses that practically apply the technology we have built up over the course of many years. And in addition to dealing with changes in the business environment, we are undertaking internal reforms and working on unprecedented new challenges in order to create a corporate culture where we create change ourselves. Furthermore, we will also put ESG management into practice in order to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by placing finding answers to global environmental challenges and a range of other social issues at the center of all of our business activities.
By producing social and economic value through its business activities, the SAKATA INX Group will work to further increase its corporate value, so we look forward to the continued understanding and support of all of our stakeholders."
