Long-term vision and mission

We are pursuing solutions for social issues and improving our corporate value as a group in line with our Vision and Mission.

Vision

Contributing to a bright future for people and nature

Mission

To continue being a company trusted by all stakeholders

Materiality and KPI

Based on our new medium-term management plan, TOCALO 2030, which was announced in May 2026, we have held numerous discussions on key issues we must address to realize sustainable growth and enhance corporate value.

Under TOCALO 2030, we are carrying forward the vision of the previous plan while adopting a new mission of “To continue being a company trusted by all stakeholders.” To realize this mission, we have identified six elements that support trust, as well as the governance that serves as their foundation, as materialities.

The Board of Directors determined the details of the materialities following discussions and deliberations with the Sustainability Committee.
