Message from the President

President and Representative Director
Akira Kishimoto

Addressing pollution issues at our facilities in the early 1970s taught us the critical importance of environmental conservation for sustaining our business. Glass manufacturing requires substantial energy and resources, and we use what we have learned to reduce consumption and minimize the environmental impact of our operations. We are committed to conducting our business in harmony with the environment. We also recognize the importance of strengthening human capital, the driving force behind long-term value creation, as well as fostering harmonious coexistence with local communities.

In 2017, we established a fundamental philosophy clarifying that these initiatives are integral to our business operations, that we conduct our activities in line with our corporate philosophy, and that we are committed to enhancing corporate value while contributing to a sustainable society. Building on our history of environmental awareness and action, we identified materiality issues and established the policies that form the foundation of our corporate social responsibility initiatives.

To further advance Group strategies for sustainable growth, we redefined our fundamental approach to sustainability and revised our sustainability promotion structure and materiality, effective January 1, 2026.
Sustainability is a core element in our strategy for achieving sustainable growth that is in harmony with the environment, society, and the economy, and it is essential to continuing to build our corporate value.
To support these initiatives, we will make effective use of our management resources, including human resources, capital, assets, technology, and information, while maintaining robust corporate governance to ensure effective execution of sustainability management.

We look forward to your continued support as we work to further strengthen the trust and confidence of our stakeholders.
