SDGs Management Initiatives
Sustainability Approaches and Initiatives
In order to realize our vision for 2030, "a corporate Group of outstanding value that contributes to a sustainable society," we have formulated a Medium-term Management Plan through "NCI KIRARI 2025". Under the Plan, we consider the SDGs as an important goal for sustainability management, and have established materialities that are closely related to our mission of "Creating new value with our technological capability, we help make society more prosperous," and that will lead to our contribution to the SDGs. We will provide a wide range of valuable products by mastering and integrating the technologies we have cultivated over the years, and by realizing the materialities, we will strive to sustainably enhance our corporate value and realize a sustainable society.
the five Materialities
We have identified five materialities (important issues) that are closely related to the realization of our Group's mission (Creating new value with our technological capability, we help make society more prosperous), based on our understanding of changes in social interests and needs.
