Following the business restructuring in the previous Medium-Term Management Plan FY21, the Noritsu Koki Group is now in the phase of establishing a management framework based on our new business portfolio. This will ensure the achievement of not only the Group’s medium-to-long-term goal but also sustainable growth.

As part of establishing the framework, we have defined four material issues that our Group will be working on in aim of addressing various social issues through our sustainability management in 2021. The material issues are strongly linked to our Mission (Prosperity for society and people), Vision (A corporate group that continues producing ‘No.1/Only 1’ businesses), business models, and based on the perspectives of our stakeholders as well. We have also set and disclosed our “Materiality Action Plan” and the goals, and are promoting efforts to resolve environmental, social, and governance issues based on the material issues.

Since last year, we have been publishing an integrated report as a communication tool for explaining our Group vision and how we plan to realize it. And now, I am pleased to announce the publication of the Integrated Report 2024 which mainly covers our efforts and initiatives in 2023. In putting together this year’s report, we did our best to explain the initiatives of the three core Group companies from the perspective of how they each create value for society. I hope you will find it useful in gaining a deeper understanding of the Group.

The Group will remain committed to building good relationships with our stakeholders including shareholders and investors, while striving to create value for our customers and society that ensures our sustainable growth by investing resources in the four material issues.
