2050 aims to realize a world where people can lead affluent
lifestyles in harmony with the Earth.
The Group uses the concept of “overall eco-efficiency”
by taking into consideration coexisting with the Earth as
well as creation of new value, and aims to increase overall
eco-efficiency tenfold by 2050 compared to the 2000 level.
To achieve this goal, we are strategically promoting
initiatives aimed at reducing the environmental impact of
all our products and business activities, from the
perspective of mitigation of climate change, efficient use
of resources, and management of chemicals, based on

“Greening of Process”,
Greening of Products”
and “Greening by
Technology,” and with
“Green Management”
as the foundation that
supports these
concepts.
