Expectations for companies to address sustainability issues are growing year by year. With the emergence of diverse issues such as climate change,the circular economy, and reducing plastic usage, the artience Group must firmly fulfill its responsibilities as a chemical manufacturer. At the same time, we keenly feel the expansion of new business opportunities, as chemistry plays a significant role in the process of solving these issues.

The artience Group has established a Sustainability Vision for 2050, and is engaged in initiatives centered around three core pillars: providing products and services that realize a sustainable society, reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing, and building a foundation for trust. In February 2025, we formulated our new Group Materiality to support the realization of this vision. In formulating Group Materiality 2025-2030, we identified 15 material sustainability themes for our Group, ensuring alignment with our Management Plan and Sustainability Vision, and reflecting the latest social demands and trends, while remaining true to the identity of artience. We also set targets and KPIs with 2030 as the goal, and began implementing them as of February 2025.

In response to climate change, we plan to reduce global Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 26% compared to FY2020 levels by FY2030 as an interim target, with the ultimate goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. In terms ratio of sustainability-enhancing products to 80% by FY2030, and to 100% by FY2050. Human capital is also one of the pillars of our Group Materiality. Our corporate philosophy of "people-oriented management" is our fundamental approach toward human capital, and we have consistently upheld this philosophy even through our corporate name change. 
The organization as a whole is nothing without individuals. We believe that maximizing the value and strengths of each individual will ultimately lead to the improved performance of the entire Group. We have also launched new HR systems to manifest this philosophy. We have established systems that support independent career development and taking on new challenges, such as the Career Challenge System, which allows employees to transfer to their desired departments, and Plus Try, which appropriately evaluates employees' attempts at new challenges and their results, and reflects them in remuneration.

Following our 2024 company name change, we have steadily advanced initiatives that integrate business strategy and sustainability through our new management plan and the formulation of our Vision and Group Materiality. We will work to achieve transformation for sustainable growth to meet the expectations of our current and future stakeholders.

President and Representative Director, Group CEO
