Following the business restructuring through 2019 and 2021, the Noritsu Koki Group has worked to establish a management framework based on its new business portfolio in the previous Medium-Term Management Plan FY25. In February 2025, the Group formulated and announced its new Medium-Term Management Plan FY30 with a target year of 2030. We are now in the phase of leap forward for achieving the Group's medium- to long-term goal and sustainable growth.

In 2021, we defined four material issues that our Group will be working on in aim of addressing various social issues through our sustainability management. 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.

Since2023, 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 2025 which mainly covers our efforts and initiatives in 2024. It provides a comprehensive overview of the Group’s management policies, current business status, growth strategies, and initiatives aimed at creating social value and promoting sustainability. The report also includes information that will help you understand the business foundations and specific sustainable growth initiatives of each Group company. 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.
