The Denka Group, founded in 1915 and celebrating its 110th anniversary this year, has continued to develop and provide unique technologies and products to contribute to the advancement of society since its establishment.

The world today is facing complex and serious challenges, including climate change, population issues, economic disparities, social inequalities, and conflicts. Furthermore, rapidly evolving technology is dramatically changing the way of life and redefining business.
To clarify once again the significance of the Denka Group’s existence under these circumstances, we have formulated a new vision that combines the opinions of our young employees, who will be the core of the Group in the future, with the thoughts of our management team. With our purpose, "Make the world a better place as specialists in chemistry," we have made a new start in the fiscal year 2023.

At the same time, we have formulated Mission 2030, a management plan for the period up to fiscal year 2030, to improve our corporate value through three growth strategies: “Business Value Creation”, “Human Resources Value Creation”, and “Management Value Creation”. We aim to make all of our business segments "three-star businesses" that are built upon the three pillars of specialty, megatrends, and sustainability, and are promoting a growth strategy with an emphasis on three focus areas: ICT & Energy, Healthcare, and Sustainable Living.

Two years have passed since the formulation of Mission 2030, and the economic environment for EVs and semiconductors has changed significantly, causing our business performance to deviate from our initial plan. Therefore, we will accelerate the evolution of our business portfolio, review investment plans, and vigorously promote company-wide cost reduction projects, although the basic policy of our growth strategy remains unchanged. With the aim of returning to a growth track as soon as possible, we will revise Mission 2030 during fiscal year 2025.

In order to achieve the plan, it is important and indispensable not only to return to the growth track but also to develop new businesses and products that will lead to the next step. In terms of the value creation of human resources and management, it is essential to foster an atmosphere of flat and open communication, while the organization allows each employee can realize his/her own growth. Through dialogue with our stakeholders, we will strive to realize Mission 2030.

The Denka Group will continue to contribute to people's daily lives and society, combining its world-class strength in chemistry with its core values of “Initiative”, “Integrity” and “Empathy”. In doing so, the Group will also continue to meet the expectations and live up to the trust of its stakeholders.
We sincerely appreciate your continued understanding and support.
