Message from the President
Looking at the semiconductor industry and peripheral domains, the business environment influencing our Company is undergoing significant change on a daily basis. In a constantly shifting geopolitical environment, markets in which we are engaged are projected to see medium- to long-term growth on renewed demand for semiconductors. This demand is attributable to advancements in information communications technology being driven by AI and initiatives related to autonomous vehicles and decarbonation.
Amid such an environment, our Group is steadily implementing the policies outlined in 2030 Vision – Phase 1, our Medium-term Management Plan (2022-2024). As an R&D-oriented company, we will apply our principle of creation and transform towards achieving our goal of becoming a true global company that achieves continuous growth by delivering visionary technology. As the final fiscal year of this Medium-term Management Plan, we position this year as the time for us to lay a more detailed foundation for growth as we prepare for our next stage: 2030 Vision – Phase 2. During this period, we will organize and analyze issues remaining from Phase 1 to identify the areas for which we must shore up our efforts.
Society is undergoing a paradigm shift driven by advancing digitalization and initiatives aimed at achieving the SDGs and resolving environmental issues, among other factors. In response to this environment, in February we formulated a Sustainability Policy. Through this Policy, we will develop and adopt a management platform that incorporates an awareness of social responsibilities from an ESG perspective. We will apply this platform to make contributions to the realization of a sustainable society by engaging in fair and honest business practices, working to resolve social issues and achieving continuous growth while creating social value. We also recognize that employees are human capital who represent most important factor in supporting our Group’s sustainable growth. Based on this awareness, we formulated our Policy on Human Capital and Workplace Environment Development as part of our initiatives aimed at creating human value. We will act as a citizen of this Earth and collaborate with our various stakeholders as we work towards increasing our corporate value. We will engage in global business activities that lead to the accumulation of results that promote industry development and contribute to the future.
This year marks the 55th anniversary of our founding. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to many people involved in our operations. I will remain committed to addressing issues, and ask for your continued support and guidance.
Kazuo Maeda
CEO & President
