Zeon Group upholds the corporate philosophy of “Contributing to the preservation of the Earth and the prosperity of the human race,” and works every day to realize a “Sustainable Earth” and a “Safe and Comfortable Life for People” by providing products and services backed by our original technologies.

Our corporate philosophy, which is tied to the Greek words that inspired our company name— “geo” (Earth) and “eon” (eternity)—is itself the very concept of sustainability, and making sustainability the core of our management is only natural for us.

Amid the growing complexity and severity of various social issues, including climate change, expectations for corporate initiatives to realize a sustainable society continue to rise. We at Zeon Group are determined to meet these expectations with even greater conviction and commitment.

As part of this effort, we have determined our priority issues, or materiality, as the Five Gears that drive Zeon. This clearly organizes and systematizes the pathway to realizing our corporate philosophy in a way that is easy for every employee to understand. Going forward, we will embed these Five Gears across the Group as a center core of actions that drive Zeon. We as management will take responsibility and translate them into concrete measures.

At the center of the Five Gears that drive Zeon lies the most important keyword: innovation. We believe that the innovative materials and services Zeon creates through the power of chemistry can lead to the resolution of social issues and have the potential to fundamentally change the future of the Earth and human race. The source that generates such innovation is undoubtedly people. We believe that with motivation to conceive ideas and take action, anyone can realize innovation.

Zeon Group will foster a corporate culture that encourages taking on challenges without fear of failure and establish systems through which innovation arises naturally, thereby contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.

“Based on our corporate philosophy of ‘Contributing to the preservation of the Earth and the prosperity of the human race,’ sustainability at Zeon means achieving sustainable growth together with society. To achieve this, we will provide products and services that are valuable for solving global and social issues, build trust with our stakeholders through fairness and integrity and have each one of us act proactively thinking how to create a better future for the society and ourselves.”

This is how Zeon Group defined sustainability in its Sustainability Policy established in July 2022. Our Group bases all aspects of its corporate activities on this approach to sustainability and aims to balance solving social issues with the sustainable growth of our Group.

In our Medium-Term Business Plan: STAGE30, we have placed contribution to the SDGs at the core of our strategy, and we launched the SDGs Contribution Product Certification program in FY2024. Under this program, among our products, we certify those that make particularly significant contributions to solving social issues as SDGs Contribution Products and promote their development and sales. Through this, we aim to accelerate the deployment of products, technologies, and services toward the resolution of social issues and to ensure that our stakeholders gain broad understanding of our Group’s initiatives and the added value of our products.

In addition, we are promoting a variety of sustainability initiatives, including pursuing carbon neutrality by 2050, enhancing employee engagement, conducting human rights due diligence, and advancing sustainable procurement.

Furthermore, Zeon Group will use the Five Gears that drive Zeon, determined as our materiality, as a center core. Every employee will act with an awareness of these gears and steadily turn each gear, that is, addressing each issue with sincerity. Through these efforts, we will aim to achieve our Vision for 2030 set out in STAGE30, “A company that lives up to societal expectations and the aspirations of employees,” and to realize further sustainability.

We will continue to value dialogue and collaboration with our stakeholders and to work toward the realization of a better future. We appreciate your continued support.
