Japanese society is experiencing a falling birthrate and a growing elderly population. At the same time, employees' attitudes towards values and lifestyles are becoming more diverse. Against this background, Sekisui Chemical Group strives to create environments where employees can work with liveliness and with a sense of safety and security based on the idea that "employees are precious assets bestowed on us by society." We have created systems and opportunities that help each employee develop their own skills and grow as professionals.
We believe that encouraging each employee to be ambitious and realize their own potential at work will promote the further development of our organization and business, which in turn will allow us to better contribute to society.



Mission
Based on our belief that "employees are precious assets bestowed on us by society," we, the Sekisui Chemical Group, are committed to developing an environment where employees can work enthusiastically. We also offer various opportunities through which we help individual employees enhance their "specialties" and grow personally.
With the recognition that it is our social responsibility to protect individual human rights,
we respect the diversity, personality and individuality of each person,
and promote various working styles as well as creating safe and secure work environments in response to conditions in each country and region.
