Our Philosophy
The planet’s air, water, land, and other elements interact with each other to form a healthy foundation for the survival of living things and a rich biodiversity. SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group aims to create a planet and society in which humankind and economic activities can develop sustainably by utilizing the planet’s valuable natural and social capital created through its activities.
We are engaging in business activities on a daily basis with the aim of preventing further deterioration of natural capital through such means as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting the use of recycled resources, and decreasing any impact on ecosystems. We are also working to provide returns to natural and social capital by expanding sales of Products to Enhance Sustainability while endeavoring to realize an earth with maintained biodiversity.
