Long-term Vision, Vision 2030
Guided by SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group’s Corporate Philosophy and Group Vision, the Long-term Vision, Vision 2030, serves as a bridge for SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group’s management strategy. Under Vision 2030, SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group has identified its vision statement, which incorporates the Group’s resolute will to drive continuous innovation to support the basis of LIFE and to create peace of mind for the future in order to realize a sustainable society.
With business growth and reform and creating new business centered on ESG management at the center of its strategy, SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group aims to contribute more than ever before to resolving social issues by driving innovation through two distinct means: expanding existing businesses* through product and business reform and creating new businesses through the development and acquisition of new business bases. Drawing on this cycle, we envisage doubling our sales volume by 2030 (to sales of ¥2 trillion and an operating income ratio of 10% or higher).
- Four business domains: Residential (Housing), Advanced Lifeline (Social Infrastructure), Innovative Mobility (Electric/Mobility), and Life Science (Health and Medical).

ESG Management
Through business growth and reform and creating new business centered on ESG management, SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group aims to realize both a sustainable society and sustainable growth of the Group itself by strengthening three driving forces: the ability to contribute to resolving social issues; the ability to create profit; and the Group’s management ability to sustain business.

The Group’s management ability to sustain business
Adopted ROIC as a KPI to strengthen the Group’s management ability to sustain business.
SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group adopted ROIC as an indicator of efficiency and is targeting an improvement over the medium to long term. To this end, we will improve our profit margin by such measures as expanding marginal profit and improving productivity and increase invested capital turnover through various efforts including effective capital investment, optimal plant utilization, and inventory adjustments.
Improve the Group’s corporate value by increasing capital efficiency and lowering the cost of capital in a broad sense over the long term.
SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group defines the SEKISUI Sustainable Spread (ROIC spread) as the difference between ROIC and long-term capital cost. By expanding the SEKISUI Sustainable Spread, the Group is increasing its corporate value.
Control the cost of capital in a broad sense and improve the Group’s management ability to sustain business by controlling major incidents and investing in the management base
SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group will increase investments in such areas as governance (internal controls on safety, quality, accounting, legal /ethical matters, information management and risk management), digital transformation (DX), the environment and human capital to mitigate risks that could lead to major incidents by establishing an ESG investment limit. We will also work to control medium- to long-term capital costs and improve our management ability to sustain business.
