The remarkable industrial growth in Japan over the past decades has been the major driver behind the success of our modern society. Yet it has led us to a world of fierce global competition as companies incessantly search for new technologies and materials.

These modernizations, however, have both immediate and long-term consequences for our animals, plants and the environment.

We believe that working in harmony with nature will become the true foundation for our future business.

By integrating our expertise in chemical synthesis and naturally occurring substances, we have re-imagined the concepts of natural chemistry and life chemistry to pursue our purposes in the three pillars of our business – Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Foods.

Through utilizing our traditional values in food culture and developing new materials and technological innovations, our goal is to contribute to the creation of a better environment, in which we can live healthy and secure lives.

We’re also dedicated to leveraging this approach in the global market to contribute to society while growing as a company that continues to earn stakeholders’ trust.
