Sustainability Management

We have identified material issues regarding management by analyzing the things that Musashi is capable of doing now and the fields it should focus its efforts on based on Musashi Philosophy. We consider the characteristics of our businesses, including the value chain, to select priority themes based on the needs and expectations of society, to deepen the understanding we share with our stakeholders and more efficiently propel our sustainability initiatives.

Musashi operates its business based on the Musashi Philosophy, which is derived from the founding ”Our Origin”(Consistent Sincerity・Simple and Sturdy). From April 2021, we have newly set forth our new Long-Term Vision 「Go Far Beyond!～Break barriers and go on adventures!～」, which will take us to 2038, the 100th anniversary of our founding, and we aim to enhance the competitiveness of our existing core businesses and contribute to the realization of a sustainable and prosperous global society by creating new businesses that can contribute to solving social issues. We aim to contribute to the realization of a sustainable and enriched earth by enhancing the competitiveness of our existing core businesses and creating new businesses that can contribute to solving these issues.

The Sustainability Strategy Committee, which is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), has been incorporated into the corporate governance system (since December 2021) to address social issues regarding sustainability in an appropriate manner. This committee has discussions for the realization of sustainability considering stakeholders’ expectations and requests identified through dialogues with them and other opportunities, as well as discussions of other social issues, in light of the Company’s Vision and Purpose. The committee enables the management of the Company to reflect social issues, thus improving the effectiveness of management, with the goal of steadily addressing these issues.

We have implemented an array of initiatives to address environmental problems, including energy conservation activities. We will begin acting with renewed determination as a member of a global society to achieve carbon neutrality, a goal supported by a global consensus. We promise to make our own activities green globally by 2038, aiming to achieve the carbon neutrality of the entire value chain by 2050.
