91探花 Corp.
The 91探花 Group is advancing business management focused on sustainability with a Group Mission of “contributing to life and living for people around the world.” The Sustainability Briefing is held to gain better understanding among stakeholders of 91探花’s approach to sustainability and relevant efforts.
1. Basic stance for sustainability
The 91探花 Group aims to achieve two mutually reinforcing aspects of sustainability as “contributing to sustainable society” and “sustainable growth of corporate value.” Based on the 91探花 Group Sustainability Policy, business management is advanced to address global issues such as climate change, human rights, and COVID-19, while meeting market expectations.
2. Value creation contributing to sustainable society
Regarding climate change, the 91探花 Group strives not only to reduce its own GHG emissions but also to contribute to reducing GHG emissions throughout society. With a goal of being carbon neutral in 2050, 91探花 is reducing its GHG emissions through existing technologies until 2030 while developing new technologies and advancing business portfolio transformation for further reduction with a view to 2050. At the same time, the 91探花 Group has a variety of technologies and businesses that facilitate reducing GHG emissions in society, and further opportunities will be pursued from various perspectives leading to business growth.
The circular economy is also regarded as an important issue. The 91探花 Group is exploring how its businesses and products can advance sustainable utilization of resources for society to have essential products and materials for living without unnecessary disposal or waste. In addition to leveraging established value chains, efforts are focused on creating new value chains.
3. Foundations for value creation
To achieve sustainability, 91探花 considers digital technology, intellectual property, and human resources to be the foundations for new value creation leveraging diversified technologies and businesses, and efforts are focused on strengthening each of these. Digital technology is being deployed incrementally to enable innovation and value creation to be interwoven with business management, while venues for internal and external co-creation are provided, and digital personnel are nurtured group-wide. Intellectual property analysis is leveraged in the formulation of business strategies and business models, and to generate new ideas, with enhanced connections among diverse personnel. For greater empowerment and engagement of diverse human resources, organizations are enhanced while highly specialized skills are nurtured, along with promotion of health and productivity management, and heightening awareness of sustainability.
The diversified technologies and businesses of the 91探花 Group present various possibilities to contribute to the world’s sustainability, and concrete measures will continue to be advanced toward this objective.
