Sustainability

Up until now, I have cherished five core values: "responsibility," "trust," "transparency," "family," and "health." I intend to make these values the pillars of our future management and walk toward a sustainable future together with all our stakeholders.
In an era of great change, rather than forcing change, I prioritize allowing the organization to evolve naturally and gradually through its own strength. I want to continue the company's steady growth by flexibly addressing various challenges as they arise and embracing change.
Alongside building this kind of organisation, we are also making progress on addressing key themes for our company. Regarding matters such as climate change, respect for human rights and the supply chain, we are continuously deepening our discussions under the Sustainability Committee and making steady progress. As the foundation underpinning these efforts, I place ‘transparency’ at the heart of our management. Transparency is the foundation of governance, and I believe that fulfilling our duty of sincere information disclosure and careful accountability leads to trust from society.
Addressing climate change is one of our key priorities. Reducing Scope 3 emissions associated with aluminium ingots is no easy task, but we recognise this as an unavoidable challenge. We will proceed in stages, aligning our efforts with the Japanese government’s carbon neutrality policy.We will proceed steadily, taking practical steps that we can implement now, such as engaging in dialogue with suppliers and expanding the use of recycled materials. Furthermore, we have seen that initiatives to reduce waste at our manufacturing plants are also leading to improvements in yield and productivity.
"Safety and quality are the lifeblood of the company." We position major risks such as fatal accidents, lost-time injuries, fires, and explosions as things that "must be zero" and will work thoroughly to achieve this. Regarding quality, we also prioritize creating standards that are mutually acceptable with our customers, and by promoting consensus-building without strain or ambiguity, we will uphold sincere manufacturing.
Toward our 100th anniversary in 2031, we will advance the improvement of corporate value based on sustainability, alongside business growth. We aim to be a company respected by all our stakeholders and will build a corporate foundation capable of sustainable growth.
Toyo Aluminium aspires to be a ‘family-like’ company where everyone feels comfortable exchanging opinions. We will continue to nurture a cycle in which the growth of each individual employee contributes to the growth of the company, and the results of this growth extend as a contribution to all our stakeholders..
