Based on its corporate philosophy of “sharing more happiness with more people through the chemical business”, the Toagosei Group has aimed to support the community and continues to grow by providing comprehensive lines of useful and appealing chemical products. All employees of the Group are united in sharing the Group’s long-term goals and addressing the challenge of their achievement, thereby taking Toagosei to the next stage and raising its profile in the chemical industry.

The corporate philosophy is also a lynchpin of our Group corporate social responsibility activities. We will continue to evolve a more stakeholder-oriented management model, through rigorous adherence to laws and regulations and establishment and refinement of internal checking mechanisms, while ensuring product safety and prospering together with regional communities and protecting the environment.

The Toagosei Group’s vision for 2020 is “leveraging our technological capabilities, we will continually develop distinctive high-performance products in each of our business fields of commodity chemicals, acrylic products, specialty chemicals, and plastics, and create new products and businesses to support our sustainable growth as a value-creating, highly profitable corporate group”. Our three-year management plan “All TOA 2013”, starting from 2011, represents the first step toward the achievement of this vision.

Under the slogan “further growth through collaborative expertise”, All TOA 2013 will encourage the pooling of the know-how of all Group employees, based on the expertise and accumulated experience of individuals, and the building of more partnerships within the Group and with outside entities. This will enable us to speed up policy implementation based on the three growth strategies of “expanding earnings from core products”, “accelerating growth in scale of high-value-added products” and “creating new products and new businesses”. We have set targets of annual sales of ¥200 billion and operating income of ¥25 billion by 2013 on a consolidated basis. This plan will take us to the next stage.
