C.I. TAKIRON Group Integrated Report 2020

The Better Life Management Declaration and

the Post-Corona Age

Using its 100th anniversary as a milestone, the C.I. TAKIRON Group announced the Better Life Management Declaration to provide a quality workplace to offer a better life to our employees and their families toward the next century of business in 2019. Then, in early 2020 while working on that important management policy for the company, COVID-19 became a pandemic worldwide and as a result we face a series of challenges: working from home, teleworking, suspending all dining functions with people inside and outside the company. This has resulted in the creation of a business environment that changes the way people work regardless of their intentions.

I was surprised that so many work styles designed to avoid spreading the virus match up with the work style reforms in our Better Life Management Declaration!

We have been blessed with the opportunity to try out different approaches to this extent to make the lives of employees and their family members more fullling. Benets include time spent with family created due to working from home, the reduction of the physical burden on employees by not having to commute to work, and the effective use of time that used to be spent for commuting. In terms of management costs, we experienced changes to our work style and new expense structure that we had never imagined, including the reduction of business trips through web conferencing and reduction of ofce space by allowing employees to work from home.

Since economic conditions in this society have reached a level of challenges that none of our generations have experienced, it is very difcult for C.I. TAKIRON management in scal 2020 started without any conviction regarding what business conditions will be like to inuence the companyʼs future prospects. In 2019, three years after C.I. TAKIRON was born, the company declared, in the Better Life Management Declaration, that it would create a new corporate culture, moving away from the corporate culture of the Showa and Heisei Periods. However, we cannot say for sure how corporate life will change during the new Reiwa Period. This was when all people experienced various work styles to prevent the spread of infection. I think this has allowed us to nd some useful hints for making our lives more fullling in the future. The enrichment of employeesʼ lives and growth of the company must be able to occur together. Our new corporate culture that emerges from it must meet the new demands of our business partners as well as the demands of society.

The C.I. TAKIRON Group aims to solve social issues through business activities centered on Materiality (priority issues), including the Better Life Management Declaration. We want to have a corporate culture that fullls its responsibilities, as it has done over the last 100 years of its history, and I believe this company has a role to play in the rapidly changing environment.

Continuing from scal 2020, all C.I. TAKIRON Group employees will do their utmost to ensure customer satisfaction in all areas, including new product development, high-quality products, services, and delivery. I look forward to the continued support and guidance of our stakeholders in scal 2020 in a new global business environment and a work style environment never experienced before.
