In January 2021, the Toyo Ink Group introduced its long-term vision, the Scientific Innovation Chain 2027 (SIC27), in which the company, through its business activities, endeavours to realise a world where all living beings can live in harmony with the environment. Guided by this vision, the company set out management policies under its SIC-II mid-term plan calling for the creation of “lifestyles and cultures that contribute to a new era.”

To this end, the Group will continuously provide truly-needed value to solve the problems and meet the needs of a changing society, by proactively addressing ESG-related issues and by maintaining open, two-way communication with its stakeholders.
