Announcement of "Kyo-sei Life Vision 2030"
|
Unicharm's corporate philosophy is “NOLA & DOLA” (Necessity of Life with
Activities & Dreams of Life with Activities). Our concept of NOLA & DOLA contains
our hope that “from newborn infants to the elderly, Unicharm aims to provide people
with products that provide physical and psychological support through gentle care
so that they may be free of their burdens to fulfill their dreams.” By embodying
this corporate philosophy among all employees, we aim to contribute to the
realization of "A society where everyone can maximize their potential and lead
fulfilling lives in their own way" "A society in which people are self-reliant and
help each other with a moderate sense of distance" and "cohesive society".
To realize our corporate philosophy of "NOLA & DOLA" and "cohesive society" our
company has put forward Unicharm Group’s med-to-long term ESG objectives.
With the year 2050 set as the target date for bringing such a society into being,
we have developed some specific ideas about what that the future could look like
and where we as a company want to be at that time. To bridge the gap between where
we are today and where we want to be in the future, we have conceived carefully
focused approaches that will help us transition to the future. Subsequently, we
identified key issues (materiality), set key initiatives, indicators, and targets,
and defined them as "Kyo-sei Life Vision 2030 ～For a Diverse, Inclusive, and
Sustainable World ～".

Transitioning from “CSR Report” to “Sustainability Report”
|
Unicharm was founded in 1961. The year 2020 represents our 60th year in business, while February 2021 marks our 60th anniversary. On this important milestone, we have transitioned from “CSR Report” to “Sustainability Report”, bringing readers more in-depth stories about employees who are working hard on the various frontlines of our operations.This report covers our initiatives across the entire value chain and future plans with regard to topics in the spotlight worldwide such as “climate change,” “responsible procurement,” “sustainability,” “biodiversity,” “human rights” and “preventing environmental pollution,” in an effort to provide stakeholders with a better understanding of Unicharm today. I held frank discussions on a number of occasions with members of the ESG Division involved in the editing process and examined how best to convey the “non-financial information” required by stakeholders. While this marks our first true sustainability report, by improving even the slightest each year, I hope to gain the understanding of stakeholders regarding Unicharm's vision of “sustainability.”

Release of FY2020 Q3 Results
|
Unicharm Group released its results of FY2020 Q3 and the subsequent first 9 months(Jan~Sep) on November 6. Sales were 534.5B-yen (+1.9%) and core operating income was 89.1B-yen(+30.4%), both all-time high! In Japan, while the market slowed down due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and back-lash of last-minute buying prior to the consumer-tax increase in 2019, sales of sanitary products including mask and wet tissue, mild & moderate degree products in HC and pet care products grew primarily due to the increase of mind of people in preventing infection which led to expand our sales and profit. In overseas market outside Japan, nevertheless the effect of COVID-19 and supply shortage caused by the fire outbreak at our plant in India, sales of high added-value products in FC in China and Hartz were strong and local sales of UGHI in Saudi Arabia as well as its export business consistently grew which contributed to our favorable results. Our full year plan in FY2020 is to achieve 760B-yen in sales and 100B-yen in core operating income. Even under such severe circumstances, let us all get together as one solid team to practice OODA-Loop for achieving the goal! In association with Mr. Kazuya Kondo, IR, Corporate Planning Office, Planning Division.
