MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

COMMITMENT

Message from the CEO

Message from

CR Committee Chairperson

Supporting International Initiatives

LIXIL is tackling social issues through our business operations in order to pursue our corporate purpose to make better homes a reality for everyone, everywhere. We are also delivering on a comprehensive Corporate Responsibility (CR) Strategy that contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations and which provides value beyond financial results to stakeholders, ensuring the long-term viability of our business. Contributing to solving complex social issues and working with diverse stakeholders presents opportunities for value creation and lays the groundwork for our sustainable growth. Furthermore, to ensure that our LIXIL employees at the heart of these activities can achieve their full potential, we are focused on building an inclusive culture where diverse employees can thrive, promoting flexible work styles, and enhancing the employee experience.

Contributing to Environmental Conservation through Our Business

As the consequences of climate change and other environmental issues intensify, at LIXIL, we believe that we can have a meaningful impact on reducing the environmental burden of society through our products and services as well as through our business activities.

To combat climate change at its source requires a fundamental shift in our working and living environment. LIXIL is committed to being a leader in this area. In

Japan, over 90% of existing homes do not meet current energy-efficiency standards. LIXIL can improve the energy efficiency of these homes with our high-insulation products, which will significantly contribute to Japan's decarbonization. As public awareness of the importance of such energy savings in housing is still low in Japan, we also engaged in advocacy activities in FYE2022.

Regarding water sustainability, we are making a critical impact by providing safe water through our water

purification technology and tackling the global sanitation challenges, through SATO and other initiatives.

In addition, LIXIL is promoting the use of recycled materials in aluminum and resin sashes and developing and commercializing sustainable materials made from waste plastic and wood. These initiatives facilitate the circular use of resources, reducing our environmental footprint and thereby contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases.
