6. Reasons for Revision

Since its foundation, the Nihon Nohyaku Group has strived to create new value and meet market needs through technological innovation with its mission of securing a safe and stable food supply and improving the quality of life for all. These basic principles, which we have held since our foundation, form the core of the Group's raison d'etre in society, and they are a philosophy that all our executives and employees reflect in the pursuit of business and social activities.

Meanwhile, the environment surrounding the Group has changed significantly, and the social issues facing the world and the Group, such as climate change, diversity, and human rights, have become increasingly complex, urgent, and difficult, involving many intertwined events. Recognizing that it is the mission of the Group to engage seriously in solutions to these social issues through our business and social activities, we have revised the Basic Principles of the Nihon Nohyaku Group to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Positioning the promotion of sustainability management as our growth strategy, the Nihon Nohyaku Group will realize the sustainability of both society as a whole and the Nihon Nohyaku Group based on these new Basic Principles.
