Message from Top Management

Guided by the "Hokuetsu Group Corporate Philosophy," our Group's fundamental management policy is to provide society at large with attractive products and services, centered on our paper and pulp business and our packaging and paper processing business. We are committed to achieving stable and sustainable growth for the Group and enhancing corporate value, grounded in the support and trust of all our stakeholders, including customers, shareholders, business partners, and local communities.

To achieve the "Socially and environmentally responsible" principle set forth in the "Hokuetsu Group Corporate Philosophy," we have established the "Hokuetsu Group Basic Sustainability Policy" with the aim of contributing to the realization of a sustainable society in harmony with nature by minimizing all environmental impacts from raw materials to finished products. In particular, with respect to the environment, we will actively and proactively promote initiatives to address climate change, including the challenge of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.

Furthermore, as the final step toward realizing the corporate group image envisioned in our Long-term Management Vision "Vision 2030," we launched the "Mid-term Management Plan 2030" in April 2026. The "Mid-term Management Plan 2030" is based on three fundamental policies: accelerating the business portfolio shift, establishing competitive advantages by strengthening competitiveness, and value creation through sustainable management. Building on our paper and pulp business, we will steadily implement and promote initiatives under the basic policies of the Mid-term Management Plan, including further advancement of environmental management, new product development, and expansion into new business areas through M&A, with the aim of continuously enhancing corporate value.
