Long-Term Vision
Go forward
We aim to be a company that contribute to solving problems faced by our customers and society through all functions from products to services related to chemical and functional products
As the pace of industrial change accelerates around the world, companies will face difficulties to survive in dramatically changing or growing markets if they continue to rely on outdated concepts and approaches to business. Based on this concept, Soda Nikka has formulated a long-term vision with a focus on future economic and industrial trends. The key word in this long-term vision is “aggressive.” While promoting our own transformation, we will utilize the strengths we have acquired in the process. As “a coordinator of better society with chemical industry”, we aim to improving our business values and social values through addressing social issues together with our business partners and local communities. In addition, as we work to realize this vision, we will create working environments that help all our employees fulfill their dreams and be worthy of the trust placed in us by our stakeholders.
