Long & Medium-Term Business Plan

We launched "Atelier2050" and "Vista2027" in April 2022. "Atelier2050" is a long-term business plan with a broader perspective up to FY2050, and "Vista2027" is a medium-term business plan that indicates the ideal state of the Group in FY2027 as a stepping-stone to attain the long-term plan.

"Atelier2050" aims to become a corporate group that continues to grow for the next 100 years by responding to various social demands, such as achieving carbon neutrality and solving food issues. Furthermore, we foster a corporate culture of continuous challenge by integrating internal and external knowledge as a driving force for corporate development. Based on the above, we drew up the ideal state in FY2050 as follows.

A "Future-Creating Company” that grows through seeking to enrich people and nature

A group of co-creators that faces challenges for change with a strong passion

We defined four business areas, Information & Communication, Life Sciences, and Environment & Energy as growth business, and Materials & Services as core business. By acquiring new core technologies and integrating and deepening them with existing core technologies, we will create new products and businesses and establish a path for growth. We will establish the basic stance of our group employees to realize the ideal state of our company and take on the challenge of creating the future.

In Vista2027, the first three years were designated as Stage I, and the latter three years as Stage II. In the final year of Stage I, FY2024, both sales and operating profit reached record highs. Based on the challenges and achievements of Stage I, Stage II for the latter three years, FY2025 to FY2027, kicked off in April 2025. The targets for the final year of Stage II in FY2027 are set at 293.0 billion yen in sales and 65.0 billion yen in operating profit. To realize Vista2027 Stage II overview and achieve sustainable growth beyond, we will steadily implement measures based on three basic strategies.

1. Expanding Profits in Existing Businesses
   While concentrating management resources, including M&A, in segments with growth potential, for instance semiconductors, we will actively pursue cost reductions and structural reforms in segments with low-income products.
2. Developing New Products Looking Toward 2030
   In the Information & Communication and the Environmental & Energy Domains, we will identify target materials and accelerate development. We also will focus on oligonucleotide drugs in addition to agricultural and animal health products in the Life Sciences Domain.
3. Strengthening Business Foundation
   We will allocate resources optimally to realize our corporate philosophy and ideal state and promote the development of human resources to strengthen the employee-oriented system that supports our company. At the same time, we will strengthen our business foundation that will enable us to respond in a timely manner to society's digitization and globalization, as well as to the diverse and sophisticated demands of the market. In addition, the entire group, including affiliated companies, will work to improve governance and strengthen compliance, thereby increasing corporate value.

In Stage II, in addition to the aforementioned strategy implementation, in order to contribute to a sustainable society, we set non-financial targets such as expanding the Nissan Chemical Sustainable Agenda, which clarifies products and services that contribute to society, human resource development, promoting diversity, and setting GHG emission target. By strongly promoting sustainable management, we aim to enhance the overall strength of all business activities, including operations, research, manufacturing, and the solid business foundation that supports them.

Based on our corporate philosophy of “Contribute to the protection of the global environment and the existence/development of humanity, offering the value sought by society.” we strongly promote management soundness and transparency, speeding up decision-making, strengthening risk management and internal control systems, ensuring compliance, and promoting business activities that consider society and the environment. We are committed to becoming a corporate group trusted by all stakeholders.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
