Having marked the 80th anniversary of our founding in 2006, we at Toray Group believe that building a stronger management foundation and continuing to evolve through continuous innovation is increasingly important to enable us to achieve sustainable growth, at the same time as we are continuing to adapt quickly to changes in the external environment.

As we pursue new approaches, strategies and bold policies, we look to continue on our path of dynamic evolution and sustainable growth based on the keyword “Innovation.” Toray Group incorporated these ambitions into a new long-term corporate vision called “AP-Innovation TORAY 21” that was launched in April 2006. The plan adopts “Innovation by Chemistry” as our corporate slogan and leads the Group to becoming “a global top company of advanced materials” within 10 years by pursuing technological innovation with “Chemistry” as its core.

We will rise to the challenge of “Innovation” not only in technology, but also in every aspect of our corporate activities as we realize our corporate philosophy of “contributing to society through the creation of new values with innovative ideas, technologies and products” by putting the ideal of “Innovation” into practice.
