-Toward the Realization of a Recycling-Based Society and a Harmonious Relationship with Nature-

Since its foundation, the Nihon Parkerizing Group has upheld the corporate philosophy of "contributing to the preservation of the global environment and the creation of a prosperous society by promoting the effective use of the Earth's limited resources and creating new value through the surface modification of materials." This philosophy forms the foundation of all our business activities and remains our starting point.

Our surface modification technology extends product life by preventing metal wear and deterioration while also enhancing durability. This also reduces resource consumption and waste. Additionally, it enhances sliding properties, fatigue strength, and wear resistance while reducing friction. These improvements contribute to increased fuel efficiency in automobiles and other applications. Furthermore, to help build a sustainable society, the treatment baths used in surface treatment processes are designed for continuous use by adding appropriate replenishers to maintain performance. This replenishing method significantly reduces waste from treatment baths, promoting the efficient use of resources and reducing environmental impact. Additionally, we contribute to the establishment of a sustainable production system by recycling by-products generated during the treatment process.

In addition, we prioritize coexisting with nature and are dedicated to preserving biodiversity and blending in with the local environment. In the future, we will focus not only on reducing our environmental impact but also on incorporating a nature-positive perspective to promote business activities that contribute to the recovery and regeneration of natural capital. To this end, we are actively engaged in mangrove reforestation in coastal areas and afforestation activities in forest regions to restore ecosystems and create sources of CO₂ absorption.

In recent years, there has been a growing global interest in sustainability, and companies are being asked to address social issues more than ever before. We view these changes positively and believe that resolving social issues to enhance corporate value is key to achieving sustainable competitiveness. To this end, we must continue to evolve our core surface modification technology. We are actively incorporating new insights and developing a technological framework that anticipates societal changes, thereby breaking free from existing frameworks.

In April 2025, we opened the "New Central Research Laboratories (Parker Innovation Center)," which symbolizes our commitment to the challenge. With this institute as our central hub, we will accelerate the development of surface modification technologies that contribute to a decarbonized society, guided by the slogan "Challenges for Change." In addition to technologies that advance the electrification of vehicles, we will also focus on developing new applications for hydrogen energy and a hydrogen-based society and allocate more resources to environmental research and development.

The driving force behind these initiatives is our people. Every employee is dedicated to change, seeking to address social issues and generate social value. The fulfillment and smiles that arise from this process become the company's achievements, ultimately benefiting society as a whole. My mission is to strongly support this virtuous cycle and share its benefits with our stakeholders and the broader society.

The Nihon Parkerizing Group is collaborating to bring our vision for the future to life.

We look forward to your continued support.
