Efforts to realize a carbon-neutral and recycling-oriented societyManagement that values employees as stakeholders LINTEC Group’s CO2 emissions reduction targetMedium-term target (compared to FY2013)Long-term target we have begun efforts to develop human resources who are well versed in AI, to efficiently draw conclusions from the vast amount of data that has been accumulated, and to increase the speed of development. We believe that this initiative is extremely effective from the viewpoint of creating new added value.we focused on how the human resources matching such growth should be secured, allocated and assigned. However, under the current severe business environment, the key to growth lies in the creation of a business environment where human resources can maximize their potential. Technologies will be proactively introduced to areas in which operations can be automated by digitalization and robotics, with employees demonstrating their capabilities in areas where systems and robots cannot be used. In order to accelerate the strengthening of our corporate structure, we will swiftly and steadily promote DX.Recognizing that climate change has various kinds of impacts on our business activities, we consider this issue to be one of our material management challenges. Toward achievement of the goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 50% or more compared to FY2013 levels by 2030, we will introduce non-solvent type production facilities, exhaust heat recovery boilers, cogeneration facilities, solar power generation facilities, etc. mainly by the Production Division as early as possible and ahead of schedule. Since FY2022, we have been positively working to improve information disclosure in line with the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) recommendations. We are also directing great efforts into the development, production and sale of environmentally conscious products with an eye toward a recycling-oriented society. For example, in the midst of the plastic-free trend, we are implementing various initiatives such as proposing “PLALESS PAPER CoC,” our new water-resistant printing paper made by employing our specialty paper-making technologies, as an alternative plastic, which has been adopted by customers; and replacing the constituent materials of adhesive films with recycled plastic films and biomass adhesives.In particular, from the perspective of promoting the recycling and reuse of objects to which labels are affixed, we have developed and proposed various products for more than 20 years based on the following two concepts: 1) Labelstocks that are recyclable without being separated from plastic molded items; and 2) Labelstocks that can be completely peeled off from containers, etc. In the previous fiscal year, we developed polyester-based adhesives made from the same material as PET containers, and launched them together with In the past, when business continued to record steady growth, films made from the same material as “Mono-material” labelstock. This product is attracting attention as an item that contributes to promoting the recycling of PET bottles. In addition to developing and proposing various eco-friendly products, we have also started full-scale efforts to build a recycling system for labels and release paper.We participated in Japan-Earth Conscious Labelling (J-ECOL), which was established in June 2023 mainly by affiliated companies, focusing on the recycling of used release paper and dissemination and promotion thereof, support for the establishment of recycling technologies, and visualization and information transmission regarding the status of recycling. There is a limit to what a single company can do, so we believe it will be necessary for the entire industry to work together to build social infrastructure.Our most valuable assets are all of our employees. Under the key initiatives listed in the long-term vision, we are promoting specific measures by setting KPI* for each theme such as occupational safety and health, diversity and work-style reforms. We have also revised the Employment Regulations by newly introducing the retirement-at-65 system, reemployment of those aged 65 to 70 for those who wish to continue to work, and other systems.What I have always emphasized across the company is to create an open and free environment in the workplace. The corporate culture that values a family-like atmosphere has remained unchanged to date since I joined the Company. While both the number of employees and the organizations have expanded, we will continue to place high value on people-to-people connections and an atmosphere of frank communication. During the COVID-19 pandemic that lasted for three and a half years, we introduced teleworking and work-at-home systems. However, I don’t think that our communications within the organizations were sufficient. Following the reclassification of COVID-19 to Class 5 in May 2023, people began to gather at offices and talk face-to-face, and I hear some people say they are happy to be back to this type of normal daily life. I understand that direct, face-to-face communication cannot be entirely replaced no matter how far systems have advanced. It is true, however, that remote working and work at Reduce CO2 emissions by 50% or more by 2030Achieve “Carbon Neutrality” by 2050* Key performance indicator (KPI): KPI are important indicators related to organizational strategies, and quantitatively measure progress toward targets.06Message from the President
