Message from President

The COP28 (Conference of Parties) was held at the end of 2023 against the backdrop of climate change and global warming over the past years, and the Member States agreed on a “transition away from fossil fuels,” and this trend toward decarbonization will accelerate from this time forward. Needs for further energy saving and energy creation as well as carbon neutrality have been growing significantly in our business fields including not only the water/wastewater and waste treatment businesses, but also the supply of cooling towers for local comminities' heating and cooling, and the pharmaceutical and fine chemical equipment business for fine chemicals and semiconductor manufacturing. We consider the trend of the times as our huge business opportunities.

Under these circumstances, we, Kobelco Eco-Solutions Group, set our goal for future business to become a company leading the way in carbon neutrality in the three-year FY2024–2026 medium-term business plan and will make every endeavor to achieve the goal. To this end, we will enhance the competitiveness of our existing businesses and acquire carbon neutral technologies to establish a solid business ground in the coming three years.

As for the existing businesses, we will further strengthen competitiveness by such activities as: establishing and systematizing the core technologies including decarbonization, honing our craftspersonship for manufacturing capability ("monozukuri"), and labor-force saving through digital transformation. To achieve a hydrogen energy-based society, we will broaden the product lineup of high-purity hydrogen oxygen generators (HHOG^TM). We will also definitely develop and launch further sophisticated products contributing to carbon neutrality and provide new products and services that meet customer and social needs by developing and acquiring new technology.

Our corporate vision is “To Support a future society that lives in harmony with the earth.” In order to achieve this vision, we will contribute to achieving the SDGs through our businesses and to creating a healthy environment and lifestyles through our innovative thinking.

April, 2024
President, Representative Director, Mikio Sato
