Aiming to bring more value to the world as a company that provides solutions to social issues

Since our founding, we at OPTEX GROUP have been contributing to solving customers’ challenges under the key concept of engaging in the task of eliminating the “un” from unease, the “in” from inconvenient, and the “dis” from dissatisfying that exist in the world into safe and secure, convenient, and satisfying situations (the Futoru (eliminating negatives) Business).

This is the same as the concept of “supporting (a safe, convenient and satisfying society) from underneath,” namely, the meaning of sustain, an English word from which sustainability derives, and is in line with our stance from the perspective of being a company that provides solutions to a range of social issues.

We have been working to address a range of social challenges by positioning the execution of initiatives for environmental issues, including those for climate change, encouraging respect for diversity, and improved productivity at the manufacturing frontlines to deal with a decrease in the population attributable to an aging population and low birthrates as the three challenges to be addressed with priority.

First of all, with respect to initiatives for environmental issues including those for climate change, we will contribute to society through the provision of products that feature our strengths, or those with electric power saving and low environmental loads, based on the operation of environmentally friendly businesses.

Next, regarding respect for diversity, not using job titles when we refer to one another has been part of our culture since our founding. We consider that this corporate culture that promotes flat organizations is our asset. In addition, based on the concept that a company is a stage for self-fulfillment, we believe that facilitating investment in human resources, such as the improvement of employees’ work environments, promotion of women’s participation and provision of training for employees, is important.

In terms of responding to a decrease in the working population caused by an aging population and low birth rates, we will contribute to improving social sustainability by providing products and services that contribute to the automation and enhancement of manufacturing around the world.

We believe that profit is the quantification of added value that we create through the provision of solutions to social challenges and such profit that customers provide in recognition of our businesses makes the Group existence meaningful in the sustainable society.

Going forward, we will continue to value the basic stance that we have maintained from our founding, and will build the future with our stakeholders through the achievement of sustainable growth while simultaneously balancing social value and economic value.
