HOYA’s ESG

Based on our management philosophy, “We will promote business creation and innovation in the areas of information technology and lifestyle and culture, and contribute to the creation of a truly prosperous society in harmony with people, society, and nature,” we consider the resolution of environmental issues and social challenges as an integral part of our business, without separating them from the expansion of our business earnings.

To date, we have focused most of our efforts on governance (G) and have established the most advanced corporate governance structure in Japan. Going forward, we will increase our focus on environmental (E) and social (S) agendas as well.

In the midst of dramatic changes in the global society, we believe that responding flexibly and swiftly to the changes of the times, taking on the challenge of creating the value that society needs, and meeting those expectations are HOYA’s strengths and the vision that we aspire to. The entire HOYA Group will continue to do its utmost to be the preferred choice of our customers and partners.
