HOYA Value Creation
HOYA's Value Creation Model
Since our founding more than 80 years ago, we have been expanding our business to include a wide variety of products with optical technologies at their core. When selecting a business, we have been placing emphasis on resolving social issues through our products and services, while also making it a prerequisite to choose a market in which there is not too much competition and where we can leverage our core competencies in optical know-how. Based on those core competencies, we aim to create integrated value for business growth and sustainability by focusing on three social issues: (1) vision-related issues, such as the growing number of people with myopia; (2) medical-related issues, against the backdrop of factors that include the aging society; and (3) the challenges involved in the technological response to the information society that is continuing its remarkable development.
Sustainability is built on a stable business and financial foundation. Including the rise of geopolitical risks, in recent years the macro environment has been changing rapidly, and companies are being required to demonstrate their competitiveness by transforming their business structure more quickly and more flexibly. Rather than simply sticking to our decisions, we have been enhancing our corporate value by flexibly changing our business strategies and cost execution on a quarterly basis in keeping with changes in the external environment. Diverse external factors are expected to affect business activities in the years to come, and we will work to create stable outcomes through flexible business strategies and the transformation of our business portfolio.
By reinvesting the outcomes generated through business activities into, for example, R&D activities and investing in the acquisition of new businesses, we will strive to develop previously unreachable customers and unmet needs, so that as many people as possible can look forward to better futures.
