Mission

Design and drive a “Loop” where every resource on Earth continues to circulate.

Division Strategies

We have built up a “supply chain and reverse supply chain” made up of “supply chain” businesses, which develop rare and important resources and procure materials and components, and “reverse supply chain” businesses, which encompass operations from collecting through to recycling of used products. With environmental responsiveness as an essential aspect of our business, we operate the smoothly flowing loop of our “supply chain and reverse supply chain” on a global basis to maximize the value of resources.

As we create a virtuous cycle that solves social issues and enhances corporate value, we will evolve into the world’s leading circular economy provider, passing on a better Earth and delivering new prosperity to the children of the future.

Business Overview
Resources Development SBU	Development of metal resources such as the rare metals and non-ferrous metals essential for the electrification of automobiles; development of inorganic resources such as iodine; stable supply of these resources through importing and exporting, offshore trade, and domestic sales; and planning and operation of related businesses
E-Mobility Supply Chain SBU	Export/import, offshore trade, and domestic sales of non-ferrous products, battery materials, and other products for use in vehicles; planning and operation of businesses involved in electrification and the creation of resilient supply chains
Resources Recycling SBU	Export/import, offshore trade, and domestic sales of recycled metal resources; planning and operation of aluminum melting, ingot forming, and non-ferrous scrap-related businesses; and provision of integrated “supply chain and reverse supply chain” functions, from resource collection to the production of recycled raw materials
Sustainable Materials SBU	Export/import, offshore trade, and domestic sales of plastics and chemicals, bio materials, recycled materials, sanitary materials, and other products; development of plastic and solvent recycling businesses

Market Environment
With the heightened risk of geopolitical impacts and supply chain interruptions, securing stable supplies of critical resources and decarbonizing customer industries have become pressing issues. This rising uncertainty is creating a rapidly growing need for resilient closed loops, in which resource “supply chain and reverse supply chain” are centrally managed.
