Value Creation Process

Creating products, value,
and a new future with the power of chemistry

We propose new technologies and new products by combining the core technologies we have acquired in our diverse business areas. To solve various social issues, we aim to grow sustainably centered on our three prioritized business fields.

Our business model uses sustainable investments to provide inputs that solve social issues, and our output products provide outcomes that create economic and social value. By continuing this cycle, we aim to achieve our vision.

The NOF Group's inputs are financial capital (long-term credit rating of A+), human capital (3,997 employees), manufacturing capital (¥18.3 billion in capital investment, 20 manufacturing bases), intellectual capital (¥7.9 billion in research and development investment), 1,237 patents held by the parent company, four patent attorneys, social capital (1,100 suppliers to the parent company, research contracts with universities and research institutes), and natural capital (226,000 tons of material input, 2,903,000 gigajoules of total energy input, and 7,886,000 cubic meters of new water usage).The NOF Group's outputs are economic value (¥45.3 billion in operating profit), dividends per share (¥45 per share) by the parent company, social value (82 countries in which sales are made, 89 industry-academia-government collaborative research projects), a 16.0% female employee ratio, a 2.65% employment rate for people with disabilities, and a 1.2% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
