At the Toray Group, we consider sustainability to be the most important global issue of the 21st century. Today, climate change, water scarcity and resource depletion are just some of the mounting environmental challenges facing the planet. With the global population expected to increase to some ten billion people by 2050 and aging demographics on the increase worldwide, an interlinked web of global issues are posing ever-graver problems.Since our founding in 1926, we have always believed that materials can change lives, true to our fundamental corporate principle of contributing to society. We make it our mission to deliver innovative technologies and advanced materials that provide real solutions to the challenges the world faces with balancing development and sustainability.We are convinced that we can continue to grow without negatively impacting global sustainability. By delivering on our corporate philosophy of "contributing to society through the creation of new value with innovative ideas, technologies and products," we will do our utmost to address global issues, including the goals of the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while working closely with our business partners worldwide.
