Message from the President

We believe that a healthy society and economy, as well as comfortable and well-being lives, are possible on a sustainable earth. In recent years in particular, the environment, society and economy have undergone dramatic changes and the variable factors that affect business management are becoming increasingly diverse and complex.
Within this context, the Sustainability Committee, which I chair, identifies issues related to our business activities and evaluates them not only as risks but also as opportunities for future growth. By examining issues from both the risk and opportunity perspectives, we ensure that the results are appropriately reflected in our medium- to long-term management strategies.
We aim to realize a "better future" by responding flexibly and agilely to change. In addition, we aspire to anticipate change and drive transformation ourselves. As part of this aspiration, we have identified materiality—key issues that we will prioritize—to realize the "four societies" that we envision as our “better future.” Based on these material topics, we clarify the value we will prioritize and create from a global and long-term perspective, and promote initiatives in line with our medium-term management plan, including our "business strategy," "financial strategy," and "non-financial strategy". In addition, we continue to reinforce our corporate governance to sustainably enhance corporate value and remain a company trusted by all stakeholders.
Going forward, we will further strengthen our business foundation, continuously create new value, and pursue sustainable growth by thoroughly implementing proactive risk management.

Strengthening our human capital—the driving force behind the DNP Group’s sustainable growth and the key to its transformation—is one of our most important initiatives to continue providing value. Each and every employee is a key foundation and source of strength in creating a “better future.” Under the belief embodied in our Human Capital Policy—that “we value our employees, and through employees who are valued, the company grows, and together they enrich society”—we are advancing initiatives to enhance human capital.
To create value and achieve growth, each employee must accurately grasp changes in the environment, society, and economy, think independently, and proactively take on challenges. To support this, we continue to enhance our training programs, provide support for self-development, while expanding our In-House Recruiting System with a strong emphasis on the proactive and autonomous intentions of employees. We also actively implement initiatives to promote employees’ autonomous career development and challenges addressing both systems and workplace culture—such as award programs recognizing employees who take on challenges without fear of failure, tools that visualize organizational strengths and issues, and initiatives to create a workplace with high psychological safety.
These efforts are grounded in the DNP Group’s approach to diversity and inclusion (D&I). By respecting differences among individuals, accepting one another, and leveraging diversity as a strength, we maximize organizational capabilities and create value that addresses social issues and meets people’s expectations. In addition, as the importance of respecting human rights grows, we are strengthening our systems for human rights promotion, including formulating our Human Rights Policy and promoting human rights due diligence.

Intellectual capital, including technology, know-how, and human resources, is the foundation for us to continue providing new value to society, and the accumulation and utilization of knowledge is essential to creating highly competitive products and services. In order to create globally competitive products and services that lead to sustainable growth, the DNP Group is further refining its unique strengths in "P&I" (Printing & Information), cultivated over many years. Furthermore, by deepening collaboration with partners such as diverse companies, organizations, universities, and research institutions, we will further enhance the value of our intellectual capital.
We are promoting strategic research and development and investing continuously and proactively to realize the "better future" we envision. Anticipating global needs such as reducing environmental impact and enhancing well-being, we are strengthening our marketing and research and development systems for each country and region. We are also promoting digital transformation in both business growth and productivity innovation, striving to introduce necessary technologies and enhance our human resources.
Going forward, we will continue to create synergies through "All DNP," bringing all divisions together, and take on the challenge of balancing the resolution of social issues with sustainable growth.
