NICHINO Group has pursued technological innovation with agrochemical research, development, manufacturing, and distribution as our core business, driven by our mission to protect safe and stable food supply and prosperous living. As we advance sustainability management—a fundamental strategy in our Medium-Term Business Plan launched in 2024—we have reassessed our group's purpose, revised portions of our basic philosophy and code of conduct, and established a value creation process. As a global innovator in food and life, we will continue to challenge ourselves to create new value through advanced technologies and contribute to realizing a sustainable society through our business activities.
