Yuichi KounoRepresentative Director, Group President and Chief Executive Officer
SEPTENI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.

Our group is committed to addressing societal challenges through corporate activities and business growth, as we believe this is essential to fulfilling our mission “to inspire the world with entrepreneurship,” and achieving our group vision. With this understanding, we actively promote sustainability initiatives in alignment with the expectations of our stakeholders.

In the midst of rapidly changing social environments, we recognize that the needs of our stakeholders are also evolving. Since 2024, I have also served as chairperson of the Sustainability Committee, and through our sustainability activities, I have come to a renewed and profound realization: we must constantly consider matching the needs of the market with DNA we have inherited. As the demands of society and markets change constantly, companies must update their business and activities based on the philosophy and mission that they have inherited from the past.
Our group has a history of growing while changing our core businesses since our founding.
By further strengthening the group’s DNA of “adaptability to change” and “resilience in adversity,” we aim to enhance corporate value by contributing to the resolution of our stakeholders’ challenges through our corporate activities.

We have identified four key materialities as priorities for our sustainability initiatives: “Enhancement of Corporate Value by Empowering People Who Create a New Era,” “Realization of a ‘Nameraka’ Society Through Creativity and Technology,” “Response to Climate Change,” and “Building an Advanced Governance System to Support Discontinuous Growth.”

By addressing the four materialities we have identified, we aim to achieve our group's vision and realize our mission “to inspire the world with entrepreneurship.”
