Message from the director in charge
The global environment is the foundation supporting our company and society
Each of us will think and act responsibly to protect the future
Every aspect of our lives, from clothing to food and shelter, is supported by the global environment. The things around us are made from natural resources like wood and plastic, and it goes without saying that our food is a gift from nature. Our company’s manufacturing operations are also sustained by natural resources—from the materials used in our products to the energy and water used in production—and this has also been placing a significant burden on the global environment.
With environmental impacts becoming more apparent—global average temperatures set consecutive record highs in 2023 and 2024—it is now imperative that we, as companies that are burdening the planet, solve this problem to protect the planet and build a sustainable society. To fulfill this responsibility, our Mid-Term Management Plan TRV 2030, announced in May 2025, positions carbon neutrality as one of the pillars supporting our business structure. In addition, we will spearhead comprehensive circular economy and nature positive initiatives throughout the entire lifecycle. We will also pursue new initiatives proactively. We believe that the biomass composite material BAMBOO+® and the invasive ant pesticide Puritto Bait—products born from our pursuit of environmental technology—will not only address environmental issues but also significantly drive our future growth as new business areas. Guided by our environmental slogan “TRy for the future (which we can change with our thoughts and actions),” each employee will consider the future of the planet, take action, and embrace challenges to accelerate the realization of a sustainable society.

Basic Ideas and Strategies
The Tokai Rika Group has adopted the environmental slogan “TRy for the future (which we can change with our thoughts and actions)” and has defined the direction of its environmental activities for the conservation of the global environment and the realization of a sustainable society in its Environmental Policy. Each of our employees will maintain a constant awareness of these five policies, and will think and act on them for the sake of the future of the earth.

Long-term environmental goals
We have set a target to reduce CO2 emissions to virtually zero by 2050, and have formulated the “Carbon-neutral Strategy 2030” as a milestone. We are promoting activities throughout the entire lifecycle centered on four strategies: products, production, procurement, and logistics.
7th Environmental Action Plan (2021 to 2025)
To contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, we are promoting initiatives based on the three pillars of Carbon Neutrality, Circular Economy, and Nature Positive.
The goals for each year are set by working backward from the goals for 2025, the final year of the 7th Plan. We are proceeding with our activities in a planned manner to achieve our ultimate goal.
