Our company purpose is “Enriching the World with Our Colors and Technology,” indicating the essential roles and potentials of our coatings. When a community’s economy develops, its people start wearing colorful clothes. The towns and cities, and even the dishes served at restaurants, become bright with color. Color is related to abundancy and richness and has the power to make people happy. Coatings also enhance the functions of products. For example, a coating may extend a product’s lifespan by preventing degradation and making it more resistant to scratches. It can also add a new attribute to a product. Coatings contribute to the development of society.

As a coating manufacturer, we believe it is our group’s mission to support the development and manufacture of products with both color and technology.

In our new FY26 medium-term management plan, we commit ourselves to the new vision of “Becoming a coating partner for our customers.” To become a coating partner for our customers, we shall become a global manufacturer and supplier of coating materials that understands environmental and human rights issues. We will help our customers resolve sustainability challenges by offering coating technologies that make their products environmentally-friendly and respectful of human rights, growing together as we contribute to society. The Musashi Paint Group will devote the next 3 years to make this vision come true.

While coatings benefit society, they also generate greenhouse gases and hazardous substances throughout their lifecycle. We have been reviewing our products and manufacturing processes to minimize emissions and waste. However, reducing environmental impact while maintaining product performance requires all employees to work toward the same goals and continuously pursue improvements in their daily operations.

We issued the “musashi color,” a booklet about our company’s management philosophy and employee code of conduct. We also issued the “Musashi Sustainability Guide” to disseminate our group’s behavioral guidelines as summarized by 10 CSR activities. Through this sustainability report, we seek to articulate these efforts and communicate them clearly to both internal and external stakeholders. By doing so, we aim to raise awareness across the Group, advance sustainability management, and contribute to sustainable growth.
