Strengthening the Management Foundation to Support Transformation — GDP* + Quality Management from a Mid- to Long-Term Perspective —
*GDP: Green, Digital, and People Transformation
(Presentation Outline) For a company to continuously contribute to society while enhancing its corporate value, it must constantly transform itself in response to changes in social and industrial environments. At Asahi Kasei, we are strengthening our management foundation to support transformation by focusing on three key themes from a mid- to long-term perspective: G (Green Transformation), D (Digital Transformation), and P (People Transformation). In terms of quality management, we promote an approach where everyone understands the importance of quality, fulfills their respective roles, and collaborates to build quality together. As part of this initiative, we will also introduce the "Eight Principles for Strengthening Asahi Kasei’s On-Site Capabilities," which serve as a guiding framework for this effort.
