In TDK’s new medium-term plan “Value Creation 2023”, the pursuit of “social value” is the goal of all business activities, which aims to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by solving social problems. We will achieve a cycle that will further enhance the “social value” while increasing the “commercial value” and “asset value”. In addition, TDK was rated as A- for climate change as it was last year.

In addition, in order to achieve 2CX (customer experience and consumer experience), we will provide solutions that satisfy customers and consumers and an experience that exceeds expectations. Our goal is to solve digital transformation (DX) and energy transformation (EX). The two major social issues have become a truly valuable company.

Based on this principle, the TDK Group will quickly and effectively carry out environmental protection activities taking into account climate change, biodiversity and resource limitations. The company will promote the development of a sustainable society through innovative core technologies and solutions to ensure that future generations around the world have access to clean and safe water supply.
