Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2023 to FY2025)

Our Purpose

Based on our Corporate Philosophy, Management Principle, and the Shimadzu Group Sustainability Charter, we aim to enhance our corporate value by pursuing planetary health through business development in 3 directions (Contribution to Human Life & Well-being, Contribution to the Well-being of the Earth, and Contributing to Industrial Development and Realizing a Safe & Secure Society) and 4 areas of social value creation: Healthcare, Green, Material, and Industry.

Transformation

We have developed products using new technologies and delivered them to our customers as value. However, in order to share value with our customers, we need to transform ourselves into a company that can provide the “DATA” that customers need with Total Solutions that include not only products but also preprocessing, consumables such as columns, and data analysis software. We have positioned this New Medium-Term Management Plan as a preparation period. We aim to increase our corporate value by transforming ourselves into a company that provides total solutions across Divisions.

Expand business and transform into a company that provides Total Solutions across Divisions.
