Message from the President

Teijin Frontier is the only trading company in the industry in Japan that specializes in fibers while being able to research, develop, produce and sell them. We combine our capabili-ties as a trading company with our research, development and production abilities to provide high-performance prod-uct with high added value in the fields of “textiles & appar-el” and “industrial textiles and materials.”Teijin Frontier has also developed its procurement abilities in both of these fields over many years and maintains wide-ranging processing and production networks both in Japan and overseas. With these attributes, we are building a global supply chain that enables us to flexibly respond to increasingly sophisticated and diverse market needs.In terms of research, development and production, we are combining manufacturing through our own production facilities with fabless manufacturing to create and provide optimal commercial distribution that covers every stage of our process, from the development of our original textile materials to mass production and stable supply.By applying these unique strengths, we are creating a busi-ness model through which we can respond to diversifying needs and demand for mass production.

We are conducting business in accordance with our five priority measures for growth: “Concentrating management resources in growth markets,” “Strengthening material development capabilities,” “Establishing a stronger global sales force,” “Promoting the generation of new business-es” and “Implementing business reforms and strengthen-ing the governance structure.” We believe that applying our strengths and embracing changes, such as the shift from consumption focused solely on tangible goods to a mode of consumption that also em-phasizes other values and the fusion between the fiber business and digital technologies, is the key to achieving further growth moving forward.

In 2019, we added the words “healthy environment” to our corporate philosophy. We always conduct our business out of consideration for the global environment, which provides the foundation for our business, as we help advance people’s lives by creating new value. Through these efforts, we are aiming to become a company that provides support for a sustainable society.

We will develop our business by applying our unique strength, which combines our capabilities as a trading company with our R&D and production abilities

Exploring the possibilities of fibers as we continue to create new value.

CSR Activities

Promoting CSR procurement

Teijin Frontier brings stability to its operations and enhances its corporate value by promoting CSR procurement and actively engaging in corporate initiatives that encourage responsible con-duct through activities that impact social and environmental issues. We continuously apply PDCA cycles when conducting supply chain management and, when we detect issues, we work out improve-ment measures with our suppliers and provide ongoing support.In addition to additional policies and standards, we have estab-lished a set of CSR procurement standards (guidelines) for our sup-pliers that act as a foundational document governing all CSR procurement activities. These CSR procurement standards are in full compliance with the laws and regulations of each country in which we operate, as well as international guidelines, such as the UN’ s Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which requests that all corporations and nations elevate their protection of human rights and improve their labor environments.To acquire understanding concerning the actual conditions at our suppliers, we require them to fill out self-assessment question-naires that allow us to confirm their conditions in terms of labor, safety and health, environmental and quality. Based on the results of these questionnaires, we draft on-site inspection (audit) plans. We also conduct fact-finding surveys (audits) that examine the labor conditions and work safety of our suppliers.
