SocietyPromoting Digital Transformation (DX)
At Fujikura Kasei, we are working to promote digital transformation (DX) toward achieving our 2030 Vision to “provide new value through co-creation × evolution × power of chemistry.”
In the 11th mid-term management plan, DX promotion forms one of the pillars in strengthening our management foundation to support relentless change and sustainable growth.

Development of DX promotion personnel
Our group has a large accumulation of valuable data, including customer and formulation data. To explore how we can process and utilize these data and what kind of added value we could attach to the information, we held the “What to do about DX!” seminar in February 2024, featuring Mr. Naoyuki Kamatani, Chairman of StaGen Co., Ltd. and Director of the Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. It was held both in person and as an in-house webinar.
A post-seminar survey revealed that many employees are interested in future DX seminars. In fiscal 2024, we will launch e-learning courses and practical sessions aimed at promoting DX and developing DX personnel. This initiative, along with the advancement of data utilization, will contribute to creating new value.
DX promotion roadmap
We formulated a DX promotion roadmap within the 11th mid-term management plan to guide us on our path to achieving sustainable growth and ultimately our 2030 Vision. In fiscal 2024, we will focus on enhancing the digital skills of our employees and promoting digitization across the company. This initiative will form the foundation of our development for fiscal 2025 and beyond. We will aim to strengthen our business foundation by utilizing digital technologies to increase operational efficiency and introducing a data-based decision-making process.
