Uni-Charm Corporation.

Representative Director, President and Executive Officer, Takahara Hirohisa.

I humbly wish you a Happy New Year.

I sincerely thank you for your exceptional support and friendship during the past year.

At the beginning of 2025, I would like to extend my greetings.

Contributing to the realization of a "coexistence society."

In 2024, the global situation changed rapidly, and it became a year of continued uncertainty for corporate activities. The rise in geopolitical risks and the acceleration of global inflation cast a significant shadow on economic activities. Furthermore, natural disasters caused by abnormal weather occurring in various parts of the world brought tremendous damage to people's lives and disrupted supply chains.

In light of such rapidly changing circumstances, our company has adopted "Love Your Possibilities" (anything is possible. Anytime, forever.) as our corporate brand essence and continues to work towards contributing to the realization of a "coexistence society" - a society where everyone can lead their own life through independence and mutual assistance.

To provide value that contributes to the realization of such a "coexistence society," we have been striving to look at things carefully, heightening our sensitivity to the small voices we had previously overlooked, and creating unique value.

Here are a few specific examples. First, in Japan, we accelerated the deployment of the "RefF (Recycle for the Future) project" which promotes the horizontal recycling of used paper diapers. We launched products such as 'Mamypoko Pants RefF,' 'Lifree RefF,' and 'Deo Toilet Deodorizing and Antibacterial Sheet RefF,' and expanded our handling channels as well as collaborations with local governments. Additionally, we started the service for the menstrual management app 'Sofy Be,' which aims to improve women's health and quality of life.

As a new challenge, we have officially started selling the Sofy brand in Africa. Alongside this, we continue to provide all women with a clean and comfortable life through activities that promote menstrual education and women's social advancement.

– "Unique" "Universal" "United" –

Our company aims to be the "number one in the world" by 2030, striving to achieve "number one" in both "relative value" and "absolute value." In this rapidly changing environment, we believe that to achieve this goal, it is necessary to explore the essence in everything and further accelerate our growth speed. Taking these points into account, we have chosen the letter 【U】, representing the initials of "Unique," "Universal," and "United," to express our determination for this year and 2025. The name "Uni-Charm" originally contained the meanings of "Universal," "Unique," and "United," embodying our desire to be an integrated company providing unique products and services that are globally applicable, but we will significantly raise the level of that meaning and evolve.

(1) Exploration of "Unique".

We aim for distinctiveness that is not compared to anything else in all our value creation activities.

We will explore uniqueness in every aspect, including not only our products, but also our organization, personnel, and systems.

(2) "Universal" penetration.

We aim to create a state where everyone in the world can use our products and services, regardless of their economic situation, culture, or lifestyle, "anytime, anywhere."

(3) "United" integration.

All employees will firmly unite towards common goals and work together as one.

Everyone believes in their own potential, demonstrates their characteristics and strengths, complements each other's lacking abilities, and promotes "management of resonance" where everyone considers the whole.

We kindly ask for your continued guidance and encouragement this year, just as in the past.
