Message from the President

I am Noriaki Sakai, Representative Director and President of Idemitsu. The Idemitsu Group is working on energy transition to contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral and recycling-oriented society while fulfilling its responsibility to provide a stable supply of energy and materials.Today, the environment surrounding the energy industry is undergoing significant changes. The growing geopolitical risks have reaffirmed the importance of energy security in the world, and there is a need for a realistic energy transition through diverse approaches tailored to the characteristics of each country and region. The mission of the Group is to maintain the existing energy infrastructure sites and networks that support our daily lives, while boldly promoting reforms according to changes in times and regions.
A new medium-term business plan will begin in fiscal 2026. Through safe and stable operations at each Complex and Refinery, we will endeavor to provide a stable supply of energy and materials required close at hand, and at the same time, create growing businesses that leverage our technological capabilities and domestic and overseas networks. In addition, for the energy transition, we will take on the challenge of low-carbon and decarbonization businesses that meet the needs of society while facing economic and technological challenges with an eye toward the mid- to long-term trend of decarbonization. In this way, we will take steady steps to realize our vision for 2030, “Your Reliable Partner for a Brighter Future.”
Since its foundation, the Group has upheld the principle of “people-centered management,” where the management has been based on developing people through our businesses. Even in this time of transformation, we will leverage the strengths of each employee and prioritize building an organization where they can each show their maximum performance.
In order for the Group to continue fulfilling its social responsibilities and creating new value, collaboration with many partners is crucial. Together with all our global customers and dealers, logistics and safety subcontracting companies, business partners (including oil-producing countries and overseas suppliers), and each of our employees with diverse backgrounds, and believing in the infinite potential of people, we will continue to consistently provide a stable supply of energy and materials and open up new businesses.　We look forward to your continued support.
