Basic Philosophy / Corporate Philosophy
The precursor of our company was established in 1919 through the merger of eight Japanese celluloid companies.
By uniting ourselves around the pillars of “enriching lives” and “maintaining a spirit of coexistence and co-prosperity with other companies,” we eliminated excessive competition in the celluloid industry and promoted the development of the celluloid processing industry, adding to the overall supply chain while contributing to greater added value. In addition, through research on the development of noncombustible celluloid, which we addressed jointly following the merger, we nurtured the foundation for the development of the chemical industry that provides a wide variety of materials. Just as our eight celluloid manufacturers joined forces to enrich society, we will contribute to the emergence of a society committed to sustainability together with our customers and partners.

These issues include shifting social circumstances as well as the rapid technological progress arising from the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT). Through these business initiatives, we will contribute to the emergence of a society committed to sustainability while pursuing the ongoing growth of the Daicel Group.
