LIXIL’s Purpose is to make better homes a reality for everyone, everywhere: this is the positive impact we have and how we can be a force for good in a rapidly changing world, from the products we make, to the way we work for today and tomorrow.

We strive to make better homes that meet the different needs of diverse people and the way we live. That means enabling all people around the world to have access to safe and hygienic toilets and handwashing facilities. It means minimizing our ecological footprint throughout our value chain as well as from our business operations and contributing to environmental conservation for future generations through innovative products and services. And, it means helping everyone live more healthily, comfortably, and sustainably through innovation enabled by an inclusive organization. All these elements are vital for realizing what we consider to be truly better homes for all.

We will expand our positive impact by connecting with the wider society that extends beyond our field of business. We will help build a society in which people can lead healthy lives and help conserve the global environment for future generations. We will also strive to build an inclusive organization that is able to create new opportunities by responding to diverse needs.

LIXIL’s Impact Strategy outlines three core pillars: Global Sanitation & Hygiene, Water Conservation & Environmental Sustainability, and Diversity & Inclusion. These areas represent the most pressing global issues where we can drive significant impact by leveraging our expertise. Reflecting on what we can do now and in the future, we decided to incorporate our Impact Strategy into our broader business strategies, utilize our expertise and scale in water and housing products, and explore ways to cooperate with employees, partners, local communities, and other stakeholders.

Impact Strategy

In pursuit of enhancing corporate value through business activities and growth as well as ensuring we stay on course to becoming a sustainable company, we embedded our environmental strategy in the LIXIL Playbook, our roadmap (management direction) for achieving medium- to long-term targets. Why have we done this? Because, climate change and other environmental issues have a considerable impact on LIXIL’s business. As such, we do not regard environmental problems simply as “issues,” but rather as a means of achieving sustainable growth and creating value that dovetails with LIXIL’s Purpose. Our Impact Strategy serves as the foundation from which to promote the LIXIL Playbook, and our employees play a fundamental role in driving the initiatives designed to create this kind of value.
To adapt to our rapidly changing business environment and the increasing expectations of our key stakeholders, we will ensure that our Impact Strategy remains embedded at our business strategy. This will further drive us to be a proactive, solutions-oriented company.
