At LIXIL, we are working to become an agile and entrepreneurial company that can achieve sustainable competitiveness and growth in order to fulfill our corporate purpose of making better homes a reality for everyone, everywhere.

To achieve this, we are taking steps to transform our operations, including optimizing our business portfolio to accelerate growth and strengthen our finances, actively managing our core businesses to enhance productivity and efficiency, driving synergies to create new growth, and strengthening governance to build trust and manage risk.

LIXIL PLAYBOOK

The Medium Term Plan (MTP) announced in 2017 outlines the actions LIXIL will take across its global organization, setting the company on track to achieve long-term sustainable growth.

Building on the progress made under our MTP, we have outlined our new management direction. We call this the LIXIL Playbook and it is a continuation of the fundamentals laid out in the MTP. The LIXIL Playbook covers four strategic initiatives, as well as a foundation based on empowering our people for sustainable growth.
