NIKKOL GROUP’s CSR Activities and More
NIKKOL 25 for 2030
The origin of the products and services offered by the NIKKOL GROUP can be traced back to the “true responsibility” that our founder, Masami Sekine, set out to achieve. The ideas that have been passed down over the past 70 years have been strengthened by the merger in 2022.
Under the slogan “NIKKOL 25 for 2030,” we will continue to strive for the realization of a sustainable society while considering the interests of our stakeholders.
The NIKKOL GROUP’s CSR
The NIKKOL GROUP companies have implemented more than 150 CSR activities, both large and small. Underlying all of these activities is a commitment to fulfill our responsibilities as a member of society.

The NIKKOL GROUP’s commitment to contribute to people around the world as a socially responsible entity
Message from CEO
Our environment is at a major turning point. Consumer needs are diversifying with the development of technology and changing lifestyles.
It is precisely because we live in an era in which there are no “right answers”, that the social responsibilities of suppliers who support our daily lives are so important.
The NIKKOL GROUP is no exception. We have been involved in our own “CSR” and “sustainability” efforts even before the terms became as relevant as they are today.
Our activities cover a wide range of areas, but their ultimate goal is “the people’s joy and happiness.” Our more than 4,000 products are proof of our sincere commitment to society.
The NIKKOL GROUP will continue to provide new value based on our company policy, “Fostering of Creativity.”
