Global Strategy

Think Global, Act Local

We aim to become a company that delivers unique technologies and products all over the world, in order to save human lives and resolve social issues. We promote activities deeply rooted in local communities worldwide. We advance transculturation from a global perspective. There is no border in chemistry, and when we do business in foreign lands, we focus on conducting local-based business (Glocal business) by overcoming cultural differences.
Our goal is to become a company with a global presence by offering valuable solutions to the world market in a timely manner.

The Best Glocal Kaneka Way

Our global network enabling business development deeply rooted in communities

We are promoting the Glocal Kaneka Way, which aims to strengthen management capabilities at our global locations by balancing the development of overall optimal strategy through the Global Center with the enhancement of local adaptability.

Glocal Human Resources Management

We have established systems to embed a border­less, global perspective in how we conduct business as a common foundation for the actions of all employees in Japan and overseas. Through this, we aim to develop people who can create value in an international environment. We conduct the global leadership training program Kaneka Creative Corner 2.0 for national staff managers to enable them to apply Kaneka’s strong onsite capabilities—developed primarily at our domestic locations—in their local sites. We are also implementing Kaneka 1-on-1 sessions at each of our global locations to foster an organizational culture where teams, led by their leaders, work together to achieve ambitious goals.

Moving Key Business Activities Overseas

Kaneka is turning to the global market to be the driving force behind its transformation and growth, and is steadily increasing its overseas sales.
Along with promoting the localization of management, we are boldly appropriating management resources to overseas. We will thoroughly strengthen local activities though borderless R2B activities and by taking a market-out approach to market development in which local trends and the latest needs are captured.
