Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd.

Nippon Paint Group promotes its business in 30 countries and regions including Japan, Asia, Oceania, the Americas, and Europe with the core mission of Maximization of Shareholder Value (MSV). MSV aims to maximize the residual financial value after fulfilling our duties to our stakeholders including but not limited to our customers, employees, business partners, and society. MSV aims for long term sustainable growth and value maximization, and is totally different from “shareholder primacy” which may focus on the short term profit maximization. Based on this management mission, we formulated the Group’s Corporate Purpose, “Enriching our living world through the power of Science + Imagination”, which defines the identity of Nippon Paint Group. Starting from this year, Nippon Paint Holdings focuses solely on functions as a listed company and as a pure holding company. Other functions relating to the business operations conducted in Japan have been transferred to newly established Nippon Paint Corporate Solutions Co., Ltd. We will further accelerate our efforts to achieve MSV through the strong teamwork of our diverse employees working around the world, while respecting the autonomous management of each partner company*. *Name of consolidated subsidiary companies of Nippon Paint Holdings As Japan’s longest-established paint and coatings manufacturer, we have continuously contributed to various social issue solving, starting from the development of non-toxic Aenka to most recently anti-viral coating solutions.
