Creating Value throughout the Sumitomo Rubber GroupA Roadmap for ESG Management
With “Our Philosophy” as the basis for all of our decisions, the Sumitomo Rubber Group pursues the Purpose—“Through innovation wewill create a future of joy and well-being for all”—which provides the impetus for all of its actions in the course of corporate activities.
Recently, we have established a Sustainability Vision to connect our Purpose, which is designed to convey abstract concepts, andvarious tangible measures specified under the Long-Term Sustainability Policy: “Driving Our Future Challenge 2050.” In line with thisSustainability Vision, we will increase the momentum of our efforts to embody our Purpose and thereby contribute to the continuing
prosperity of a sustainable society as envisioned by the international community.

Sustainability Vision

Long-Term Sustainability Policy

Uniting our diverse strengths, we will make our future sustainable and “GENKI” (vibrant)
by delivering products and services that are friendly to the environment and society.
Note: Our “GENKI” concepts date back to 1988, when employee volunteers first launched community contribution projects to help
realize a society in which everyone can thrive. With each letter of “GENKI” representing one aspect of our ideals for what theSumitomo Rubber Group should look like in the future, we utilize these concepts in the course of identifying priority issues.
GENKI (literally, “vibrant”) stands for the following five concepts:
G : Governance E : Ecology N : Next K : Kindness I : Integrity
