Lion's Roots

Since Lion's founding in 1891 as T. Kobayashi & Co., it has striven to help consumers realize health, comfort and cleanliness in everyday living by redesigning habits in line with its unchanging mission of "benefitting society through business activities."

Lion's Oral Care Products business began with the launch ofLion Toothpowder in 1896. Lion went on to contribute significantly to the development of oral care in Japan, establishing Japan's first dental clinic for children, helping to train dental hygienists and launching the Oral Health Event of Tooth Brushing for Children. In addition, in the field of laundry we have provided functional detergents formulated for hanging laundry to dry indoors and worked to protect the environment by making products more compact in order to use less plastic and promoting the use of refill packs. We have also helped promote the formation of hygienic habits not only in Japan, but across Asia by promoting hand washing habits suited to local lifestyles through theKireiKirei brand.

Lion has grown and developed its business by proposing habits that contribute to health, comfort and cleanliness in everyday living and by providing the various daily commodities necessary for such habits. Indeed, Lion's strength lies in the diverse capabilities it has built up over time, which play an essential role in the design of daily living habits.

In light of this track record and strength, we have defined our purpose as "Make a difference in everyday lives by redesigning habits: ReDesign." We seek to create social and economic value by putting this purpose into action.

New Issues in Recent Years

The COVID- pandemic has changed the world enormously. Lifestyles and values have changed in innumerable ways, and many of these changes are likely to be permanent. At the same time, dealing with global environmental problems cannot be put off any longer. Northeast Asia is facing a variety of new issues stemming from demographic graying, such as rising medical costs, and in Southeast Asia, demand for better health and hygiene habits is growing in step with economic development. In light of such rapid changes in the business environment and to precisely deal with diverse emerging social issues, continuously generate business value and contribute to society going forward, in addition to the capabilities we have built up to date, we must secure new abilities, including means of providing value outside the provision of goods.

With an unchanging focus of putting its purpose into action, Lion constantly endeavors to transform its businesses.

The Sustainability Material Issues under Vision

Based on our purpose, "Make a difference in everyday lives by redesigning habits: ReDesign," we formulated a long-term

strategic framework, Vision , aimed at achieving our management vision, "Becoming an advanced daily healthcare company."

Vision

Long-Term Strategic Framework

Under Vision

, we are synergistically advancing growth strategies and initiatives that address ourSustainability Material

Issues. Of these, we have positioned "Creating Healthy Living Habits," which contributes to the realization of everyday happiness, and "Promoting Environmental Initiatives for a Sustainable Planet" as our top priority material issues, and we are investing management resources in these areas accordingly. To address these issues, Lion will make full use of its unique strengths with regard to its capabilities in the area of creating living habits. We believe that promoting the use of a wide range of environmentally friendly products that reduce environmental burden in the home is one effective way that we can contribute to the achievement of not only "Creating Healthy Living Habits," but also "Promoting Environmental Initiatives for a Sustainable Planet."

In 2019, we established the LION Eco Challenge 2050 environmental objectives. These objectives put into words our dedication to working in partnership with all stakeholders to realize a decarbonized, resource-circulating society. This year, we have updated the objectives, setting even higher targets.
