VALUE CREATION CASE STUDY: CONTRIBUTING TO THE REALIZATION OF A DECARBONIZED AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Exemplifying our approach to achieving our purpose, LIXIL is expanding the development of PremiAL, a low-carbon aluminum building material. Combining our expertise and technological capabilities cultivated over 25 years, we were able to pioneer this low-carbon aluminum building material. Based on the LIXIL Playbook, we will achieve sustainable growth and support the realization of a decarbonized and circular economy.
