Group-wide Projects
under “Project AP-G 2013”
Three themes in AP-G 2013 that would work more effectively when practiced
on a group basis are implemented as a group-wide project.

Green Innovation Business Expansion (GR) Project


Toray Group will use its strength in chemistry to develop “Green Innovation
Businesses” on a global scale to provide solutions to the environmental issues
and energy and resource issues, towards the independence from petroleum
resources and the realization of a low-carbon society.

Asia and Emerging Country Business Expansion (AE) Project


Toray Group will seek to aggressively develop and expand businesses in Asia
and emerging countries in other regions that are expected to realize major
economic growth.

Total Cost Reduction (TC-II) Project


Toray Group will continue cost reduction initiatives to reinforce the robust
business footing required to achieve its objective of becoming a corporate
group that continually increases revenues and profits.

Market Forecast of Fuel-Cell Vehicles
 Toward “first year on the market of fuel-cell vehicles” in 2015, automobile manufacturers worldwide
are accelerating their development of Fuel-Cell Vehicles.
 National governments have announced support for infrastructure construction toward the spread of
Fuel-Cell Vehicles. For example, the Japanese government has decided to support the private
sector with such plans as to install 100 hydrogen gas stations mainly in the 4 metropolitan areas by
2015 in association with the revision in the High Pressure Gas Control Act and the Fire Service Act.

A specific technology that realizes alloy
structure of a number of polymers on a
nanometer order. Toray holds the basic
patent as well as major patent for
production and application.
This is a technology that offers high-
performance and high-functional
properties to polymer materials which
could not have been realized with general
micron order alloy.
