HAI quickly started research and development into plant-based higher alcohols, functional esters and isostearic acids derived from palm oil, etc., enabling us to achieve a stable supply of safe, high-quality products for a range of applications, primarily in the cosmetics field.
Underlying all of our operations is our corporate philosophy that emphasizes CSR, not only in relation to manufacturing high-quality products, but also how to fulfill our social responsibility and social contribution.
Based on such philosophy, we are currently rolling out a company-wide improvement activity, what we call the "Earth 21 Movement", aimed at realizing a management framework based on our three core values of corporate social responsibility, cost-effectiveness and humanity and improving quality, efficiency and meeting our deadlines with an awareness of current social issues.
Everyone at HAI is working together to achieve further corporate growth and the realization of our corporate philosophy.

Cosmetic trends and preferences vary significantly based on regional characteristics such as climate, ethnicity, culture, and history. Exploring and deeply understanding the unique background of each country is the first step toward making meaningful contributions to its distinct cosmetic culture. We are committed to fostering a profound appreciation for global cultures and characteristics, thereby enhancing our R&D in cosmetic ingredients and formulations tailored to each market. While contributing to the global growth of the Japanese cosmetics industry, we aim to solidify our position as a trusted, "one-of-a-kind" enterprise by creating high-value-added products that only we can deliver. Moving forward, we will continue to uphold our triad management philosophy of "Economy, Humanity, and Society." We aim to be the partner of choice by delivering visionary, irreplaceable technologies that inspire and energize the market. Driven by momentum that strengthens client relationships and propels us into the future, we will continue to contribute to the advancement of both cosmetics and pharmaceutical excipients industries as a premier raw material manufacturer.

Kokyu Alcohol Kogyo completed its new Headquarters Research Institute in June 2025. We view the construction of this new hub not merely as a physical expansion, but as a catalyst for "creating opportunities" that will unlock future potential. Equipped with a vast array of new experimental facilities, the institute provides an optimal environment to take on a broader range of R&D challenges, paving the way for our entry into entirely new fields. We place a strong emphasis on cross-departmental collaboration while actively fostering opportunities for external engagement. Our goal is for this institute to serve as a vibrant hub that vitalizes partnerships with clients and universities, integrating fresh insights and technical intelligence to drive mutual growth. Moving forward, we will continue to invest proactively in essential R&D infrastructure. By integrating advanced analytical equipment that expands the scope of our fundamental research and consistently engaging with the latest technical insights and external organizations, we are committed to building an efficient, high-impact R&D framework.
