We will provide the world with concrete energy-related solutions by making the most of our
technologies and knowledge that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the
atmosphere.
These solutions will become fully visualized products and we will create a
completely new sense of value; thus, become a game changer for the world. E-cubed Goals was founded in 2025; the name comes from the fact we are confident that we can contribute through technologies and solutions based on the agenda set out by the United Nations’

【The power of Japanese manufacturing for the world and the future】
We will create innovative solutions based on the solid technical capabilities and the spirit of
Japanese manufacturing. Through further development and revitalization of the manufacturing
industry, we will achieve harmony with the world and make a concrete contribution to the SDGs’
agenda. We will redefine Japan's values, increase their presence in the world, and contribute to
the realization of a sustainable future.
The new solutions we have created are all unique and new, and never seen before in the world.
These solutions are built on new business models visualizing the reduction of greenhouse gases
related to energy. We will promote Japanese manufacturing by increasing added value with
hardware and in-house developed IoT, and by utilizing big data collected through the network
with AI.
These issues must be fully visualized, and carbon neutrality cannot be achieved without a strong
alliance between governments, people, and companies in each country. We will continue to take
on the challenge of finding solutions, working with professional partners to develop the
technology and development capabilities to achieve these goals, and placing emphasis on
passing on our planet, this Earth, to the next generation above all else.
Deep down, we all feel a sense of crisis about the unstable and chaotic world we live in today. If
things continue like this, it will be difficult to have hope for the future. This is the thought that led
us to start our company.
We want to properly pass on our beautiful Earth and rich natural environment to our children and
future generations. And with a focus on the simple but important value of "loving people and the
Earth," we will share and embody the ideas and actions necessary for the new era with our
colleagues.
Our team will work hand in hand with people and companies who share the same vision to
create solutions that are truly valuable to the society and the planet. Through this challenge, we
hope to make a contribution from our perspective to corporate behaviors and values, and to
people's way of life.
We hope that our philosophy and efforts will be a message to the next generations. We will be a
game changer, aiming to be "the most interesting company in the world." We will continue to
take on new challenges every single day.
