Double Recognition (Flags and Niche Top)

Double recognized products and services are highly selected products and services that meet the recognition criteria for both Flags and Niche Top. We achieve both high societal impact and strong profitability, thereby aiming to enhance corporate value.

Overview of Double Recognition (Flags and Niche Top)

Definition and Significance of Double Recognition

Based on its material issues for sustainability, the Nitto Group recognizes products and services that are essential to solving social issues as PlanetFlags™ / HumanFlags™, which represent products that contribute to the environment and human life. In addition, under the Nitto Group’s unique “Niche Top Strategy”, products and services that have achieved the No. 1 market share in niche segments within growing and evolving markets are designated as Global Niche Top™ / Area Niche Top™ products and services.
Double recognized products and services are carefully selected products and services that meet the recognition criteria of both Flags and Niche Top. Through Double Recognition, the Nitto Group aims to achieve both a high level of social contribution and strong profitability, thereby aiming to enhance corporate value.
To realize our Target state 2030 of becoming an “Essential ESG Niche Top Company,” the Nitto Group positions the promotion of Double Recognition at the core of its corporate value enhancement. As a key indicator of this commitment, the Group has set a target of achieving a double recognized products revenue ratio of 50% or higher and is promoting this initiative across the entire organization.

An example of Value Creation through Double Recognition

The battery bonding electrical release tape recognized under Flags firmly bonds components under normal conditions yet can be easily and cleanly removed by applying a low voltage when removal is required—without damaging surrounding materials. This technology enhances battery removability, improving efficiency and reducing material loss in the manufacturing process.
As a result, it helps reduce environmental impact across the entire product lifecycle.
In addition, this product contributes to the realization of the “Right to Repair,” which has been legislated in EU member states. As this product is also recognized as a Niche Top product, it qualifies as a double recognized product.

In this way, through the promotion of Double Recognition, the Nitto Group will continue to solve social issues while creating economic value.
