A Message from Management
The environment surrounding society, individuals and the future is undergoing major changes at present. Now, at such a time, the automotive industry is also facing a period of great transformation. The industry is attaching great importance to the four megatrends of connected, autonomous, ride-sharing and electrified (CASE). Against this backdrop, technological innovation and the business environment is undergoing rapid and significant changes. In addition to Clarion, automakers and auto part manufacturers also need to respond to these sudden changes in the business environment. We, Clarion, become a member of the Faurecia Group, a global leader in automotive technology, in 2019 under this business environment. Faurecia establishes Faurecia Clarion Electronics (FCE) as a new Business Group – its fourth one. Clarion is at the core of FCE and will continue to be active in the future. Parrot Faurecia Automotive in France and Faurecia Coagent Electronics in China, companies already under the umbrella of Faurecia, will be integrated into FCE in addition to Clarion. Clarion will demonstrate leadership in this Business Group and we will aim to become a global leader in cockpit electronics.
Faurecia has given two policies it is tackling.
- Cockpit of the future: Solutions for a connected, versatile and predictive cockpit
- Sustainable mobility: Solutions for zero emission and air quality
- Technologies and products that provide comfort and convenience to all in the vehicle
- Creation of a world in which the inside and outside of cars are connected seamlessly
We will continue to sense the needs of our customers quickly as possible amid changes in society and progress in technologies to provide products that incorporate advanced functions. We will do this with a focus on our cockpit business and advanced driving assistance systems / autonomous driving business that aim to achieve safety and security. We will also strive to create products that will make our customers feel great satisfaction, peace of mind and joy.
We will move forward with all our employees coming together as one under a constant awareness of ambition, creativity and sincerity that are our action commitments in our corporate philosophy. We will then fulfill our corporate social responsibility with the aim of growing as a Japan-based global company needed in the world.
