Ever wondered what makes LIXIL truly special? Meet Toshie Takahashi, a trailblazer whose journey is one of grit, resilience and a testament to the incredible possibilities that emerge when ambition meets unwavering support. Toshie made a pivotal decision to join LIXIL in 2013 where she found herself at the heart of a burgeoning brand, shortly after LIXIL came together. Over the years, despite the challenges she faced, her resilience and the support LIXIL provided allowed Toshie to balance both of her roles, as a working mother and a leader – pioneering change in policies that support diversity and addressing the needs of employees in over 150 countries to foster growth and shape the future of living. “We have made progress as employees have shown a lot of courage. They have persistently proposed changes for the better and wellbeing of their colleagues. Apart from my experience, I see many others benefitting from the policies implemented to support diversity and growth of our people. I really see how as a company, we are truly making better homes a reality for everyone, everywhere.” Click here for the full story:https://lnkd.in/g_TxPTFC #EmployeeSpotlight #LIXIL

The ‘Aquatecture’ installation not only highlighted the benefits of 'Health through Water' but also offered carefully curated pieces from the GROHE SPA portfolio, providing a space for interaction, inspiration, and relaxation amidst the bustling streets of Milan.

Today we announced full-year financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. LIXIL CEO Kinya Seto commented, “During the fiscal year ending in March 2024, LIXIL experienced a decline in both revenue and profit on a consolidated level. Although the new housing market in Japan contracted more than initially projected, robust demand for renovation products, especially for home insulation, helped to sustain our financial performance. However, we encountered particularly adverse market conditions in our international business, with a slowdown in demand across the year, most acutely felt in Europe and the US. In response to these extraordinary market conditions, we have taken decisive actions aligned with the strategic initiatives set forth in our 'LIXIL Playbook.' We initiated structural reforms early in the fiscal year aimed at recovering the profitability of our international business operations. This included optimizing our personnel allocation in Europe and the US, further reviewing our business portfolio, including the streamlining of loss-making entities, and restructuring our supply chain. We anticipate these initiatives will further improve our profitability from the fiscal year ending March 2025. To enhance financial performance and achieve sustainable growth, we remain focused on serving consumers with more differentiated products while also delivering a positive impact for society and the environment. Concurrently, we are transforming LIXIL into a more agile, entrepreneurial organization, through accelerated digital transformation and building an inclusive culture that can drive innovation and seek new avenues for growth.” Learn more in today's press release :https://lnkd.in/ggzDNYyM #LIXIL #FY24 #Financialresults #Earnings
