Beyond the Milestone: 100 Million Lives and the Road to 2030

Today, 3.5 billion people lack safe sanitation, a crisis endangering millions of children. LIXIL’s social business, SATO, tackles this global challenge through a sustainable business model that fosters local employment and robust markets rather than relying on traditional CSR or one-off donations. This session traces SATO’s 13-year journey—from its origins in rural Bangladesh to its expansion across 50+ countries—reaching the historic milestone of 100 million lives improved. We share transformative stories of how the innovative SATO Pan restores health and dignity, demonstrating how corporate Purpose can serve as a powerful engine for social transformation. Finally, we share our vision for a future where business growth and social responsibility are two sides of the same coin. Learn how we work to fulfill LIXIL’s Purpose—to make better homes a reality for everyone, everywhere—shaping a world where a healthy and fulfilling life is within reach for all.

In this session, we will explore the emerging concept of plurality and, through a panel of speakers offering diverse perspectives, engage in a discussion that examines well‑being in an era of societal fragmentation and questions how we ought to position ourselves within it.
