Originally, in 2024, we cancelled the second medium-term management plan in order to shift the direction of cost structure reforms and the new business portfolio transformation, positioning this period as a phase of structural reform.
Through cost structure reforms, we successfully secured ¥30 billion and continued to implement cost reductions across our overseas sites. Starting in 2025, we launched a three-year medium-term management plan, linking cost structure improvements with site reorganization. The framework is now taking shape.

Our primary focus is on enhancing ROE. Instead of pursuing sheer growth in revenue or operating profit, we are committed to improving capital efficiency as a key driver of corporate value.

Our approach to renewable energy utilization is primarily through the purchase of renewable energy certificates. This effort is in response to customer requirements, and we are proactively adopting these measures to meet market expectations and contribute to sustainability goals.

We are advancing governance reforms to shift from a management-oriented board to a monitoring-focused board. Key initiatives include revising the attendance of executive officers at Board meetings to strengthen monitoring, and redefining submission standards for both the Board of Directors and the Executive Officers’ Committee to ensure a strict separation of execution and supervision.

With a strong focus on diversity, we are promoting the active participation of women, senior employees, and persons with disabilities, which has also helped deepen understanding of childcare leave within the organization. Moving forward, we aim to further enhance the quality of these initiatives by encouraging employees to take substantial childcare leave of one month or longer.

Currently, there are very few women in senior roles, so we are strengthening development efforts while also improving compensation to make managerial positions more attractive. We are also working to increase the proportion of women in new graduate recruitment, but the reality is that it is still insufficient.
We are evolving activities that enable all employees to work energetically, express their individuality, contribute to the organization, and have those contributions reflected in evaluations.

Our company has introduced secure environments for generative AI utilization, such as MS Copilot and AWS, for AI development and application.
In addition, we are promoting on-site AI adoption through initiatives like generative AI communities and AI utilization exchange meetings.

Following recent legal amendments, it has become possible to hold so-called “virtual-only” shareholder meetings, which are conducted entirely online without a physical venue. However, our company currently considers it premature to implement virtual-only shareholder meetings, as we place great importance on face-to-face dialogue with our shareholders. Every year, we provide on-demand streaming of the shareholder meeting from the day after the meeting until the end of September.
