Reasons for Selections of Principal Specialized Area of Experience/Areas in which Officers are Expected to Make a Particular Contribution
Area	Reasons for Selection
All Aspects of Management	ITOCHU Corporation is a general trading company that operates in diverse business sectors. The oversight of business operations requires knowledge of this area in order to participate in discussions about business plans and strategies that may enhance corporate value based on the spirit of “Sampo-yoshi”.
Global	Knowledge of this area based on understanding different cultures and geopolitics is required because ITOCHU Corporation operates on a global scale as a general trading company.
Marketing / Sales	Knowledge of these areas is required because promotion of “Earn” measures is a key element of ITOCHU Corporation’s operations, which depend on leveraging sales capabilities as a “Merchant,” from a market-oriented perspective.
Self-Transformation / DX	ITOCHU Corporation realizes sustained growth by drawing on comprehensive strengths as a general trading company accompanied by self-transformation in a flexible manner that reflects changes in the external environment. ITOCHU Corporation does not make DX itself a target. Instead, by self-transformation, ITOCHU Corporation steadily builds up individual projects that are expected to swiftly contribute to profit namely those that optimize supply chains, etc. while leveraging existing business foundations. Knowledge of these areas is required for taking these actions.
SDGs / ESG	ITOCHU Corporation aims for sustained growth with a commitment to capitalism with greater emphasis on serving all stakeholders, which is “Sampo-yoshi capitalism.” ITOCHU Corporation sets to solve the seven identified material issues through business operations, including addressing climate change, to contribute to accomplishing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Consequently, knowledge of these areas is required.
Health & Medical Care	People is the most valued management resource of ITOCHU Corporation. Developing capability and enhancing the health is essential for maintaining a powerful workforce that may fulfill our Guideline of Conduct: “I am One with Infinite Missions.” Consequently, knowledge of these areas is required.
Finance, Accounting & Risk Management	Sustained growth requires strong financial foundation, accurate financial reports, and the analysis of risks when examining M&A and other projects. A quantitative framework of administrative divisions which support business divisions is also essential. Consequently, knowledge of these areas is required for constantly implementing the “Earn, Cut, Prevent” principles.
Human Resource Strategy	ITOCHU Corporation clearly identifies human resources as a key component of management strategy. Knowledge of this area is required in order to effectively implement various initiatives, such as work-style reforms to enhance corporate value.
Internal Control & Legal Affairs / Compliance	ITOCHU Corporation maintains an appropriate structure for the monitoring and audit of management in order to ensure appropriate and efficient execution of operation. Knowledge of these areas is required in order to make constant improvements to this structure and implement “prevent” measures.
