In this section, we look back on a trajectory of steady enhancement of corporate value realized by implementing the “Brand-new Deal” strategy under a series of management plans that began in FYE 2012. We also explain our record-setting results in FYE 2022 and the FYE 2023 management plan, which covers the second year of the medium-term management plan “Brand-new Deal 2023.”

Our aim in this section is to give an overview of business transformation and development that begins from frontline operations in accordance with the basic policies of “Realizing business transformation by shifting to a market-oriented perspective” and “Enhancing our contribution to and engagement with the SDGs through business activities,” which are set out in the medium-term management plan “Brand-new Deal 2023.”
Also, a special feature provides numerous specific examples of such initiatives.

With an emphasis on the relevance to our businesses, this section focuses on initiatives to promote sustainability and includes a PEST analysis of macroenvironmental factors.
