The Merchant Value Creation Cycle
The Merchant Value Creation Cycle Centered on “Sampo-yoshi”
To achieve sustainable enhancement of corporate value, it is necessary to leverage our accumulated capital and strengths as driving forces to expand both our economic value and environmental / social value. Specifically, we will achieve sustainable value creation by aiming to expand created value (Steady Accumulation of Profits and Achievement of Targets), increase growth rate (Steppingstones to Medium- to Long-Term Value Creation), and lower cost of capital (Initiatives and Systems Supporting Sustainable Growth), thereby strengthening our capital and strengths, which are its driving forces, and continuing the virtuous cycle.
Creating businesses by understanding diverse needs, adapting to changes, and providing high added value.
“Earn”: Conduct business aligning with changes in the world and customer needs
“Cut”: Reduce expenses that are not cost-effective and cut down on unnecessary meetings and documents, etc., ensuring proper expense control
“Prevent”: Prevent outflows due to losses on receivables and impairment losses
By leveraging our unique ability as a general trading company to act as a coordinator, upgrade business management, and create synergies, we continuously create added value from customers’ point of views, stabilize commercial rights, expand trade, and increase the overall value of businesses, including investees.
In addition to investing in areas where we have strengths, we are promoting growth investments that expand business areas and strengthen our business foundation. At the same time, we are committed to thoroughly managing risks and executing asset strategies that pursue asset efficiency, taking into account the characteristics of each segment.
