ITOCHU’s Business Model

Our business model is characterized by the dual approach of “business investment” and “trade,” driving sustainable value creation through the generation of business opportunities from a downstream perspective based on merchant management philosophy. In other words, our strength lies in our ability to combine “points (business investments)” and “lines (trades)” to promote business development on “surfaces,” such as building value chains, providing financing functions, and sharing customer bases and knowledge.
