Continuing to improve our corporate value while placing Human Resources First

Since assuming the role of CEO on April 1, 2022, I have consistently emphasized to our employees and officers that our priority is placing Human Resources First, followed by executing our growth strategy. Our vision is to support the safety, security, and comfort of people worldwide in order to realize a sustainable society, and to achieve this, we have established the three policies of maximizing the value of human capital, expanding through growth strategies, and promoting sustainability management as part of the SJC Group Vision 2030. In May 2024, we announced our Medium-term Management Plan 2027, which adds a fourth policy of engaging in management with an awareness of capital costs and stock price. Going forward, we will actively promote effective investments as we aim to become a 100-year company with sustainable growth.
