Skills Matrix

The Company formulated its Medium-Term Management Plan “integration 1.0” for the period from April 2024 through March 2027, and set forth six basic policies: (1) promotion of integrated group management, (2) expansion of value proposition, (3) strengthening of organizational capabilities for new value creation, (4) strengthening human capital, (5) further enhancement of management functions, and (6) medium- to long-term enhancement of shareholder value. By combining maximally the business acumen cultivated through its trading business with the intangible assets that are the strength of the entire Group in DX and GX, including the ICT solutions business, and positioning “a solution provider leading the transformation of efficient and sustainable supply chain” as our goal in the medium- to long-term, the Company will take initiatives that are not limited to an extension of its previous business approaches.
In order to make headway with the initiatives based on these basic policies, the Board of Directors has positioned it as important responsibility to provide effective advice and supervision from a strategic and holistic perspective on enhancement of shareholder value over the medium- to long-term, and has designated nine areas as the skills that the Board of Directors ought to possess.
